Experts on Today’s Market Performance
“The domestic market plunged into red terrain in the latter half, amidst mixed global sentiments. Recent IIP data indicates a lacklustre growth in the major manufacturing sector. Persistent selling by FIIs and elevated valuations is further contributing to the decline,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services
Nair also said that Despite having minimal impact on the recent adverse developments, the market currently shifts attention towards underlying earnings growth, which remains bleak this quarter and may lead to a downgrade if resilience isn’t shown in subsequent quarters. All sectors, especially banking, metals, telecom, and fertilizers were in red, while HDFC Bank declined due to lower-than-expected passive fund inflows in the recent MSCI index rejig.

Commenting on the same Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking said that The markets continued their downward trend, losing nearly a percent as the correction phase persisted. Despite a flat start, the Nifty gradually declined, closing near the day’s low at 24,140.70. The pressure was primarily due to a drop in banking and financial heavyweights, while IT majors attempted to limit the losses. Broader indices also struggled, with declines ranging from 0.8% to 1.3%.
Mishra also added that Nifty is under pressure after failing to surpass the 20-day EMA resistance and appears poised to retest the 24,000 support zone. The decline in banking majors has disrupted the recovery, while other sectors are trading mixed. We recommend monitoring leveraged positions closely and waiting for clearer market signals.
Bank Nifty

With banking stocks positioned at critical support levels, a strong bounce-back from current levels is expected, targeting 50,750 and 51,000.
