Share Market Today - 8th May 2019

MARKET RECAP                                                              Key Market Data Points The domestic markets maintained its downside momentum during yesterday’s session along with high volatility. Although the benchmark indices started the session on a positive note but selling pressure during the second half forced them to close with considerable loss. The index Nifty spot registered an intraday high of 11657 and closed way below the same i.e. it closed below 11500 mark. Meanwhile the Nifty Bank index too lost more than 400 points from previous close. The positive market breadth turned in the favour of declining counters as the day progressed which indicates broad based selling. On the sectoral front, apart from NIFTY IT (+0.15%) all the other group indices close in negative terrain. With regards to losers, NIFTY MEDIA (-2.74%) and NIFTY PSUBANK (-2.20%) stocks remained under pressure. From the F&O space, STAR (+7.38%), MARICO (+5.70%) and HEXAWARE (+1.94%) were the biggest performers. MARKET OUTLOOK NIFTY Chart: Finally the range of 11550 – 11800 has been breached decisively. We expected the index to hold the support of 11550 but yesterday it not only sneaked below the support but closed with more weakness. Now going ahead, till the time Nifty trades below 11650 traders should avoid any aggressive long bet. On the downside, next supports are placed at 11450 – 11420 levels. In case of any pullback, 11580 might act as strong resistance in the coming session. Overall, we expect the markets to turn more volatile in the coming weeks due to election results and hence advice traders to avoid over leveraged positions.   Disclaimer)

Review Yesterday, Crude oil prices slips in international market WTI Crude settled at $61.40 while Brent settled at $69.79 per barrel. At MCX Crude oil settled negative at 4264 per barrel with the loss of 1.89%. After a sharp recovery from lower levels on Monday, crude oil prices slips again yesterday as trade tensions looming between US-China and which is indicating for lower global demand. But U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela is balancing oil in international markets. The United States re-imposed sanctions on Iran in November last year, demanding all countries stop importing oil from the country. Iran has said it will defy the sanctions and continue to export oil. Most analysts expect its crude export to fall to little more than 500,000 barrels per day, down from around 1 million bpd in April, as governments largely bow to American pressure. Washington has also slapped sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports, further disrupting crude supply. We expect crude oil to show strength and will test resistance of $62.50.

The sell-off on the LME is a delayed reaction to Trump's comments over the weekend about higher tariffs, one copper trader said, adding that a break of the 200-day moving average around $6,190 had fuelled downward momentum. We expect base metal remain volatile and any positive comment from US-China trade official will support prices in international markets. Weakness in rupee will support prices in domestic markets.
