Closing Bell: Sensex down 153 pts, Nifty below 25,050; IT shines ahead of TCS earnings

We wrap up today's edition of the Moneycontrol live market blog, and will be back tomorrow morning with all the latest updates and alerts. Please visit https://www.moneycontrol.com/markets/global-indices for all the global market action.

With the earnings season underway, focus now shifts to TCS’s quarterly results, scheduled for Thursday, October 9. As IT remains one of the lagging sectors, market participants will closely watch how sentiment evolves post its numbers.

On the index front, indications point toward further consolidation, albeit with a positive bias. We continue to maintain a “buy on dips” strategy and recommend focusing on opportunities with a favorable risk-reward setup, particularly within sectors showing consistent relative strength such as auto, metals, and PSUs, while remaining selective in others.

Nifty IT was the only sector to close in green amongst the sectoral indices. On the other hand, Nifty Realty ended up as the top sectoral loser, followed by Nifty Media and Nifty Auto which ended lower in the range of 1.6-1.8%. From Nifty space, Titan & Infosys ended up as the top gainers, while Tata Motors and M&M emerged as the top two losers.

Broader Indices also witnessed profit booking and closed in red after giving positive close in the last four trading sessions. The Midcap 100 Index & Smallcap 100 Index ended 0.73% and 0.52% lower respectively. The advance-decline ratio was skewed in the favour of the bears. A total of 355 stocks out of the Nifty 500 closed in the red.

Nifty View

On Tuesday, Nifty had formed a Shooting Star-like pattern which signalled profit booking after a sharp 600-point rally. In today’s session, the index failed to close above the key 61.8% Fibonacci retracement zone of 25,110–25,120 derived from the prior down move (25,449 to 24,611), indicating hesitation near crucial resistance levels.

The RSI has plateaued over the last three sessions, suggesting a slowdown in bullish momentum. However, Nifty continues to trade above the midline of the Bollinger Band and key moving averages, highlighting that the broader trend remains constructive. Overall, the index seems to be in a consolidation phase within its ongoing pullback rally.

Looking at key levels, the 25,150–25,200 zone will act as an immediate resistance for the Index. If the index manages to give a follow through move above the level of 25,200, the pullback can continue further till 25,300 level. While, on the downside, the zone of 24,950-24,900 will act as a crucial support for the Index.

Bank Nifty View

Bank Nifty witnessed a brief pause in momentum after a strong six-session rally, ending the day marginally lower by 221 points at 56,018. The index faced resistance near the upper band of the Bollinger Band, prompting profit booking from higher levels. However, the prior swing high zone around 55,850–55,800, acted as a solid support, helping it recover from intraday lows.

Structurally, the trend remains positive as the price continues to trade well above its key moving averages (20, 50, 100, and 200 EMA). The RSI is comfortably placed above 60, reflecting sustained bullish strength, while the MACD’s positive histogram bars indicate underlying momentum still favours buyers.

Looking at key levels, the 56,200–56,300 zone will act as an immediate resistance for the Index. If the index manages to give a follow through move above the level of 56,300, the pullback can continue further till 56,700 level. While, on the downside, the zone of 55,900-55,800 will act as a crucial support for the index.

The midcap and small-cap indices also closed lower, reflecting broader market weakness and selective profit booking.

The market closed lower mainly because of weak global trends and pressure in some domestic sectors. While IT stocks held steady, losses in real estate and banking dragged the market down. Earlier gains faded as mixed earnings reports and caution ahead of key economic data and policy updates made investors hesitant. We are now waiting for upcoming company results and economic numbers, especially with global inflation worries and geopolitical tensions in the background.

Looking ahead, market expectations center on a cautiously optimistic stance. We are anticipating clarity from upcoming earnings releases and RBI’s monetary policy signals, along side monitoring global economic cues and geopolitical developments. While cautiousness prevails, sectors with robust fundamentals and growth visibility, especially IT, consumer durables, and select financials, may garner interest with potential rotation away from beaten-down segments like realty and PSU banks.

Heightened global uncertainties and the ongoing US government shutdown drove gold to a historical high, reflecting elevated risk aversion. Attention now turns to the September FOMC minutes for signals on the Fed’s policy stance. Going forward, while global developments remain relevant, market focus is likely to shift toward domestic earnings, macroeconomic data, and the upcoming festive season.

At close, the Sensex was down 153.09 points or 0.19 percent at 81,773.66, and the Nifty was down 62.15 points or 0.25 percent at 25,046.15. About 1697 shares advanced, 2297 shares declined, and 138 shares unchanged.

BSE Midcap index shed 0.7% and Smallcap indices declined 0.4%.

Among sectors, except consumer durables, IT all other sectoral indices ended in the red with realty, telecom, pharma, oil & gas, media, PSU Bank, auto down 0.3-2%.

Tata Motors, UltraTech Cement, Jio Financial, ONGC, Trent were among major losers on the Nifty, while gainers were Titan Company, Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra and Max Healthcare.

This trend might witness some correction and stability in the short-term, however, the price trajectory will continue to witness a steady hike due to global tailwinds.

In the short run, the prices will be around 4, 037/oz in the international market and 1, 30, 000/ 10 grams in the domestic market during the peak season. This has led to sinking effect on the global demand, particularly in the retail jewellery segment where the cost sensitivity is a factor of concern. Also, people are purchasing with caution and more focused on accumulating bullion to safeguard themselves against unprecedented volatility.

In the domestic market, the demand for lightweight 9 carat, 14 carat, and 18 carat jewellery are trending and will continue to do so, given the factors of affordability and festive buying. Parallelly, the conventional heavy jewellery has witnessed a slight slug, although temporary in nature and will spring back as we enter the winter wedding season.

Continued foreign portfolio investment (FPI) outflows suggest sustained demand for dollars, which could exert upward pressure on USD/INR; however, exporter dollar sales and active Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervention are helping to cap the pair’s rise.

On the technical front, immediate resistance is seen near 89.00, with a more significant barrier around 90.00, while key support levels lie at 88.40 and 87.75. Globally, the US Dollar Index has strengthened, partly due to the weakness in the Japanese yen following the election of Sanae Takaichi as leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

Markets anticipate that her expansionary fiscal policies will reduce the likelihood of interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, resulting in the yen’s notable depreciation against the dollar. This, in turn, provides indirect support to USD/INR. Overall, the pair remains range-bound, influenced by domestic flows and central bank actions, while global currency dynamics, particularly a stronger US dollar, may provide additional upward support.
