In this Weekly Market Newsletter:


Indian markets corrected last week as global investors were in rush to withdraw money from equities due to hardening yields (Fed rate hikes), inflation woes, and valuation concerns. S&P500 witnessed its worst weekly drop since the start of the pandemic.

Back home, Nifty closed the week with a 3.8% loss ending at 17,617 down 691 pts while BSE Sensex ended the week at 59,037 down 2,272 pts or -3.7%. Muted corporate earnings also dampened D-street sentiments. Bank Nifty also recorded a 1.68% loss, during the week, ending at 37,574. IT stocks led the fall while outperformance was seen from the auto sector.

Weekly stock market updates: Top Gainers and Losers

What to expect from the markets? by Mr. Abhishek Jain, Arihant Capital’s Research Head

Markets may open in the red owing to weak global sentiments. The markets may also react to Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank results. Reliance Industries posted decent numbers on an overall basis with good performance of the retail business.

The budget will also be vibing next week, so keep an eye on budget-related themes. One can add divestment candidates like MMTC, BPCL on weakness.

You can consider increasing allocation on financial stocks on dips. We like Axis Bank and Indian Bank. Some discretionary plays like ABFRL and Indigo also can be added on weakness.

🔭 Market Outlook

Nifty Outlook

If we look at the daily chart of Nifty, a “Lower low” formation is visible and on the weekly front, the index has formed a “Bearish” candle formation. This indicates that Nifty may pause on higher levels and the market can show volatility due to F&O monthly expiry due next week along with the ongoing result season and the upcoming “Union Budget”.

Nifty has to cross 17,680-level to see a bounce towards 17,780 and 17,950. On the downside support, if it crosses below 17,500 then it can test the levels of 17,250 and 17,000 .

Bank Nifty Outlook

On the daily chart of Bank Nifty, the “Doji” candle formation is visible, and on the weekly chart, it came again near the short-term moving averages. When you combine both data points, it seems consolidation is on the cards. This week Bank Nifty closed at 37,748 levels. In the coming trading sessions, if it holds below 37,500 then weakness could take it to 37,100 and 36,800 levels. Meanwhile, minor resistance on the upside is capped at around 38,550-38,900 levels.
