NEW DELHI – Domestic equity indices witnessed selling pressure today as fears that the US Federal Reserve may have to keep raising interest rates for a longer time took a toll on investor sentiment. The fall in domestic equities was in-line with the losses across most global markets.
The broader sentiment in the market reflected the weakness as the advanced-to-decline ratio favoured the laggards. Weakness also spread across the broader market as investors chose to book some profits after their recent outperformance. All the small and mid-cap indices on the NSE ended with losses.
Today, the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex opened lower on weak global cues and extended their losses to hit lows of 18577.90 points and 62390.07 points, respectively. However, some buying at lower levels helped the indices come off their day's lows and end at 18642.75 points and 62626.36 points, both down 0.3% from their previous close.
"Today's decline can be largely attributed to profit booking in the US market which spilled over to other markets, including ours. Moreover, some caution also persisted due to the Reserve Bank of India policy meet outcome on Wednesday and state election results on Thursday. In a way, the market is taking a breather after hitting multiple record highs last week," said Ajit Mishra, vice-president – research, Religare Broking.
Despite pricing in a 25-35 bps rate hike from the RBI, investors still chose to remain on the sidelines as they await the commentary from Governor Shaktikanta Das on the future policy tightening trajectory of the central bank, analysts believe.
The fall in domestic equities also weighed on the Indian rupee as it depreciated to a near one-month low of 82.63 against the US dollar.
Metal and information technology stocks bore the brunt of selling today. Concerns over rising possibility of a recession in advanced economies triggered fears of a slowdown in demand and pulled down prices of base metals. Some profit booking after their recent strong gains was also at play, resulting in a 1-3% fall in frontline metal stocks.
The information technology pack also mirrored the losses in its global peers after the sentiment for growth-oriented sectors took a hit in the wake of a rise in US bond yields. The Nifty IT index ended 1.5% lower. However, analysts maintain that the correction in the sector in 2022 has moderated its valuations and consequently value buying in IT counters may soon kick in.
Comprising a few pockets in the market that managed to eke out gains today was consumer goods. In the wake of rising fears of a slowdown in economic growth, investors chose to shift bets towards more quality stocks and sectors that are more cushioned in the face of recessionary risks, which helped in the outperformance of consumer goods stocks today, said a head of research at a brokerage firm.
