Indian benchmark index saw a profit order for the second consecutive day on April 6 behind a weak global cue because investors waited for the FOMC March meeting minutes, to be released tonight.
At the close, Sensex fell 566.09 points or 0.94 percent at 59.610.41, and Nifty fell 149.70 points or 0.83 percent at 17,807.70.
At the April 5 conference, the Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said he expected the increased methodical interest rate and fast reduction to the Fed balance sheet to bring US monetary policy to “more neutral position” this year, with further tightening to follow Reuters.
“The main index was muted due to a decline in HDFC group shares after the rally, and weak performance from the IT sector to anticipate weak results on the basis of QoQ and weak global cues,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
“The broad market has maintained its momentum because of good & small performance.”
“We can expect volatility in the short term ahead of the RBI policy meeting which is expected to accommodate tariffs but increase inflation estimates,” he added.
HDFC Bank, HDFC, HDFC Life, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra are among the top nifty losers. Coal India, IOC, NTPC, Tata Steel and Power Grid Corp are the main enhancer.
In the front of the sectoral, nifty bank and the index fell 1 percent respectively. On the other hand, Bank PSU and metal indices rose 1 percent respectively.
Stocks and sectors
In BSE, sales are seen in the sector of the car, banking, IT, pharmaceutical, and realty, while the oil and gas index, electricity and metal each obtained by 1 percent respectively.
The wider market outperformed the forefront, with BSE MIDCAP and a small index that ended with a marginal increase.
Old stacking was seen in Indian hotels, Tata Power and Sail India, while a short accumulation was seen in the IRCTC industry, Marico and Rain.
In BSE, more than 150 shares touched their 52 week high, including Tata Power, Welsun Corp, IDFC, Dwarikesh Sugar Industries and Bank of Baroda.
Among individual stocks, the volume surge of more than 200 percent was seen in Indian coal, Nalco and India.
Outlook for April 7
Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research Equity (Retail), Securities Box:
Traders rushed to cut their positions further in the banking and stock, so that it attracted a sharp benchmark index. Weaknesses in other global markets and fears that the US Fed Hawkish is likely to raise interest rates along with carefully ahead of the RBI’s policy to meet investors to change risks.
The intraday texture of the market has changed weak and fresh pullback rally only possible after 17900 breakout.
For traders, 17,900 will act as direct obstacles, and below the same, the weak formation is likely to continue until 17,700-17,650. However, above 17,900 indices can rise up to 17,820-17,865.
Nifty has strong support between 17,650 and 17,700 and therefore traders can take a long bet near 17,650 with strict strict support at 17,620.
Rupak De, senior technical analyst at LKP Securities:
The benchmark index found resistance around the previous before settling on negative records. On the daily chart, the index has moved in a channel that rises where it has fallen into the ribbon under the channel.
In the future, the immediate recovery from the current level is expected. However, failure to hold on top of the ribbon from the rising channel can trigger selling pressure on the market. At the bottom end, support is seen at 17,750 under the nifty can float to the position of 17,450 for the short term.
