Equity Alert: Indices seen in range Wed ahead of US FOMC outcome
MUMBAI--0815 IST--Benchmark indices are likely to move in a range Wednesday as market participants await the outcome of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, with the decision to be out at 0030 IST Thursday. The committee is widely expected to cut key interest rates by 25 basis points, but market will focus on US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's comments on inflation, the labour market, and the rate trajectory.
Sentiment in the domestic market has been weak for the past couple of days amid uncertainty around the US-India trade deal, which was largely expected to have been announced by now. High stock valuations also pushed investors to book some profits recently after benchmark indices hit fresh lifetime highs last week.
GIFT Nifty contracts suggested the Nifty 50 is likely to see some gains at open after the index lost 1.3% in the previous two sessions. The December contract of the GIFT Nifty was at 25902 points at 0741 IST. On Tuesday, the Nifty 50 closed at 25839.65 points, down 0.5%.
Technical investors are divided over the market's direction. While some said the fall in the Nifty 50 may extend to 25600 points as the index is already below its earlier support, some analysts said the index may see an uptick considering oversold conditions after the two-day fall and may face resistance at 25950-26000 points.
Global cues were largely weak with risk-off sentiment in global markets ahead of the US FOMC meeting. US markets were mixed with S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite largely unchanged, while Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.4%.
Most Asian markets were down in early trade with a limited fall in several indices. However, indices in China saw a sharp fall of around 1?ter inflation in the region picked up in November. China's Consumer Price Index in November was up 0.7% on year compared to a 0.2% rise in October. (Anshul Choudhary)
