Sensex Today: Stock Market LIVE Updates: Sensex, Nifty reverse losses, trade higher; bank, IT stocks gain most; FMCG stocks bleed

[ad_1]

Sensex Today Live: Indian shares opened slightly lower on Wednesday, a day after the Sensex closed at a fresh high, as global markets retreated after blasts in Poland that local authorities said were caused by Russian-made missiles.

The decline was less than the 0.87% drop in MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan caused by the potential for a further ratcheting up of geopolitical tensions. [MKTS/GLOB]

NATO member Poland said a Russian-made rocket killed two people in eastern Poland near Ukraine. Moscow denied it was responsible and U.S. President Joe Biden said early information suggested the blast may not have been caused by a missile fired from Russia.

Among the biggest drags were Nifty’s fast-moving consumer goods and energy indexes, which slipped at least 0.3% each.

Nestle India, Hindalco, Asian Paints, Britannia Industries and Tata Consumer fell the most among the Nifty 50 constituents, losing between 1.1% and 0.71%.

RBL Bank gained 1.7%. CEO R. Subramaniakumar told Reuters it is looking to ramp up its retail exposure to protect its books from being over-exposed to large corporates.

Consolidation inside the 18480-350 region continues, with dips finding buying interest on anticipated lines, with rallies fizzling out before they mature. Favoured view expects positive bias to linger on, aiming for 18460 or18530 initially. Inability to float above 18360 early in the day, would however force us to revert to a neutral stance.

Bullish momentum continues in the market. A good indicator of the bullish sentiments is the decline in the volatility index VIX from above 18 in October to around 14.6 now. The US CBOE VIX also is on a downtrend. This, along with steadily falling US yields strengthens the bullish construct for equity markets. Since the Nifty is only around 1% away from all-time highs a final dash to a new record can happen anytime. Profit booking and correction is likely after that. Since the drivers of the current rally are high quality large-caps particularly in banking and IT, mid and small-caps are unlikely to participate in the ongoing rally. Investors may stick with quality. Two Russian missiles landing in Poland killing two civilians has emerged as a new near-term concern whether it will escalate the Ukraine war.
