GIFT Nifty traded flat at 19,621 up merely 0.07%, during Wednesday’s early trading session, indicating a flat opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex. The benchmark domestic indices ended Tuesday’s trading session in negative territory. The NSE Nifty 50 slipped 9.85 points to 19,664.70, while the BSE Sensex fell 0.12% to 65,945.47.

“Markets are likely to remain under pressure amid a sharp surge seen in U.S. 10-year treasury yields to 16-year highs of 4.5%. Also mounting concerns over China’s real estate sector, and FIIs offloading in domestic equities dampened the sentiments. However, momentum is seen in Auto and defensive sectors like FMCG. Auto sector is expected to remain in focus going ahead as OEMs are likely to increase output by 25% amid a build-up in orders ahead of the festive season,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

On the other hand, below 19,620 the market could slip till 19,550 – 19,520.”

Bank Nifty Outlook

The Bank Nifty index shed as many as 141.90 points to 44,624.20. “Considering the oversold nature of the Bank Nifty we are expecting a pullback over the next few trading sessions. On the upside the pullback is likely towards 45,000 – 45,200. On the hourly charts the momentum indicator has a positive crossover which is a buy signal and the positive divergence suggest that the momentum on the downside is weakening,” said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
