Nifty snaps two-day winning streak

17 Aug 2023 Evaluate

Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended Thursday's trading session on a lower note with over half a percent cut dragged by losses in Reliance industries, HDFC bank and ITC stocks. Index made a slightly negative start, as market participants were cautious after Crisil Market Intelligence and Analytics in its note has said that urban poor have been the most impacted by 15-month high consumer price inflation (CPI) in July. The high-income segment in urban areas faced the lowest inflation burden, as food has a relatively low share in their consumption basked. It noted that poorest segment in urban areas faced highest inflation rate in July. Traders overlooked Fitch Ratings’ statement that the operating environment for Indian banks has strengthened as economic risks associated with the Covid-19 pandemic have ebbed. It said India was badly affected by the pandemic, but the associated risks have now receded. The easing of pandemic-related risks has been accompanied by a strengthening of capital buffers. In afternoon session, index slipped in deep red and remained lower till the end. Sentiments remained weak as the U.S. Federal Reserve’s July minutes showed inflation concerns lingered, which could lead to more rate hikes. Investors took a note of a private report stating that India will take a medium-term view to intensify efforts to ease inflation pressures and avoid any knee-jerk reaction to transitory price increases. Finally, index ended near day's low point and settled below 19400 mark.

Traders were seen piling up positions in Consumer Durables, PSU Bank and Realty stocks, while selling was witnessed in FMCG, Oil & Gas and IT. The top gainers from the F&O segment were REC, Bata India and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone. On the other hand, the top losers were India Cements, J K Cement and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 19400 - 19600 calls and 19600 - 19800 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
