"The market closed near its peak, with the Bank Nifty index emerging as a standout performer. Despite a rocky start, the PSU index demonstrated resilience, bouncing back from early declines.

When stock markets resume trading on Tuesday in the holiday shortened week, a host of important domestic and global events lined-up during this week are likely to impact them. The underlying tone of the market remains positive. Major global markets will remain shut for trading on December 25, Monday on account of Christmas holiday.
After relentless selling in recent days, Nifty has temporarily paused its decline due to an oversold chart setup, Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities said, adding that the index closed significantly below the critical breakdown level of 19,250. As long as it stays below 19,250, the market may continue to be inclined towards selling on any upward movements, he opined as he sees a further downside opening below 18,800 if weakness continues from here, he added.
In the coming days, the market may react to some major macroeconomic data such as US S&P Global manufacturing and services PMI, initial jobless claims, building permits, crude oil inventories, existing home sales, FOMC policy outcomes, UK and Eurozone inflation, among others, Nanda said
