Stock Market Outlook
The Indian stock market saw a sharp selling pressure for the second consecutive session with Nifty50 declining around 194 points. THe sharp selling pressure was the result of concerns around US tariffs and intensified foreign fund outflows over the past few trading sessions.
“This week, Nifty50 pared 646 points (-2.5%) as market sentiment was weighed down by reports of a proposed 500% tariff on countries buying oil from Russia, including India. Broader market underperformed the benchmarks, with Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 falling 0.8% and 1.8% respectively. Amongst sectors, Nifty Realty was the top loser, declining by 2.3%, followed by financial services index which lost 1.4%. In contrast, Nifty Oil and gas, IT and PSU bank indices ended in the green amid broad-based market weakness,” explained Bajaj Broking in its commentary.
The technical analysis of Nifty indicates further weakness in the benchmark index in the coming week. “Nifty is currently placed near its 21-week EMA, which may offer temporary support. Overall chart structure and candlestick patterns indicate further weakness.
Immediate support lies at 25500 and a break below could drag the index toward 25300. On the upside, resistance is placed at 25900, with sustained strength above this level opening room toward 26100. Sell on rise remains the preferred strategy,” explained Dr. Ravi Singh, Chief Research Officer from Master Capital Services Ltd.
