Nifty Futures – LTP 17,708
 
Nifty touched an all-time high of 17,947 and witnessed some selling pressure at higher levels on weak global cues backed by a rise in 10-year U.S. bond yield. As a result, Nifty shed some gains and made a low of 17,576. However, it reversed its trend and is currently trading 1.3% above its 21-DMA. Yesterday, Nifty had a gap-down opening and remained volatile throughout the session with a negative bias. The benchmark traded in the range of 17,608–17,782 and ended at 17,711.
