Markets remained under pressure due to a sharp surge in the Japanese Yen with Nifty surrendering below key support of 18130 as trading volumes contracted further. With Dow Jones in JPY terms closing below the key support line, the risk of a larger sell-off is not ruled out in the coming days and this comes at a time when Brent Crude is about to trigger a major breakout above USD 86 a bbl. We...
Markets reacted positively on Wednesday after the Bank of Japan decided to keep its yield curve control policy unchanged which forced a sudden spike in USDJPY to 131.5. However, the effect was later neutralized with prices closing below 129 in late night hours of trade. Such wild swings have activated a major breakdown in Dow Jones Index in JPY terms which were trading near the borderline and...
Markets held on to crucial support of 59952 in Sensex and managed to post gains of 1% in Nifty 50 while broader indices like Midcap and Small cap segment ended with marginal lower. Commodities are gaining strength day by day with Brent Crude back above USD 86 a bbl which could be positioned to cross USD 100 a bbl in a quick span of time. Hence at the current juncture when central banks are...
Markets ended lower on Monday after an initial attempt to sustain above 18000 levels in Nifty met with failure led by weakness in Banking stocks. The continuous selling from FII of more than Rs 23000 crores in cash plus the F&O segment is sending nervous signals for the market and a close below 59952 in Sensex could trigger basket selling for a broader market. At the current juncture,...
Markets ended on a flat note on Wednesday despite selling pressure in the early hours of trade and gains in Bank Nifty helped key indices to trim their losses. The non-institutional volume continues to edge lower below Rs 19000 crores as liquidity from retail participants dries up. The FII selling has intensified in the past few days and DIIs are only putting up a fight to absorb their...
Markets ended sharply lower on the back of renewed selling in service sector-related stocks with Bank Nifty feeling the major brunt and closing below the key support of 42339. The main factor which may trigger a large-scale meltdown is diminishing support from non-institutional participants which even in yesterday’s trading remained around Rs 20000 crores. For Sensex, the major level is...
Markets rebounded sharply on Monday on the back of gains from the technology index with Nifty ending higher by 1.4% but failed to close above the monthly resistance line of 18130. The rally was led mainly on the back of short covering by FIIs in the derivatives segment as there was an expectation that Fed would tone down its hawkish stance on rate hikes in a meeting to be held in Stockholm...
Markets last week ended with losses of around 1.5% but violated key support of 59754 in Sensex which turned out to be the lower shadow of the ‘Bearish Engulfing Line’ on a monthly basis. Such price action along with a sharp drop in retail volume towards Rs 25000 cr and sustained closing below 50 DMA are indications of an upcoming severe downtrend in the Indian markets. The FII selling...
Markets remained under pressure on Thursday but managed to recoup part of losses to settle around 18000 levels. The non-institutional turnover has shrunk to a 6-month low yesterday to Rs 24000 crores which signifies that the defenses of the Indian stock market may soon be broken. The larger setup points towards a 20% decline in the near term and ideally the turnover should further...
