    Markets drifted lower and lost over one and a half percent, taking a breather after the recent surge.
    Participants were in the profit-taking mood from the beginning, citing overbought markets and a cautious approach ahead of derivatives expiry.

    Consequently, the Nifty index ended near day’s low at 12,858 levels, down by 1.5 percent. In line with the benchmark, the broader indices too witnessed a decline wherein Midcap lost 1.8 percent and Smallcap ended with a cut of 1.1 percent. Among the sectoral indices, Banks, Auto and Healthcare were the top losers.

    It’s normal to see an intermediate dip in a trend and we may see further profit-taking ahead.

    Besides, volatility is also likely to remain high due to scheduled derivatives expiry. Nifty has the next crucial support at 12,700. Considering the scenario, we suggest limiting naked leveraged trades and preferring hedged positions.

    Markets are currently witnessing a macro shift of assets into equities globally, and furthermore, EM equities over DM, as prospects of a macro recovery in APAC and potential growth upsides driven by vaccine availability have taken root.

    The second wave spread of COVID-19 in EU & US is leading to low expectations of economic activity in the last quarter of CY20 among DMs.

    Since Nifty is already at lifetime highs, we expect market strength to become more broad-based now, with under-owned sectors like metals and PSUs catching up on performance, and mid-caps outperforming large-caps in the short-term.

    A broader opening up of the economy will be set-off against continued lower levels of formal employment and hence, consumer staples can be expected to post muted levels of volume growth, while financials also appear fairly weighted at current levels.

    OMCs and plays for a revival in the CV demand cycle would benefit in the coming quarter. As of now, the market is pricing in a robust recovery, while discounting a smooth roll-out of the government's vaccination drive - hence, the risks of disappointment on both these fronts pose the major risk of stalling market momentum.

    The market rally which was led by developments on vaccine and FII inflows came to a halt today due to profit-booking across sectors in the second half of the trading session.

    We can expect profit-booking to continue in our domestic market, in the short-term, as the liquidity-driven rally can take a pause having reached an all-time high on a monthly basis.

    FII inflow was triggered by the overwhelming result of the US election unleashing high amounts of funds that were put on-hold. FIIs can take a breather and check for the next phase of policies in the US and Europe for 2021.
