Equity market trading hours not to be extended: Daily Market Update – 7 May 2024

The proposal to extend market trading timings has been turned down by the regulator, NSE chief executive Ashishkumar Chauhan said during a post earnings call on Monday. "Currently there is no plan to increase the timings (for trading) as SEBI has returned back the application which we had provided because the stock brokers seemed to have not given the feedback that SEBI wanted," Chauhan said.

Nifty Overview & Outlook

The benchmark Nifty experienced a subdued movement throughout the trading session, ultimately concluding with a flat to negative close. Similarly, the Bank Nifty ended the session on a flat note.

Conversely, the Midcap index observed its second consecutive session of decline, significantly underperforming the benchmark index by dropping nearly 1% after initial Open-High. The Small cap index also struggled, marking its fifth consecutive intraday decline with losses of 1.5%.

Sectoral performance displayed a mixed pattern, with PSU Banks leading the downturn with a 3.7% decline. Nifty Media followed suit with a decrease of more than 2%. In contrast, Nifty Realty emerged as the top performer, fueled by buoyant quarterly numbers from Godrej Properties. Nifty IT also made gains, rising by almost 1%.

With limited movement, the Nifty currently maintains its Triple Top form. Thereby, we maintain our support near the 38.2% retracement level of the recent upward rally i.e 22406 spot levels, suggesting potential for continued rebound in the near term.
