Daily Market Review:
After rallying for almost 1000 points in three days, Sensex as well as the Nifty witnessed some sell off today. The market seems to have factored a BJP win in Gujrat election and lack of fresh positive trigger dragged down the key indices today.
The Nifty started the day flat and made a trended downwards today as it lost 0.80% to close at 10,240.15. It traded in the range of 10,230.20-10,326.10. The BSE Sensex also lost 0.68% or 227.80 points in today’s sombre trading session. After starting the day at 33,426.59 it traded in the range of 33,179.75-33,458.41 and ultimately ended the day at 33,227.99.
Broader indices erased all of the yesterday’s gain as Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices both lost 0.86% and 0.91% today.
The market breadth, which indicates the overall health of the market was also in favour of losers today. On the NSE, 476 stocks advanced and 1069 stocks declined. A total of 45 stocks remains unchanged.

In stock talk, JK Cement is planning to add up to 8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) capacity in the next five years taking the total capacity to around 18 MTPA for grey cements. The JK organisation group firm would also invest around INR 1,200-1,500 crore in brownfield expansion at its Mangrol facility in Rajasthan in the next 24-30 months.
Today both the Sensex and the Nifty lost one distribution day due to ageing, however since the Nifty observed a higher trading volume compared to yesterday it also attracted one distribution day today. Hence the distribution day count remains at five on the Nifty while four on the Sensex while the market status remains at ‘’Uptrend Under Pressure”.
