Daily Market Review
Market Status: Rally Attempt
The Nifty ended in the red for the eighth session in a row. Benchmark indices were looking strong till the first half but a sharp correction in the second half eroded the day’s gains. The Nifty and the Sensex ended 0.3% and 0.4% lower, respectively. However, the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap outperformed benchmark indices and managed to end +0.4% and +0.3%, respectively.
On sectoral front, Nifty IT (-2.1%) was the top loser, which was weak since the market opening. However all other sectors barring Nifty FMCG (-0.3%) ended in the green. Nifty PSU (+1.3%) was the top gainer.
The market status remained unchanged. With the Nifty breaching its key support levels, we will downgrade the market to a Downtrend if it breaches the 10,583.60 level (low of Day 1 of the attempted rally). Today, it managed to end above that level; however, it hovered just above that level toward the end.
The advance-decline ratio was in favor of gainers. Of the 2,063 stocks traded on the NSE, 992 advanced, 705 declined, and 366 remained unchanged.
