All indices except Nifty Pharma (+0.78%), Nifty Media (+0.27%), and Nifty Auto (+0.08%) closed in the red. Nifty PSU Bank (-1.67%) fell the most.

Today’s Moves

Cipla (+3.16%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer.

IRB Infra (+6.6%) surged on the back of strong volumes.

Bajaj Finance (-2.8%) was NIFTY50’s top loser. The company’s Q2 results failed to meet street estimates.

HUDCO (-10.78%) fell sharply after the Indian govt said it would sell up to 7% stake in the company through an offer for sale (OFS).

Biocon (-6.3%) moved down after the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) classified its Malaysian insulin manufacturing facility as Official Action Indicated (OAI).

Markets Ahead

There is no point in talking about the Israel-Hamas issue again and again. But it has brought a lot of confusion in the global economy.

“Will crude oil price continue to rise?”
“Will inflation rates jump again?”
“Should we expect another rate hike?”
“USD-INR is testing the resistance at 83.2. Will there be more weakness?”

What will investors do at this point? They will simply exit their portfolio with every rise and wait for a dip.

Nifty has fallen below its immediate support at 19,780. But we will see a good inflow of cash if it touches the 19,480 level.

Bank Nifty has made a weak pattern after retracing to 44,660 resistance. HDFC Bank is not giving an indication of a bounce back, as the major support is far away at the 1,470 zone.

What about ICICI Bank? The current chart structure indicates major support near the 929-933 zone ahead of its results on October 21.

Bank Nifty chart Sept 22 - post-market analysis | marketfeed

All indices except Nifty PSU Bank (+3.51%) and Nifty Auto (+0.21%) closed flat-to-red. Nifty Pharma (-1.5%) fell the most.

Major Asian markets closed mixed. Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC40 are currently trading in the red, while UK’s FTSE100 is trading in the green.

Today’s Moves

IndusInd Bank (+2.95%) was NIFTY50’s top gainer.

Maruti Suzuki (+2.4%) moved up after brokerages Citi and Morgan Stanley maintained their bullish stance on the stock.

HUDCO (+18.84%) hit a 5-year high of ₹85.8 on the back of a positive outlook. The stock has surged nearly 95% since April 2023.

All 12 stocks in NIFTY PSU Bank closed in the green, with Central Bank of India (9%), Union Bank (5.4%) and Canara Bank (4.6%) emerging as top gainers.

Dr Reddy’s Labs (-2.67%) was NIFTY50’s top loser.

Glenmark Pharma (-3.01%) declined up to 6% after the firm received board approval to sell a 75% stake in subsidiary Glenmark Life Sciences to Nirma.

Markets Ahead

Markets are extremely volatile and every uptick is getting sold with a lot of strength. As discussed in yesterday’s post-market report, a sell-on-rise market was expected, and we are seeing it in action.

Nifty: The immediate resistance to watch out for is near 19,720 levels. For a proper uptrend, the index has to cross the resistance at 19,800. The major support is near 19,650. And if this level is breached, we can expect Nifty to hit 19,630 and 19,560.

Bank Nifty: The index is near its round-level support zone of 44,500. A breakdown from this level could give us targets of 44,300 and 44,000. The immediate resistance to look out will be 45,000. Wait for BNF to cross 45,000 if you’re looking for buying opportunities.

On a weekly time frame, the indices are looking weak. But they have taken support from trendlines. So, if those trend lines are breached, we can expect bearishness in the coming months!

PSU bank stocks outperformed today as India’s inclusion in JP Morgan’s Government Bond Index led to a decline in bond yields.
