SpiceJet has 13 Boeing Max aircraft in its fleet.
V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services:
Markets appear tantalizingly poised with the possibility of a swing in September. This can be on the downside if the trigger comes from a hawkish Fed speak from the Jackson Hole symposium. Covid cases rising, though slowly, too can turn out to be a dampener. The elephant in the room is the sustained FII selling which touched Rs 1974 crore in the cash market yesterday. It would be difficult for retail and DIIs to absorb the selling from FIIs, which might aggravate if the message from the Fed chief tonight is hawkish. Risk-reward appear to be not on the side of bulls.
The Nifty is held up by sector rotation. In recent days FMCG has emerged as a pillar of support to Nifty with HUL, Nestle, Britannia and Tata Consumer emerging strong. While this sector rotation is keeping the Nifty strong, the pain in the broader market continues with mid-and small-caps bleeding this month. This removal of froth is desirable and will make the broader market healthy.
It would be good to lighten positions ahead of the Fed message. Investors may remain invested in large-cap IT which is the strongest pillar of this market, the top names in FMCG, high-quality financials, pharma, chemicals and construction-related segments. Extreme care should be exercised in committing additional money at this stage in this richly valued market.
