13:46 (IST) 16 Sep 2022 Indian equities may continue to outperform but can’t remain in isolation for a long time

“Indian equity markets are witnessing some selling pressure after a long period of resilience. Global cues continuously remain weak as there is a sharp surge in the dollar index and US bond yields post US inflation numbers. We may continue to outperform but we can’t remain in isolation for a long time. Global markets are looking nervous ahead of the FOMC meeting because there is talk of a 100 basis rate hike while a 75 basis rate hike was already discounted. Technically, Nifty is facing resistance at the 18100 level and it has slipped below its 20-DMA of 17700 which may lead to some more selling pressure where 17470-17400 is an immediate demand zone then 17150 is a sacrosanct support level. Banknifty is outperforming but yesterday, it ends at a day’s low after hitting a fresh all-time high which is a little disappointing. On the downside, 40900-40700 is an immediate demand zone; below this, 40270 is the next important support level.”

13:44 (IST) 16 Sep 2022 What’s dragging markets today?

“Global markets especially US and Europe are extremely bearish due to rising inflation where the US is factoring in another 100 basis points rate hike has led to a bearish sentiment in both Nifty and Sensex. Technically, Nifty now has support at 17480. A daily close below this level could lead to 17170 in the coming sessions. Major resistance is now at 17745.”

09:10 (IST) 16 Sep 2022 Nifty key resistance at 18000

“Indian markets settled in negative territory for the second successive day on Thursday due to weak Asian cues. Today, the markets are likely to make negative start tracking weakness in global peers. Some pessimism may come as the World Bank said the world may be edging toward a global recession as central banks across the world simultaneously hike interest rates to combat persistent inflation. There will be some cautiousness as Global Rating agency Moody’s said India’s rated infrastructure firms can largely withstand further depreciation in the value of rupee against US dollar due to financial hedges and other mitigants. On the technical front, the key resistance level for Nifty50 is 18,000  and on the downside 17,650 can act as strong support. Key resistance and support levels for Bank Nifty are 41,700 and 40,800 respectively.”

09:08 (IST) 16 Sep 2022 Bank Nifty continues to be strong

“The market has started showing some indications of fatigue. Globally, the major concern now is that the Fed might oversteer the economy and end up raising rates too much too fast, pushing the US economy into a sharp recession. There are talks of the terminal Fed rate rising to 4.25 percent. Sharply rising rates, rising bond yields and rising dollar are negatives for equity.”

“In this challenging environment, it would be difficult for India to sustain the decoupling from the global trend which has been a recent pattern in India. Moreover, FIIs have halted their sustained buying and have turned sellers, though this is not yet a trend. Investors may adopt a wait and watch attitude till the Fed meeting is over on 21st September. Bank Nifty continues to be strong.”

09:07 (IST) 16 Sep 2022 Nifty’s recent bullish fairy tales ends below 17701

“Equity markets are likely to extend losses in early trades Friday, mirroring the weakness in global indices as investors are gearing up for a stronger interest rate hike by the US Fed following the recently announced higher-than-expected inflation numbers. The street now widely believes that the Fed will raise rates by 75 bps in its September 21st meet, followed by a 75 bps hike in November, and mostly deliver a further 50 bps in December. Whenever the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates – emerging markets like India turn volatile as capital tends to flee to safer shores as yields rise elsewhere. Also, the negativity can be also attributed to yesterday’s provisional data which indicates that FIIs were net sellers worth Rs 1270 crores, while domestic institutional investors too were net sellers of shares worth Rs 929 crore. Technically speaking, Nifty’s recent bullish fairy tales ends below 17701 mark, while the index faces the biggest hurdle at 18115.”
