Nifty, Sensex End At Lowest In Over A Month As Finance, Auto Stocks Drag: Closing Bell

Benchmark equity indices erased all their morning gains in the second half of the session to record their lowest closing in a month and a third consecutive session of fall.

The Nifty fell 63.05 points or 0.26% to end at 23992.55 and Sensex fell 166.33 points or 0.21% to end at 78593.07. Intraday, the Nifty had risen 1.36% and the Sensex had risen 1.39%.

"The near-term outlook for Nifty 50 turned bearish unless it gives a convincing move above 24,400 while on the downside, 50 day moving average support that is 23,880 will be considered as immediate support," said Aditya Gaggar, director of Progressive Shares.

Shares of HDFC Bank Ltd., State Bank Of India, Bharti Airtel Ltd., Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., and ICICI Bank dragged the Nifty.

While those of Reliance Industries Ltd., Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Hindustan Unilever Ltd., HCL Technologies Ltd., and JSW Steel Ltd cushioned the fall.

Most sectoral indices fell with Nifty PSU Bank being the top loser. Nifty Realty rose the most.

Market breadth was skewed in favour of sellers. Around 2,428 stocks declined, 1,487 stocks rose, and 106 stocks remained unchanged.

Broader markets underperformed benchmark indices. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices ended 0.71% and 0.57% lower, respectively.

Nifty, Sensex Gain Over 1% As Global Risk-Off Mood Abates: Midday Market Update

India's benchmark equity indices gained over 1% on Tuesday, after a decline of 3% in the previous session, as global risk-off sentiments abated after the Monday rout wiped out nearly Rs 5.5 lakh crore in Nifty 50 companies.

The NSE Nifty 50 gained 0.71% to trade at 24,2226.60, and the BSE Sensex rose 0.69% to trade at 79,303 as of 11:57 a.m. Intraday, Nifty rose as much as 1.36%, and Sensex gained 1.39% during the early trade. 

"The first leg of such a recovery move (in Nifty) should aim for 24,389, where a pause is likely, but a second leg of the recovery move could also be expected, which, however, needs a reclaiming of 24,540–24,570 for sustenance," said Anand James, chief market strategist of Geojit Financial Services.

"Domestic liquidity flows can facilitate a recovery in the markets. It appears that the US recession fears are a bit premature and overdone. Investors need not panic. Quality largecaps can be slowly accumulated," said VK Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist of Geojit Financial Services.

The rupee continues to depreciate against the dollar and touch new lows. The Indian unit weakened to a fresh low of 83.90 at 11:14 a.m.

Shares of Reliance Industries Ltd., Larsen and Tourbo Ltd., Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., Infosys Ltd. and Hindustan Unilever Ltd. contributed to gains in the Nifty. 

While those of Bharti Airtel Ltd., ICICI Bank Ltd., SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd. and HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd. weighed on the index. 

On NSE, 11 out of 12 sectors advanced. Nifty Finance was the sole index in the red, while Nifty Realty was the top performer.

Broader markets outperformed the benchmark with the BSE Smallcap and BSE Midcap rising 1.20% and 1.34%, respectively, as of 11:44 a.m.

On BSE, all 20 sectors advanced. BSE Services was the top performer, and the BSE Financial saw the least gains. 

Market breadth was skewed in the favour of buyers. Around 2,605 stocks advanced, 1,122 stocks declined, and 141 stocks remained unchanged on BSE.
