Nifty, Sensex Remain Under Pressure – Thursday Closing Report
Moneylife Digital Team 28 September 2023
In yesterday’s market copy we mentioned that the market may move a bit a higher before resuming its downtrend. This happened in the very first hour today, as the market opened high and quickly reversed and then continued to go down. On Thursday, 1613 stocks advanced, 2050 declined and 127 remained unchanged on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), with an advance decline ratio of 0.78 indicating a negative closing of stocks in broader markets. The persistent elevation of crude oil prices, especially above the $90 mark, raises concerns about inflation and its potential impact on operational margins. On a global scale, close attention is being paid to US GDP data and the upcoming speech by the Federal Reserve chief, as these factors are poised to shape the future trajectory of the markets. The confluence of higher interest rates and US bond yields is influencing Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) to sell. The trend of the major indices on Thursday’s trading is given in the table below:
