Domestic indices snapped their previous gains amid negative sentiments from their global counterparts. Weak US consumer data and hawkish comments from the Fed’s policymakers on Wednesday hammered investor risk appetite.

The uncertain global market environment coupled with a hawkish stance by the US Fed officials on interest rate hikes kept the mood gloomy throughout the trading session. Although inflation is showing signs of some moderation, concerns over a likely recession in the US and western economies is prompting investors to turn risk averse toward equities. 

Technically, after a promising pullback rally, the Nifty has formed a inside body candle formation which is indicating non directional activity. 

For traders, 18,050 would be the immediate support zone and below the same the index could slip till 17,950-17,900. On the flip side, above 18,050 the index could retest the level of 18,200.
