Stock Market Trend : 22 August 2022

Dear Trader…

Indian equity benchmarks ended over a percent lower on Friday, dragged by heavy selling pressure in Realty and Metal stocks on profit-taking and weak global market trends.  After making slightly positive start, key gauges traded on flat note as traders got anxious with an analysis of industrial output and merchandise exports by India Ratings and Research suggested that the Indian manufacturing sector, which received a fillip in FY22 due to export growth, is likely to be hit by a slump in foreign trade activity in FY23.

Sentiments remained down-beat in late afternoon deals, as Reserve Bank of India turned net seller of the US currency in June after it sold $3.719 billion on a net basis. In the reporting month, the central bank purchased $18.96 billion from the spot market and sold $22.679 billion. Some concerns also came with the finance ministry stating that exemptions specified in Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with regard to country of origin will prevail in case of conflict between revenue department and importer.

Nifty futures opened at 17980.00 points against the previous close of 17980.35 and opened at a low of 17712.60 points. Nifty Future closed with an average movement of 277.35 points and a decline of around 248.75 points and 17731.60 points…!!

On the NSE, the midcap 100 index will decline 1.45% and smallcap 100 index is closing decline 1.21%. Speaking of various sectoral indices, the NSE saw gains in only IT stocks, while all other sectoral indices closed lower.

Meanwhile, India Ratings and Research in a report on analysis of industrial output and merchandise exports has stated that the Indian manufacturing sector, which received a fillip in FY22 due to export growth, is likely to be hit by a slump in foreign trade activity in FY23. The report suggested that the ‘exuberance’ witnessed in merchandise exports in FY22 helped the manufacturing segments. It added that ‘surge in merchandise exports helped the manufacturing sector in FY22, but was not broad-based and may not sustain in FY23’.

It further said the exports trend of FY22 may not sustain in FY23 due to the adverse impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, leading to recessionary concerns in the advanced economies, stringent COVID-19 control measures in China impacting production in various sub-sectors in India, and continued disruptions in global supply chain/trading sanctions imposed on Russia.

The report said India’s average annual merchandise exports during FY16-FY20 were $297.02 billion, having peaked at $330.08 billion in FY19. The same jumped to the highest-ever $421.89 billion in FY22. It said ‘since the pickup in merchandise exports has primarily been driven by the higher exports of manufactured goods, its spillover effect was expected to be visible in the higher capacity utilisation and an improvement in the industrial growth numbers in FY22’.

Technically, the important key resistances are placed in Nifty future are at 17808 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 17939 – 18008 levels. Immediate support is placed at 17606 – 17474 levels.
