Tech Stocks Lead Volume Surge as Nifty Hovers Near 23,000

In early trading on February 18, 2025, Indian markets saw high-volume activity in select stocks. Tech Mahindra emerged as the top gainer, up 1.16%, followed by Wipro at 1.04%. Apollo Hospitals also saw significant interest, rising 1.00%. On the flip side, ONGC and NTPC were among the top losers. The Nifty hovered around the 22,900 mark, with the index facing resistance at 23,150. Banking stocks showed mixed performance, with some recovery seen after initial weakness. Analysts suggest the market remains in a sell-on-rise mode unless the Nifty crosses 23,150. Investors are closely watching upcoming US inflation data and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy for further cues.
