Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities         

Selling intensified after the RBI's monetary policy announcement in the first half with heavy selling in private banking scrips leading the slump. Banking industry has been facing liquidity issues in recent times and with the central bank's decision showing no signs of interest rate cut in the near term, investors slashed their positions in financial stocks. However, sharp gains in IT and oil & gas stocks helped markets pare losses, although underlying sentiment remains sluggish to negative.

February 08, 2024· 16:05 IST

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services:

Though FY25 GDP growth forecast has improved, the RBI remains vigilant on inflation & banking liquidity. The incomplete transmission of the cumulative 250 bps and the inflation ruling above the target level adds uncertainty about the timing of the interest rate reduction. The ripple effect was seen in the government 10yr yield, which inched higher. A large pocket of the market slid into red like FMCG, banks, and auto. FMCG got higher impacted by weak Q3 result and downgrade in volume growth, in the near-term, due to weak rural demand.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities

Nifty experienced a sharp decline as follow-up selling emerged following profit booking in the previous trading session. However, on the lower end, it found initial support at the 20DMA. The trend could weaken if it drops below 21,690, at which point the index may decline towards 21,500. On the contrary, if it remains above 21,700, we might observe a recovery in the near term.

February 08, 2024· 15:57 IST

Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas:

The Nifty opened on a positive note however as the day progressed the Nifty drifted lower and closed in the negative down ~212 points. On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has witnessed a sharp decline from the resistance zone 22000 – 22050. Despite multiple attempts the Nifty has been unable to surpass the resistance zone. On the downside the 20-day moving average (21694) has been providing support. The hourly momentum indicator has triggered a negative crossover while the daily is still in buy mode and thus providing divergent signals. This could lead to consolidation from short term perspective. Overall, we expect the consolidation to continue with negative bias. On the downside, the Nifty can drift towards 21500 – 21435 zone where support parameters in the form of 40-day average is placed.

Bank Nifty witnessed a sharp decline and closed deep in the red. The consolidation of the last three trading sessions has been breached on the downside. We expect the weakness to persist and expect the Bank Nifty to drift towards 44430 – 44000 from short term perspective. On the upside 45500 – 45600 shall act as an immediate hurdle.

February 08, 2024· 15:54 IST

Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking

Markets traded under pressure on the weekly expiry day and lost nearly a percent. After the flat start, Nifty slipped sharply lower in the first half however it tried to trim losses in the middle but sustained decline in the private banking majors continues to weigh on the sentiment. Most sectors traded in sync with the move wherein FMCG, banking and financials were among the worst hit. Amid all, the broader indices showed resilience and managed to end on a flat note.

The fresh decline in the private banking majors and select heavyweights like ITC has again pushed the Nifty to its crucial support zone of short term moving average i.e. 20 DEMA. And, a decisive close below 21,600 would again push the bulls on the back foot. We thus suggest hedging the existing longs and waiting for clarity.

February 08, 2024· 15:52 IST

Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities

The Bank Nifty index experienced a robust comeback by bears, encountering substantial selling pressure following the RBI policy announcement. The critical support zone of 45500 has been breached and is now expected to act as a resistance level. Pullbacks towards this mentioned resistance are considered opportune levels for selling. The subsequent support is positioned at 44400, and a break below this level is likely to intensify selling pressure, potentially leading the index towards the 44000 mark.

February 08, 2024· 15:43 IST

Aditya Gaggar Director of Progressive Shares

Once again the level of 22,000 worked well for the Bears as after the status-quo decision by the MPC committee, a steep fall was seen in the private banking and FMCG stocks which led to a sharp correction in the Index as well. In the mid-session, an attempt at recovery was seen but another round of selling in the last session dragged the Index further lower to end the session at 21,717.95 with a loss of 212.55 points. On a sector-wise performance, PSU Banks and Media were the top performers while defence stocks resumed their uptrend after a minor consolidation. On the daily chart, the Index has made a big negative candle but defended the level of 21,700 as well as 21DMA support which can be considered as immediate support while the upside seems to be capped at 21,900. In case of a decisive breakdown, the correction may extend to 21,500 while on the higher side, a convincing close above 22,100 is a must for resuming its uptrend.

Rupee Close:

Indian rupee ended flat at 82.96 per dollar on Thursday versus Wednesday's close of 82.97.

February 08, 2024· 15:31 IST

Aditya Agarwal, Head Derivatives & Technicals at Sanctum Wealth:

Post RBI policy, markets have witness profit booking particularly in private sector banking. However, we don’t expect a major selloff and this correction can be used as a buying opportunity. On lower side Nifty will find strong support around 21500-21400 levels and dips towards these levels can be used to initiate fresh long positions. From current levels in short term, upside will be limited and range of 22000-22200 will continue to act as stiff supply zone for index. Selected large Cap PSU banks and real estate stock looks positive and will be our preferred pick at this juncture.

Sensex Today | Anuj Choudhary Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas:

Indian Rupee remained flat today as RBI maintained status quo in its monetary policy for the sixth consecutive time and left Repo Rate unchanged at 6.5, in line with street expectations. The Governor revised FY24 GDP projections higher at 7.3% from 7% and projected FY25 GDP at 7%. He also projected CPI in FY25 lower at 4.5%. However, Rupee lost earlier gains as domestic markets declined and US Dollar also recovered. The RBI did not provide cues on timing of rate cut or change in policy stance.

US Dollar eased on Wednesday for the second consecutive day as investors wait for more cues from Fed speakers and weak economic data. US trade deficit declined to $62.2 billion in December 2023 vs $61.9 billion in November 2023. However, Dollar recovered from lower levels as most Fed speakers continue their hawkish rhetoric. Fed officials said that they were in no hurry to cut rates until May at the earliest.

We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias on expectations that US Dollar may recover amid hawkish Fed speak and geopolitical tensions. Israeli Prime Minister rejected a peace proposal by Hamas which may also lead to rise in crude oil prices. However, positive global markets may support Rupee at lower levels. Traders may take cues from weekly unemployment claims data from US and speeches by various Fed officials. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 82.70 to Rs 83.30.

:

Despite slight volatility in January, the market closed flat on a month-to-month basis. Equity schemes experienced a surge in inflows, reaching approximately ₹21,780 crores in Jan’24, compared to ₹16,997 crores in Dec’23. Sectoral/thematic and small-cap oriented funds were the primary contributors, with contributions of ₹4,804 crores and ₹3,256 crores, respectively. However, this was lower than the previous month's flows. Multi-cap category funds also witnessed a significant increase, reaching ₹3,038 crores in Jan’24 from approximately ₹1,852 crores in Dec’23.

Large caps demonstrated positive contributions this month, reversing the net outflows experienced in December 2023. This shift in trend is in line with valuation differentials among large v/s mid and small caps, suggesting that large caps/flexi caps oriented schemes may attract higher flows in the future. In the Hybrid category, MAF observed notable inflows of ₹7,079 crores, a significant increase from ₹2,420 crores in the previous month.

Overall, investor sentiment remained bullish, supported by the market's persistent strength. Market and investor sentiment leading up to the general elections year remain positive.

Sensex Today | Murthy Nagarajan, Head-fixed income, Tata Asset Management

RBI in its monetary policy has kept the CPI Inflation target for next year at 4.5%. The potential GDP growth seems to be above 7% as RBI has projected growth of 7% even when global growth is slowing. As capex increases in the economy, we feel we may have potential growth rate of 8% with CPI inflation around 4%.The government along with RBI is working together to have high growth and low inflation in the coming decades, which auger well for our economy. On the liquidity front, they have stated they will be doing two-way operation to keep liquidity in balance, they are aiming for overnight rates to trade around policy rates of 6.5% as RBI stance continues to be withdrawal of accommodation. Given the geo-political uncertainty, RBI does not want to lower its cautious stance and put the Target of CPI inflation of 4 percent at risk.

The debt market has reacted slightly negatively due to no statement of easing liquidity, but the long-term positive lies in their commitment to bring CPI inflation to 4% level. We should see 10-year yields going down to 7% in the coming days as monthly CPI inflation cools down below 5% in following months.

Sensex Today | Nikhil Gupta, Chief Economist, MOFSL Group:

The RBI has kept monetary policy unchanged, as broadly expected, with no change in interest rates or policy stance (Both with 5-1 voting.) Further, the Governor again emphasized the importance of achieving a 4% inflation target.

The Bank forecasts real GDP growth at 7% in FY25, with inflation at 4.5% versus 7% and 5.4%, respectively in FY24. (FY25 growth forecast has been revised up, keeping inflation broadly unchanged.)

Overall, there were no major announcements, hinting at an imminent easing. The RBI has been managing daily liquidity with overnight infusion, as and when required. We don't see easy monetary policy anytime soon, especially with such strong growth.
