Dear Trader
Markets
remained volatile for yet another session and lost nearly half a percent. After
the gap-down start, Nifty further drifted lower in the first half however
recovery in select heavyweights trimmed the losses as the day progressed. Meanwhile, most sectors continued with a
negative tone wherein realty, pharma and financials were among the top losers.
The broader indices too felt the heat and lost over a percent each.
We
may see some respite in the index after the recent slide but the upside seems
capped citing feeble global cues. On the other hand, the broader indices are
now showing early signs of exhaustion, which may prompt fresh fall in the
midcap and smallcap space. We thus recommend focusing more on trade management
and maintaining positions on both sides.
Strong
US job data is reinforcing Fed’s hawkish stance and multi-year high US bond
yields is signalling an impending interest rate hike. Globally, investors are
adopting risk-averse strategies due to inflation concerns and the strengthening
US dollar. And in India, despite a robust economy, premium valuations of
midcaps and recent rally is augmenting consolidation.
Interest-rate-sensitive
sectors like real estate, banking, and metals are the most impacted category,
while the FMCG sector is more optimistic in expectation of near-normal monsoon
& festival demand. Auto is consolidating amid mixed growth numbers and in
this weak period, large-cap are a trading safe to hold on.
