Live: Sensex, Nifty choppy as IT, FMCG stocks weigh; auto, metals shine | Closing Bell

The benchmark equity indices settled lower for the third consecutive session on September 23, however, the Sensex and Nifty trimmed most of their early losses, as buying in banking and auto shares lifted investor sentiment on the day of weekly derivatives expiry.

After oscillating between gains and losses during the day, the Sensex closed lower by 57.87 points or 0.07 percent at 82,102.10. During the day, it hit a high of 82,370.38 and a low of 81,776.53, fluctuating by 593.85 points. The Nifty dipped 32.85 points or 0.13 percent to 25,169.50.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/steel-large/jswsteel/JSW01">JSW Steel</a>, IndusInd Bank and Bajaj Finance led the recovery, rising up to 3 percent, while Trent and <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/cement-major/ultratechcement/UTC01">UltraTech Cement</a> were among the major laggards.

Three key factors aided the recovery

1) Hopes of further rate cuts: Global markets drew support from dovish remarks by US Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran, who said the Fed funds rate remains higher than warranted under the Taylor rule approach. He suggested the rate should be closer to 2–2.5 percent against the current 4–4.25 percent, even after last week’s cut. According to CME FedWatch, nearly 90 percent of traders are pricing in a 25-basis-point cut at the Fed’s October meeting, with a three-fourths probability of a deeper cut in December.

2) Positive global cues: Asian markets traded firm, with South Korea’s Kospi in the green, while US stock futures pointed to a higher opening on Wall Street. Firm trends in overseas markets generally improve risk appetite among domestic investors.

3) Buying in banking and auto stocks: The Nifty Auto index advanced nearly 1.5 percent on sustained demand for two- and four-wheelers, with gains led by Maruti Suzuki, Eicher Motors, Tata Motors, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Finance. Bank stocks also saw strong buying post-noon, helping drive the broader market recovery.

The equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty erased early losses to trade flat amid high volatility on the weekly expiry day on Tuesday.

Strong buying in auto and bank shares outweighed losses in IT and realty stocks.

At around 12:30 p.m., Sensex was down 59.85 points or 0.073 percent to 82,100.12, while the Nifty declined to 25,200.35, down 2 points or 0.0079 percent.

Among major movers, auto shares provided support with <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/auto-carsjeeps/marutisuzukiindia/MS24" target="_blank">Maruti Suzuki India</a>, Bajaj Finance and <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/auto-lcvshcvs/eichermotors/EM" target="_blank">Eicher Motors</a> rising up to 2 percent. UltraTech Cement and Trent were among the top laggards, falling up to 2 per cent.

Sectorally, Nifty FMCG, IT, pharma, realty and consumer durables indices were among the worst hit, while auto, metal and PSU bank counters advanced.

IT stocks, which earn a significant portion of revenue from the US, fell 0.5 percent after a 3 percent drop in the previous session following the American government’s decision to raise H-1B visa fees.

"There is a bearish tone in the markets after the new H-1B visa fees as the move is likely to disrupt the Indian IT outsourcing model," said Hariprasad K, research analyst and founder of Livelong Wealth. Indians accounted for 71 percent of approved H-1B beneficiaries last year.

In the broader market, the Nifty Midcap 100 index slipped 0.35 percent. Adani Total Gas, Bharat Dynamics, Mphasis, Bandhan Bank and Coforge gained up to 4 per cent. The Nifty Smallcap 100 index declined 0.5 percent, with Godfrey Phillips India, Five-Star Business Finance, Aditya Birla Real Estate, Reliance Power and IFCI losing up to 3 per cent.

"The resumption of the near-term uptrend will depend on whether the Nifty holds the 25,200–25,000 range," said Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. "Early moves may retain a positive bias if above 25,238, but it would require a rise above the 25,278–25,335 region to attract momentum. The ideal rest point for the ongoing down move appears to be 24,880–24,800," he added.

LIVE: Samir Arora on beating the market and backing new-age stocks

The equity benchmarks gave up early gains to trade lower on Tuesday as selling in index heavyweights, foreign fund outflows and concerns over higher US H-1B visa fees weighed on investor sentiment.

Sensex, which had risen 147.53 points to 82,307.50 in early trade, fell 354.15 points or 0.43 percent to 81,805.82 at around 11:20 a.m.

The broader Nifty climbed 48.5 points to 25,250.85 in opening deals but later traded at 25,088.85, down 113.50 points or 0.45 percent.

Key factors behind market decline

1) US visa concerns: IT stocks, which draw a large share of revenues from the US, fell 0.5 percent after a sharp 3 percent drop on Monday. The fall followed the US decision to increase H-1B visa fees, a move seen as impacting Indian IT outsourcing. "There is a bearish tone in the markets after the new H-1B visa fees as the move is likely to disrupt the Indian IT outsourcing model," Hariprasad K, research analyst and founder of Livelong Wealth, told Reuters.

3) FII outflows: Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 2,910.09 crore on Monday, adding to the downward pressure on domestic markets.

4) Rupee weakness: The rupee fell 25 paise to a record low of 88.53 against the US dollar in early trade. Traders said higher US tariffs on Indian goods and the H-1B visa fee hike dampened sentiment, while global risk aversion and trade policy uncertainty added to the pressure.

5) Volatility index: The India VIX, also known as the fear gauge, rose 2.11 percent to 10.78, indicating heightened volatility expectations.
