Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, “The short-lived pull-back rally displays the level of uncertainty in today’s market. The weakness of the global market due to quantitative tightening has pulled the market down. The US Fed Chair’s testimony later in the day will be keenly watched for clues about the central banks’ future dot-plot.”

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers as they sold shares worth Rs 2,701.21 crore on Tuesday, as per exchange data.
Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities said, “Markets once again went into a plunge mode as panic-stricken investors taking cues from an early slump in European indices and weakness in other Asian gauges dumped equities, especially metal, power and realty stocks. The market is currently in a very fragile mode as any signs of negatives are prompting traders to exit stocks at will.”
