Closing Bell: Market erases losses to end marginally lower; FMCG, realty gain, oil & gas drag – Moneycontrol

July 01, 2022 / 03:50 PM IST

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

Unfavorable cues from the domestic market led to a weak start due to weakness in the rupee and selling in oil refineries as the government imposed an additional export duty on petrol and diesel. 

Adding to the weakness, India’s factory output growth slowed down during June, as high inflation continued to dampen demand. However, the FMCG sector witnessed strong buying supported by declining commodity prices on the belief that the prices have peaked out.

S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP securities:

As the street sets about pricing in the impact of the windfall gain tax on the Oil & Gas sector, benchmark indices displayed high volatility today primarily led by the Energy sector. 

The manner in which bulls responded with the help of FMCG stocks led by ITC in afternoon trade left bears completely surprised as it helped indices stage a breathtaking recovering by erasing all the days losses.
