Market Closing Bell: Stock markets ended the last trading session of May in the red as traders turned cautious ahead of the release of domestic GDP data.

During the day, it touched a high of 81,698.21 and a low of 81,286.45. The 50-issue NSE Nifty shed 82.90 points or 0.33 per cent to 24,750.70. It had closed at 24,833.60 in the last trading session. During the day, it hit a high of 24,863.95 and a low of Rs 24,717.40. 

Among sectors, all leading sectoral indices, including Nifty Metal, Nifty IT and Nifty Pharma, ended in the red territory, with the Nifty IT falling 1.15 per cent and Nifty Metal nosediving 1.69 per cent at the end of the session.

"Nifty has been struggling to move beyond a certain level. Immediate support is placed at 24,700; a breach below this level could lead to a decline towards 24,500. On the higher side, 24,800 is likely to act as a crucial resistance, as call writers have built significant positions at that level," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
