“Markets inched further lower and lost over half a percent, in absence of any favorable cues. The first half was dull however pressure in the index majors changed the tone and pushed the Nifty index below the 17,000 mark. The fall was widespread wherein metal, realty and energy majors felt the maximum heat. Meanwhile, the broader indices underperformed and shed in the range of 1%-2%.
The recent fall has faded hopes of sustained recovery and we might again end up seeing range-bound moves in the index. Needless to say, the major support is intact at 16800 in the Nifty. We thus reiterate our view to limit positions and maintain positions on both sides”.
