Markets Ahead

Nifty closed in the red today but saw consolidation after its gap-down opening. It was interesting to see the index holding above its immediate support of 17,500 by the closing time. Bank Nifty also managed to closed above 37,000 zone with some power near the closing time.

Keeping aside the auto sector and some stock-specific volatility, the indices closed with consolidation after the gap-down. We can keep watching the international markets for cues. Last week it was the Evergrande issue causing concerns and this week it is the energy crisis in China.

But as you can see, with the excess of money flowing into the market, certain stocks and sectors continue to move up and the correction is not strong. If a huge fall comes, we can expect weak hands in the market to exit and a continuation of the bearish correction phase. But if it is many days of small red candles, we can consider it just as consolidation.

Keep a watch on metal and pharma stocks. Also, IT stocks may bounce from their current supports ahead of Q2 results being published.

Tomorrow is the monthly expiry, so we can expect high movements in the indices including Bank Nifty. Nifty IT gained sharply towards the end with power in Infosys and TCS after their morning fall. This bullishness could be continued tomorrow.

Looking at how the European markets are performing now, and with Dow Jones Futures in the green, we can expect a gap-up opening tomorrow in Nifty. Keep a watch out for Kotak Bank, Reliance and IT stocks.

Today’s Market Summarised

A day of a heavy fall in the market and an almost V-shaped recovery towards the end.

Nifty opened at 17,900 and was immediately bearish. Just around 11 AM, the index started testing its 17,800 support zone. Once this was broken, a free fall of nearly 230 points took Nifty to its day-low just 1 hour before market close. But in the last hour of trading, heavy institutional buying was seen and Nifty closed the day at 17,748, down 106 points or 0.60%.

Bank Nifty opened the day at 38,362 and moved down. In two hours after opening, the index of banks was testing its support at 38k. Once 37,800 was also broken, there was a heavy sell-off which pulled Bank Nifty down another 500 points. A last-hour buying gave strength and Bank Nifty recovered to close the day at 37,945, down 226 points or 0.59%.

Asian markets closed mostly in the green. European markets are all trading in the red today.

Markets Ahead

Today was the day of public sector companies with Nifty CPSE up 3%. CPSE stands for Central Public Sector Enterprises and includes the companies which featured in Nifty’s top-gainers.

The global energy shortage and the price increase is a current phenomenon that we have been discussing for many months. It is now getting tighter with stricter emission norms and increase in global demand leading up to the cold months. As I discussed above, governments will be helping these companies to expand as demand for a necessity like energy will only keep on increasing.

Reliance can be a good diversified investment into both new-age tech with Jio, Retail and in Energy business for the next 5-10 years. Will be increasing exposure to my long-term portfolio.

Anyway, a swift fall in the market after 17,800 was broken. Almost all market participants including us were expecting a fall if this level was broken, and that is exactly what we got. European indices and U.S. Futures are still in the red, indicating there is still a profit booking sentiment globally. We can watch for 17,500 as support and 17,800 as resistance tomorrow.

Markets Ahead

There is a slight sense of profit booking in global markets. Interestingly, only Indian market is now at its 52-week high, while others are still 1-3% down from this level.

Today, Bank of America said that its Global Equity Funds saw the first outflow in 2021, which was also the largest outflow since March 2020. 

BofA Weekly Note also talked about the Biggest Outflow From U.S. Equity Funds Since Feb 2018, and Largest Outflows From European Equity Funds In 2021. This is not a random event as it is being seen worldwide. Keep in mind that a correction could be possible.

Mostly a consolidating day with the Midcap index closing in the red. I feel that this could be an indication of a small correction in the market. European markets are in the red, and Bitcoin has also moved down 3-4% with crackdowns in China. Crude oil is still in the green.

Interestingly, even when the markets have fallen after rallying there are always investors who seem to be confident in buying the dip. Make sure your portfolio of long-term picks are fundamentally strong and this could help you outlast corrections. 

Reliance failed to stay above 2,500 after opening at its fresh 52-week high. But HDFC Bank held up Nifty by contributing more than 30 points.

Keeping a watch of 17,950 as immediate resistance and 17,800 as the immediate support for Nifty.

Hope you had a great week in the market. Make sure to check out some stocks for studies during the weekend and also to find some time to chill out!

Markets Ahead

After yesterday’s bullish close in the U.S. markets, Nifty no longer found a reason to remain weak. A fresh all-time high was created, just 150 points away from the mark of 18,000. We can all agree that the 1,800 points gain in the last 35 trading days have been nothing short of crazy.

With the largecaps continuing their move, midcaps are also slowly seeing its strength come back. Realty and Media have been shooting up this last month with power in major stocks like DLF and ZEEL.

With the rally in Reliance, we can expect its subsidiaries to also see investor interest soon.
