NIFTY opened at 17,053 with a gap-up and moved up. By around 1 PM, the index hit a day-high and then cooled back down. Support was taken soon and the index hit closed with strength. NIFTY ended the day at 17,136, up by 178 points or 1.05%.

BANK NIFTY opened at 36,504 and fell more than 300 points in 15 minutes. Throughout the day, the index traded in a 400 point zone and moved sideways. BANK NIFTY ended the day at 36,314, down by 26 points or 0.07%.

NIFTY Auto, NIFTY IT and NIFTY FMCG closed well during the day.

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

News Picks 

BPCL (+3.7%) closed at a 2-month high with good buying and closed as NIFTY’s top-gainer. Reliance also once again gained nearly 3% for the day.

Auto index outperformed in the day with Tata Motors (+3.6%), Eicher Motors (+3.3%) and Maruti (+3.1%) moving up more than 3% each.

Cement companies also moved up led by Shree Cements (+3.4%) and Ultratech Cements (+3.3%) in NIFTY. ACC (+7.3%) and Ambuja Cement (+4.8%) also shot up. ACC is up after posting Q4 results yesterday.

LTI (-5.5%) shares fell once again as the Q4 results of the company disappointed investors.

Markets Ahead

Reliance is continuing to provide crucial support for the index. The stock is just under 1% away from its all-time high valuation!

Markets are in an important zone now. NIFTY has consolidated around this zone many times in the past. Those who are going bullish on the market can do so with a strict stoploss at 16,835 for NIFTY. 

The 36,300 zone is also important for Bank Nifty. So keep an eye out if the index closes below this level.

On similar notes, expecting stability in the market, NIFTY IT is currently at support in a downward channel pattern. We can expect today’s recovery to continue for a few more days.

International markets seem to have taken the Ukraine-Russia news lightly. Even though some panic exists, a large fall like last time will not happen again unless there is a high escalation.

Also, looks like a 4th wave is coming soon in Covid. Do you think it will affect the market this time? Let us know in the comments section of the marketfeed app!

Markets Crash after Fresh War News. Reliance Gives Breakout – Post Market Report

Today’s Market Summarised

Markets crash sharply after Russia launches airstrikes across eastern Ukraine overnight.

NIFTY opened at 17,259 with a gap-up and moved down slowly. It took support at 17,150 and bounced back up to the day-high by 2 PM. Around this time, news started coming out from Ukraine and a fall of more than 430 points was seen. NIFTY ended the day at 16,958, down by 215 points or 1.25%.

BANK NIFTY opened at 36,834, with a slight gap-up. Eventually, the index broke the day-high and even briefly crossed the 37,000 resistance. News from Russia pulled the index 1200 points down from the day-high. BANK NIFTY ended the day at 36,341, down by 387 pts or 1.05%.

All sectoral indices closed the day in the red. NIFTY IT, NIFTY FMCG and NIFTY Realty fell the most.

Asian markets closed mixed in the day. European markets also fell along with our markets after the Russian news and are trading in the red.

News Picks

Coal India (+4.3%) gave a breakout once again and closed among the top-gainers in NIFTY 50 again. Energy stocks Reliance (+3.8%), Hindustan Petro (+3.4%), GAIL (+1.2%), IOC (+1.7%) and BPCL (+1.1%) were among the other gainers.

ICICI Bank (+1.1%) and SBI (+0.45%) were among the biggest gainers from Bank Nifty before the afternoon fall.

AU Small Finance Bank (+2.9%) was up by 5% in the morning after news of a bonus issue with results on April 26.

HDFC group stocks – HDFC (-5.4%), HDFC Life (-4.8%) and HDFC Bank (-3.8%) once again crashed in the day. 

SBI Life (-4.1%) gave away yesterday’s gains and fell.

Infosys (-3.6%) and TechM (-3.2%) once again featured in the top-losers list.

Jubilant Food traded lower after the stock price got adjusted for a 1:5 split.

Both Mindtree (-8.1%) and LTI (-6.8%) fell after the CEO of Mindtree said the merger news of the companies is purely speculative.

NLC India (+4.3%) moved up after news of Tamil Nadu Govt buying an additional 6000 MW of power from the company.

Apollo Hospitals (+5.7%) moved up after a big fall yesterday.

Markets Ahead

NIFTY has now fallen for the 5th consecutive day with the HDFC twins and Infosys. Just like we expected yesterday, these 3 heavyweights continued their weakness and Reliance bounced back.

The one ‘edge case’ or surprising factor that happened today was the fresh news from Ukraine. The panic caused markets to crash from their day highs. Till then it looked like Reliance was able to keep NIFTY up despite the other heavyweights falling.

If we look at the European markets and the U.S. Futures charts currently, we can see that they are bouncing back up now. If they manage to recover more, we might see a gap-up in the Indian markets tomorrow.

Infosys Crash Pulls Down the Market. Coal Shortage Hits the Country – Post Market Report

Today’s Market Summarised

Markets close in red after a long weekend with Infosys crashing down.

NIFTY opened at 17,187, with a big gap-down and tried moving up. But just after noon, the index fell down to near the 17,000 zones. Even with a recovery, the index could not move up. NIFTY ended the day at 17,173, down by 302 pts or 1.73%.

BANK NIFTY opened at 36,851, down by more than 600 points. The index could not break the 37k mark and soon fell by more than 500 points. The index bounced back towards the closing, and BANK NIFTY ended the day at 36,729, down by 734 pts or 1.96%.

NIFTY IT (-4.5%), NIFTY PSU Bank (-2.5%) and NIFTY Finserv (-2.2%) fell the most today. NIFTY FMCG (+0.60%) once again closed in the green.

Asian markets mostly closed in the red. European markets were closed in the day for Easter.

News Picks

NTPC (+6%) continued to shoot up after positive brokerage reports on the company. It closed as the top-gainer in NIFTY.

Life insurance companies – SBI Life (+2.3%), HDFC Life (+1.6%) moved up as LIC IPO gained steam again.

Infosys (-7.2%) crashed and opened with a gap-down after reporting Q4 numbers. Similarly, HDFC (-4.8%) and HDFC Bank (-4.7%) also fell after poor results.

Other IT companies TechM (-4.6%), Wipro (-3.6%), TCS (-3.6%) and HCL Tech (-2%) closed in the top-losers of NIFTY 50.

Tata Power (-5.5%) fell after announcing the sale of a 10% stake in its renewable business. Meanwhile, Torrent Power (+4.1%), NTPC (+6%) and Coal India (+1.5%) moved up from the power sector.

This happened as the All India Power Engineers’ Federation said there is only eight days of coal left in thermal power stations in 12 states.

Markets Ahead

NIFTY fell overwhelmingly with the fall of Infosys today. The stock fell because of its poor Q4 results. Other IT companies also fell because of a domino effect.

Global markets also gave cues to NIFTY with Nikkei being 2% down when we opened. European markets were closed today, but the U.S. market will give some indication for tonight.

Infosys falling is a concern but similarly important is the fall of the HDFC twins. HDFC has now fallen 23% from April 4th’s high. You can observe a similar fall in HDFC Bank, as well.

With the worst day in six weeks for NIFTY, we might see some continuation as 3 heavyweights look weak. Reliance will need to bounce back from the 2500-zone in order to keep the markets stable for now.

How was your 4-day weekend from the market? Were you taken by surprise by the fall in Infosys? Let us know in the comments section of the marketfeed app!

Markets Move Down for Weekly Expiry. 4-Day Weekend Ahead – Post Market Report

Today’s Market Summarised

NIFTY opened at 17,600, up by 69 pts or 0.40%. The index tried to move up in the first fifteen minutes, but failed to break the 17,650 level and then moved down 200 pts to touch the day low at 17,457. After that, it was kind of consolidation in the 17,460-520 range. NIFTY ended the day at 17,475, down by 54 pts or 0.31%.

BANK NIFTY opened at 37,887, up by 139 pts or 0.37%. The index tested the resistance zone above 37,900 in the first candle, but the region said “No, better luck next time”. It fell nearly 1.5% from the day high following a trendline. BANK NIFTY ended the day at 37,463, down by 284 pts or 0.75%.

NIFTY AUTO (-0.84%), NIFTY FINSERV (-0.87%), NIFTY MEDIA (-0.77%) and NIFTY REALTY (-0.54%) closed with significant loses. NIFTY FMCG (+0.69%) made a amazing U-shape recovery.

Yesterday Japan fell 1.8% and China moved 1.4% up. Interestingly, today Japan gained 1.9% and China fell 0.82%. European markets are currently trading  flat to 0.7% red.

News Picks

Nifty 50 top losers list is filled with major stocks from most of the sectoral indices. Maruti (-1.9%), Tata Motors (-1.6%), Eicher Motors (-1.2%), HDFC (-1.9%), HDFC Bank (-1.9%), Kotak Bank (-1.2%) Dr Reddy (-1.6%), and Bajaj Finserv (-1.4%) closed more than 1% down.

Markets Ahead

Nifty is continuing its weakness and today Bank Nifty also supported the down move. But Nifty taking support around 17,450 and Bank Nifty continuing in the consolidation zone is a great relief. 

Nifty couldn’t sustain the gap up opening majorly due to negative global cues. And it was also expected to see selling since the market will be closed for the next four days. 

It was overall a downtrend day for the weekly expiry, but volatility was seen in indices and major midcaps.

Satellite Imagery taken by Maxar Technologies from April 11 revealed that Russian forces continue moving into Eastern Ukraine. This brought the concerns of the Russia-Ukraine war again. Ukraine said that no humanitarian corridors on Wednesday as the situation is’ too dangerous’.

However, the next four day-holiday is a good opportunity for stock market participants to free up their minds, take some rest, and spend time with dear ones. What are your plans? We would like to know more and see you all today at 7 PM on The Stock Market Show.

Today we were watching Bank Nifty closely because it was slowly cutting the losses while others moved down. Bank Nifty is still in the consolidation zone with 37,900 acting as a good resistance for many days. 

More than 1% sudden recovery in France and Germany was the major triggering factor for today’s afternoon movement in the market.

Rising inflation & risk of a policy rate hike are affecting the market adversely. Reports say that German banks- Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank fell after an undisclosed investor sold stakes of more than 5%.

BANK NIFTY opened at 37,500 and kept playing around that zone. It created a day-high near the 38k mark around noon but failed to continue the rally. A similarly fast fall was seen followed by consolidation in the index. BANK NIFTY ended the day at 37,557, down by 75 pts or 0.20%.

NIFTY IT also declined for the second day in a row following the U.S. tech stocks fall. Metal index broke a 4-day winning streak. 

Reliance, HDFC and HDFC Bank need to stabilise for the market to show strength again.

The market seems to have regained its composure. BANK NIFTY continuously respected the 36,500 support in the afternoon. If global markets help, we can see our markets start to recover and retake the 18,000 zone again.
