Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking
Markets started the week on a volatile note and ended almost unchanged. After the initial fall, Nifty recovered gradually as the day progressed and finally settled at 19426.30 levels. Meanwhile, a mixed trend was witnessed on the sectoral front wherein IT, FMCG and media edged higher while metal, realty and financials ended in the red.
Nifty respected the support zone of the short term moving average i.e. 50 EMA, after penetrating the previous swing low at 19,300 levels. Despite the corrective tone, we have been seeing resilience in select heavyweights, which is not only keeping a check on the pace of decline and also triggering recovery in between. We feel it is prudent to stay focused on trade management amid mixed signals and wait for clarity.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services:
Following weak performances in Asian markets, the domestic indices commenced the day with a negative bias, prompted by discouraging domestic industrial data along with concerns over demand from China. However, the indices managed to recover from their initial losses, ending the day on a relatively neutral note.
India's wholesale inflation persisted in negative territory, albeit moderating to -1.36%, as the decline in fuel prices was counterbalanced by higher food costs. India's CPI inflation, due to be released today, is anticipated to exceed the RBI's tolerance level of 6% due to mounting pressure from elevated food prices.
Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities:
The Nifty index displayed volatility throughout the trading session, before ending the day with minimal change. On the daily chart, it's evident that the index received support at the 50EMA, leading to a notable intraday rebound. However, the RSI on the daily chart demonstrated a bearish crossover, with its value dropping below 50. This could be indicative of a weakening trend. If the index falls below the 19250 mark, it might incite a corrective movement towards the 19100-19150 range in the near future. Conversely, resistance can be identified at the 19550 level on the higher side.
Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas:
The Nifty witnessed a volatile day of trade today. It opened on a negative note and witnessed selling pressure. However, as the day progressed it saw buying interest from lower levels and closed well off the intraday lows. More importantly, it has managed to close above the 40-day moving average (19355), indicating that it is a crucial support to watch out for in the near term. Only a decisive close below it shall lead to a further decline. On the upside, the zone of 19450 – 19500 is a crucial hurdle where resistance in the form of the key hourly moving averages is placed which shall restrict the upside.
The daily and hourly momentum indicators are providing divergent signals. Thus, under such a situation a consolidation is highly likely. Overall, there a no signs of a trend reversal, and hence the short-term outlook is negative. On the downside we expect the Nifty to target levels of 19100. The crucial support zone on the downside is placed at 19300 – 19250 and on the upside, resistance is placed at 19450 – 19500.
Bank Nifty has formed a doji pattern on the daily charts. this pattern after a sharp fall indicates that Bank Nifty can consolidate from a short-term perspective. After falling for three consecutive weeks, it has reached the 20-week moving average (43880) which can restrict a sharp decline from hereon. The daily and hourly momentum indicators are providing divergent signals. Thus, under such a situation a consolidation is highly likely. However, the overall trend is still negative, and we expect levels of 43500 from a short-term perspective.
Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities
Markets continued to witness wild fluctuations due to weak Asian cues but early optimism in European indices aided recovery in local markets with the help of buoyancy in IT stocks. However, deflation and demand slowdown in China coupled with concerns over more rate hikes in developed economies going ahead has been taking the sheen out of equity markets. Investors are also wary of steady selling by foreign investors in local markets this month, which is causing traders to limit their exposure. All eyes will be on CPI and WPI inflation numbers and if the reading is higher, more correction could be in the offing.
Technically, after an early morning selloff the Nifty took support near the 50 day SMA (Simple Moving Average) and bounced back sharply towards the end. For the day traders now, 19350 would act as a trend decider level, above which the pullback rally could be seen which would drive the market up till 19500-19560. On the flip side, a fresh selloff could be seen only after the dismissal of 19350, and below the same, the index could retest the level of 19300-19250 or 50 day SMA.
Rupee Close:
Indian rupee ended lower at 82.95 per dollar on Monday versus Friday's close of 82.85.

Sensex Today | Anuj Choudhary - Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas
Indian Rupee fell to a fresh 10-month low on weak domestic markets and a strong Dollar. India’s IIP also grew at a slower pace as compared to the forecast.
The dollar gained after US PPI data was higher than forecast and safe haven demand on risk aversion in global markets.
We expect Rupee to trade with a negative bias on risk aversion in global markets and rising US dollars. FII outflows may also weigh on Rupee. However, a decline in crude oil prices may support Rupee at lower levels. Traders may take cues from India’s inflation data which is expected to jump to 6.4% from 4.81% in the previous month. We expect the USDINR spot to trade in the range of 82.50 to 83.50 in the near term.

Sensex Today | Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist
The wholesale price index (WPI) continued in a deflationary zone for the fourth consecutive month in July, helped by lower metals, chemicals, textile, manufactured food, and mineral oils prices. However, the pace of annualised decline in WPI slowed significantly compared with the previous two months, with the spike in food prices led by vegetables restricting the downside. Consequently, sequential momentum in WPI turned positive after two months.
If the food prices continue to trend upward, the deflationary trend could end, and WPI inflation could turn marginally positive in the coming months. Additionally, the uptrend in global crude oil prices, global edible oil prices, and uneven monsoon distribution domestically pose an upside risk to the outlook.
Nevertheless, we expect the WPI inflation for this fiscal at a subdued level (in the range of 1-2%) with positive implications for the retail inflation trajectory.

Sensex Today | TVS Supply Chain Solutions IPO issue subscribed 1.84 times on final day
The maiden public issue of TVS Supply Chain Solutions has been bought 1.84 times by investors on August 14, the last day of bidding, which saw bids for 4.61 crore equity shares against an offer size of 2.51 crore shares.

Qualified institutional buyers (QIB) bought 47 percent shares of the reserved portion, which is 75 percent in the IPO. At least a 90 percent subscription in the QIB category is a must for any IPO to sail through.
The TVS Mobility Group has reserved 15 percent portion of the IPO for HNIs and the remaining 10 percent for retail investors.
Sensex Today | Prashanth Tapse, Research Analyst - Sr VP Research at Mehta Equities:
The spotlight is back on Adani groups stocks and this time the auditor raises concerns and resign. Such developments are never welcomed by market participants. Post Hindenburg reports deloitte wanted to have a detailed forensic group audit and due to non-cooperation and delay, deloitte decided to get down as statutory auditor to Adani firm and later appointed MSKA & Associates as the company’s new auditor.
We continue to remain neutral to negative on such development on Adani Group stocks. On Adani Port, technically Rs 762 level acts as crucial support for the counter any close below this we would see more selling pressure and even test Rs 700 level on a worst case scenario.
