Expert Take:
“The equity market traded lower again mainly on account of the overarching influence of negative factors and news from overseas. Some of the recent macro numbers show the US economy still staying in relatively good health, but the news from China and Japan are not encouraging due to the larger number of covid cases reported from several countries , and the impact of the same on global growth and economic activity in the coming months. This factor may be on the mind of the markets, as to how severe the wave of infections would be and how it will be countered. Stocks across market caps and throughout all sectors traded lower with metals, auto and PSU banks suffering the worst fall. Since countries like India and those in Europe have a much better level of preparedness, the impact may not be too hard this time around, and activity could remain closer to normal.” — Joseph Thomas, Head of Research, Emkay Wealth Management
“The Nifty opened gap up near its key hourly moving averages only to attract fresh round of selling. As the day progressed, the index breached the lower end of a downward sloping channel. On the downside, it has tested a rising trendline drawn from the June 2022 low & closed above it. Thus the index is trading near a very crucial support of 18000. Till that level holds on a closing basis there is scope for some recovery. However breach of 18000 on a closing basis will intensify the selling pressure. On the other hand, near term resistance zone shifts lower to 18200-18300.” — Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas
