Stock Market Today: The benchmark Nifty50 index cracked 1.05% on Tuesday after consolidating for a few days amidst mixed global cues. Bank Nifty at 54,877.35 also ended close to 1% lower and most other sectors led by pharma auto and FMCG ended in losses. The small and the mid caps in the broader markets saw a correction of up to 1.4%.
Trade Setup for Wednesday
As long as the Nifty-50 index is trading below 24850 the correction wave is likely to continue and market could retest the level of 24550-24500 zone. On the higher side above 24850 the sentiment could change and Nifty has chances of hitting 25000-25100/ levels as per Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
As long as Bank Nifty remains below 55,290, further weakness is likely, with strong support is seen near 54,460, as per Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd.
Global Markets and Q4 Results
With the lack of major positive triggers and prevailing uncertainty over U.S. fiscal stability, investors opted for profit-booking and adopted a cautious stance. Selling pressure was widespread as participants awaited more clarity on the India-U.S. trade agreement. Given the current premium valuations and delays in the trade deal, we foresee a phase of short-term consolidation, which may lead FIIs to scale back their positions in the domestic market, as per Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited.
