Nifty ends week with Doji candle. What traders should do next week

By ending Friday’s trading session with a marginal loss of 14 points, Nifty on Friday formed a Doji candle on the daily chart to signal an indecisive mood on Dalal Street. After the positive chart pattern like higher tops and bottoms on the daily, Nifty seems to have formed a new lower high on Thursday, which reflects ongoing downward correction in the market. This is also suggesting a possibility of selling pressure emerging on any upside bounce from here, said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.

FIIs squared off long positions in Index futures as indicated by the Long-Short Ratio. The momentum indicator has a negative crossover which is a sell signal and thus the pullbacks shall be difficult to sustain.

SBI Card Q1 Results: Profit drops 5% YoY to Rs 593 crore

The better-than-expected US Q2 GDP data, though positive, hindered the mood of the domestic market as it signalled the chances of another rate hike. The Fed chief’s comments about a data-centric approach without ruling out rate hikes added to the uncertainty. Furthermore, the reversal of the buying trend by FII and the rise in US bond yields contributed to market volatility. However, Asian markets remained largely positive due to the BOJ’s decision to retain the policy rate, contrary to speculation about the removal of stimulus measures.

ITC clarifies it won’t buy stake in hotels if BAT wants an exit after demerger

Kolkata-based FMCG major ITC has told analysts that it won’t be a buyer in case a large shareholder like BAT wants to exit the hotels business following its demerger into a new subsidiary.

The restructuring exercise has met a long-pending demand of investors to unlock value in matured businesses but the decision to keep 40% stake with the parent entity had raised eyebrows.

If an investor owns a 10% stake in ITC, post-demerger, they shall hold a 6% stake in ITC Hotels and a 4% stake in ITC Hotels indirectly via ITC Ltd.

The world’s largest tobacco company, British American Tobacco (BAT) which owns 29% stake in ITC, would end up owning about 17.4% stake in ITC Hotels after the demerger. It is being speculated that BAT may have little interest in owning a hospitality stock in its portfolio.

Market View | Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

The market is delicately poised with strong headwinds and some tailwinds. The headwinds come from the US 10-year yield rising sharply to 4%, the dollar index rising to 101.7, Brent crude rising above $83 and FPIs selling stocks for Rs 3979 crores in the cash market yesterday. While these strong headwinds can impact the market, support can come from the strong US 2nd quarter GDP number of 2.4%. Since the ongoing global rally,led by the mother market US, is primarily driven by the US soft landing narrative, this data can provide some support when the market turns weak.

Investors have to be careful chasing small-caps which are in overvalued territory. Large-caps, even when richly valued, are safe unlike risky small-caps.

Pharma is staging a comeback and there is value-buying happening in beaten down metal stocks.

Despite a positive opening, inability to convincingly breach the upper boundary of the 19770-840 band, which we had marked down as pivotal region, led to a liquidation spree that stretched through the day, until 19620 stepped in to arrest further free fall. The swing thereof and a close near 19700 encourages us to go in today expecting positivity and get back to the 20160 trajectory. However, expect bears to dominate if unable to clear 19770 or float above 19670, but a free fall is less expected.
