Stock Market Trend : 17 August 2023

Dear Trader…

Domestic equity had a weak opening but saw a smart recovery towards the end amid a drop in UK inflation and short covering ahead of the FOMC meeting minutes release along with US IIP data. Nifty Future opened lower but gradually climbed up to close marginally positive with gains of 6 points at 19484 levels. Action was seen in the Nifty smallcap, which was up 0.58%. Sectorially it was a mixed bag with buying seen in Realty, Pharma, IT, and Auto.

The market has been witnessing pressure on account of weak global cues especially because of the faltering of the Chinese economy and Fitch’s warning to downgrade US midsized banks. Even on the domestic front sharp surge in inflation data and weak monsoon progress in the month of August’23 seems to have dented the investor’s sentiments. We expect this weakness to persist in the market in the near term in the absence of any positive trigger.

Nifty futures opened at 19400.40 points against the previous close of 19478.35 and opened at a low of 19352.55 points. Nifty Future closed with an average movement of 152.85 points and a rise of around 6.20 points and 19484.55 points…!!

On the NSE, the midcap 100 index will rise 0.08% and small cap 100 index is closing rise 0.57%. Speaking of various sectoral indices only Metal, PVT Bank, Consumer Durables, Financial Services and Bank stocks were seen selling on the NSE, while all other sectoral indices closed higher.

At the start of intra-day trading, October gold opened at Rs.58831, fell from a high of Rs.58886 points to a low of Rs.58801 with a decline of 168 points, a trend of around Rs.58806 and September Silver opened at Rs.69977, fell from a high of Rs.70385 points to a low of Rs.69833, with a rise of 35 points, a trend of around Rs.69989.

Meanwhile, India approved plans on Wednesday to deploy 10,000 electric buses in 169 cities, along with charging and associated infrastructure facilities, at an estimated cost of nearly 580 billion rupees ($7 billion) for a decade. The federal government will fund 200 billion rupees ($2.4 billion) of the cost of the scheme, based on a public-private partnership model, but it was not immediately clear if funds for the rest would come from state governments or private companies.

Shares of companies that investors expect to benefit from the plan rose after the news. Electric bus makers Olectra Greentech and JBM Auto closed up 8.8% and 10.1% respectively. Tata Motors finished up 1.9%, while Ashok Leyland, which has a unit making electric buses, jumped 2.5% before settling up 0.9%.

Pursuing plans for a fleet of 50,000 electric buses nationwide in the next few years, at an estimated cost of $12 billion, the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been aggregating demand from state governments and issuing contracts or tenders inviting bids from companies. The cabinet also approved seven railway tracking projects worth 325 billion rupees ($3.9 billion) to boost connectivity and mobility across nine states.

Technically, the important key resistances are placed in Nifty future are at 19484 levels, which could offer for the market on the higher side. Sustainability above this zone would signal opens the door for a directional up move with immediate resistances seen at 19505 – 19533 levels. Immediate support is placed at 19404 – 19373 levels.
