Nifty Overview & Outlook

The benchmark Nifty settled lower at 23870 spot levels after a cut of 127 points from its previous closing values.

The broader markets underperformed the benchmark as Mid and Small cap indices fell around 1% each.

All sectoral indices, barring Auto and Media, ended in red. Among them, Nifty Chemicals and Realty index were at the bottom of the tally, fell 1.87% & 1.81% respectively followed by Oil & Gas and PSU bank index that fell around 1% each.

Technically, the Nifty index retested the lower band of its month-long consolidation range (23,800–24,530 spot zone) and is trading on verge of breakdown from it. Going ahead, a decisive breakdown below the 23,800–23,780 spot zone could trigger a further slide toward 23,600–23,500 levels. Conversely, sustained trading above 24,000 could push it back to 24,260 spot levels.
