The benchmark indices ended the volatile week on a negative note. After rallying 7.7% from the July month’s low, Nifty snapped its two-week winning streak. Nifty failed to carry on the previous week’s momentum beyond 16,500 to finally end with losses of 0.5% and formed small bearish shooting star on weekly candlestick. The low of shooting star will be critical in coming days which stands at 16,376 and below this Nifty is likely to test levels of 15,300.
All three main stock indexes in the US rallied to end sharply higher a choppy week, led by a rebound in tech shares like Microsoft, Cisco and Salesforce. On the week however, all posted weekly losses as investors continue to digest the latest FOMC minutes that showed policymakers will likely start to reduce stimulus this year and worry over the rapid spread of the coronavirus Delta strain. Announcements from a host of Asian nations that they are implementing drastic measures to curb the resurgence of COVID19 due to the rise of the disease’s highly contagious Delta variant, put a damper on stocks associated with economic re-engagement.
