In sectoral trends, IT stocks gained due to expected increases in discretionary spending, while auto stocks declined following lower-than-expected monthly volumes. The investors are closely monitoring the progress of the monsoon, the forthcoming Union budget, alongside the US election, which can have potential global economic implications.

Comment:: Nifty to remain in sell on rallies mode below 24,250

The Nifty faced profit booking around 24,200, leading to a close 100 points off the high. The sentiment is likely to favor selling on rallies until it moves above 24,250. On the lower end, 24,000 is likely to act as immediate support for the Nifty. A fall below 24,000 might trigger a correction towards 23,850 - 23,700.
