Stock Market Trend : 20 January 2024

Dear Trader…

Markets witnessed some respite after 3 days of decline and gained over half a percent. Firm global cues triggered a gap-up start in Nifty, followed by range bound movement till the end.  Meanwhile, a mixed trend on the sectoral front kept traders occupied wherein FMCG, metal and energy edged higher while banking continued to reel under pressure. The broader indices maintained their outperformance and gained over a percent each.

Nifty has reclaimed its short term moving average but lacks decisiveness. We reiterate our cautious view citing the prevailing underperformance of the banking and eyeing the 21,707-21,808 zone to act as a hurdle. Traders should continue stock-specific approach and prefer hedged trades.

Nifty futures opened at 21627.00 points against the previous close of 21527.45 and opened at a low of 21579.30 points. Nifty Future closed with an average movement of 128.70 points and a rise of around 147.55 points and 21675.00 points…!!

On the NSE, the midcap 100 index will rise 1.52% and small cap 100 index is closing rise 1.09%. Speaking of various sectoral indices only Media, Private Bank and Bank stocks were seen selling on the NSE, while all other sectoral indices closed higher.

Meanwhile, The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sold $1.93 billion, on a net basis, in the spot foreign exchange market in November, data released on Thursday as part of the central bank’s monthly bulletin showed. The RBI said it purchased nearly $35 billion and sold $36.9 billion. In October, the central bank had sold a net of $310 million in the spot market. The rupee depreciated by 0.2% against the dollar over November, during which it hit a lifetime low of 82.42.

The RBI’s net outstanding forward sales stood at $11.9 billion as of end-November, compared with net forward sales of $$14.6 billion at the end of the previous month, the data showed. The central bank intervenes in the spot and forwards market to curb exchange rate volatility of the rupee.
