Weekly Market Review:
Indian Market witnessed some heavy distribution this week, as the Nifty and the Sensex are trading 3% below their all-time high. The Nifty has breached its 50-DMA, and it is trading marginally above its key support level of 10,120. The sell-off in the market could be attributed to Korean tensions, F&O expiry, and the September Quarter GDP data, which was announced yesterday.
The Nifty started the week at 10,361.05 and traded in the range of 10,108.55-10,409.55 to end at 10,121.80, down 2.58% from last week’s close. The BSE Sensex also ended the week with a loss of 2.51%, to settle at 32,832.94. The index was in the range of 32,797.78-33,770.15.
Broader Indices also sold off this week; the Nifty Midcap indices lost 1.46%, while the Smallcap gave fell 0.77% in this volatility-laden week.
The MarketSmith IND 47 Index, which lists the top 47 stocks in chart and fundamental characteristics, outperformed the benchmark indices and gained 0.73% this week.
Barring Nifty Realty (+0.42%), all sectors ended in red this week, the top losers were Nifty PSU Bank (-6%), Metal (-3.93%), and Energy (-3.27%).
This week both the indices added two distribution day each; thus, taking the count to four on both the indices. The Indian market remains in Confirmed uptrend.
The macroeconomic data, announced yesterday, reported the September Quarter GDP at 6.3%; while the fiscal deficit increased to 96% of the budgeted target, for the fiscal year ending March 2018.
