NEW DELHI: After crossing the 16,000 mark, Nifty ended Tuesday’s session 24.5 points lower at 15,810. Sensex fell 100 points to end the day at 53,134. Metal and pharma indices were the only two sectoral gainers.
Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:
Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities, said the short-term trend of the Nifty seems to have reversed down from the highs and the current chart pattern indicates the possibility of further weakness in the short term. One may expect Nifty to slide down to 15,600-15,500 levels again in the near term, he said.
Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking, said on the index front, the Nifty should hold decisively above 15,900 to inch towards 16,200, while a decline below 15,600 would again put the bears back in the game.
That said, here’s a look at what some key indicators are suggesting for Wednesday’s action:
Wall Street falls as recession fears mount
Wall Street’s main indexes fell on Tuesday, with investors fretting about the possibility of a recession as central banks across the world take aggressive actions to stem a surge in inflation.
U.S. stocks have been under relentless selling pressure this year, with the benchmark S&P 500 index recording its steepest first-half percentage drop since 1970, as the Federal Reserve moves away from easy-money policy by raising borrowing costs.
At 09:45 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 604.88 points, or 1.95%, at 30,492.38, the S&P 500 was down 75.15 points, or 1.96%, at 3,750.18 and the Nasdaq Composite was down 201.56 points, or 1.81%, at 10,926.29.
European markets close 2% lower
European stocks closed sharply lower on Tuesday, as global markets failed to cement gains after a bruising week for stocks last week. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 1.94% and MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 1.83% but was still managing to stay above its June 17 trough, which had been its lowest level since November 2020.
