Bears remained at the helm throughout the day as the benchmark index couldn’t pare the morning loss. However, the correction was limited to 0.62% by the end of the session. Over the near term, sentiment is likely to remain sideways, with 18,500-18,800 to be the crucial range. A decisive breakout from either band may induce a clean directional move in the market.

Domestic equities witnessed some pressure amid weak global cues, mixed Nov. auto sales number and investor’s cautious approach ahead of release of US monthly jobs data. Nifty ended its eight-day streak after witnessing rally of 4%. The index finally close with loss of 116 points (-0.6%) at 18696 levels. Broader market however outperformed and were up +0.6%. Realty and Metals continued to see traction. Niche sectors likely defence, pipes and beverage companies were in flavour on back of news flows.After rallying 4%, market seems to have taken a pause and is likely to consolidate for next few days. However, overall trend remains positive with Nifty headed towards 19K zones. Next week, markets will take cues from RBI’s policy meeting and we expect them to tone down their stance given positive macro data and dovish commentary from Jerome Powell. Also investors would keenly watch for outcome of Gujarat state election that is due next week. Result in favour of BJP would add to continued momentum as it would mean stability and set the stage for 2024 election. Other key data lined up to release next week are OPEC meeting, US & India Service PMI, Europe Q3 GDP and US Jobless claim data.

The rally in the domestic market was halted by negative cues from global counterparts and broad-based profit booking in large caps. The correction in the market was led by auto stocks as the sales data came in lower than expected due to weaker exports and sequential de-stocking. Declining manufacturing activity in the US is proof that the central bank’s policy tightening has started to show results, which in turn will encourage the Fed to keep rate hikes at bay.
– Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services
With IT stocks supporting the Bulls well this week, today we witnessed price action across select themes in the Small & Midcap space. On a day when Auto stocks dragged indices down post the monthly numbers, the street focused attention in the broader markets to segments like Tyres, Pipes & Sugar buoyed by positive newsflow as many stocks were keenly sought after in these pockets.

Indecisiveness crept in on anticipated lines after reaching the 18,900 vicinity. The consequent consolidation is expected to spill over to today as well, during which time, it would be important not to stretch much beyond 18,715, in order to stick with the 19,400 trajectory. Expect upsides hopes to be diluted on pull back beyond 18,715, but a collapse is not expected unless below 18,470.

A major market positive that has helped equity markets globally during the last several days has been the steady decline in the dollar index and US bond yields. This trend continues. The dollar index is now below 105 and the US 10- year bond yield is around 3.43 %. Another important data is the declining manufacturing activity in the US in November. This negative economic news is paradoxically positive news from the market perspective since it indicates that the US economy is responding to the monetary tightening by the Fed. So, US inflation is likely to decline further enabling the Fed to slow down rate increases and perhaps pause in Q1 of 2023. This is market positive. Back home, even though there is momentum in our markets, valuations are at elevated levels. Scope for further PE expansion is limited. Therefore, the market is likely to consolidate around the present levels.
