3.Key Market Drivers sensex:

Indian Stock Market Today : Economic & Sectoral Updates On Friday, the Indian stock market was a mixed bag of performance of stocks where the indices were boosted by some select stocks but the majority was not up to the mark with the investor sentiments.

Top Gainers

 Certain stocks proved to be the leaders and overlays helped to provide the direction in the indices. Among them were:

  • ICICI Bank: It maintained its upward trend and enjoyed the appreciation from the investors because of its financial performance as well as sound asset base. Not only has the volume of loans and advances grown over the years for the bank, but it also has a decent balance sheet, both of which attracted a lot of buyers.
  • Bharti Airtel: The telecom major was also up on the expectations of a healthy growth in its earning supported by rising data usage and more number of 4G subscribers. Moreover, increased positive outlook for the market due to the progression of the ongoing 5G rollouts also aided the company’s stock. 
  • Tata Motors: The automotive company received uplift in its shares because of sound sales figures and increment in its margins on domestic as well as international operations which mainly include electric vehicles. Another convincing promise was made in more aggressive debt reduction and improvement of the company’s profitability.

“These movements provided positive support to these stocks in spite of sectoral cautiousness of the broad market which was mainly due to good fundamentals and positive market sentiments.”

Major Laggards

 On the flip side, several stocks underperformed, dragging down the indices:On the flip side, several stocks underperformed, dragging down the indices:

  • Tech Mahindra:A leading IT services company was able to experience a drop in shares mainly due to issues arising from margins and a slowdown elsewhere including Europe and North America. There were also concerns on the effect of a slowing global economy on the company’s revenues.
  • Infosys: Pranab Kumar Dhal Infosys the other IT major faced similar problem saying that investors are running on the media reports of the client cutting their budget and delay in decision making in the IT field.

These stocks experienced some sector and global related problems that burdened the otherwise sound performances, hence, poor performance in the market.

In large, for bull and bear stocks, and the economy sector this year, the market has been showing mixed sentiments, however some sectors displayed some stronger fundamentals as well as growth prospects while most of the sectors remain restrained by the global economic issues and sectoral weightage.

4.The Fluctuations of the Global and Investors’ Perception:

The short-term fluctuation in the Indian markets provided further evidence of investors’ global apprehensions that have affected the markets across the globe.

While global markets try to respond to a number of economic indicators, the indices maintained a conservative behavior throughout the session. Specifically, the markets of the U. S. have been quite sensitive to the inflationary pressures, expectations of future increase in interest rates and overall economic environment influences.

Ranked on the similar concerns regarding economic growth and inflation, European markets also depicted volatility to the same extent.

Highlight the importance of Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole for global markets:

In this respect, investor attention has been directed to the annual Jackson Hole Symposium where news on the general direction of the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy from Jerome Powell is anticipated.

Market participants across the world remain anxious, as they await signs of change in the monetary policy stance of the monetary authority in America, the Federal Reserve, or the Fed in policies of inflation.

For the Indian investors, what Powell going to speak next is very important. The speech may have implications on international capital flows, exchange rates together with investors’ attitude.

This means that an even more aggressive approach in Powell’s tone could mean and lead to a contraction in global financial conditions, which in turn may force overseas investors to rethink their stakes in emerging market destinations such as India.

On other hand, hawkish monetary policy will have opposite effect, viz, risk aversion, which in turn will discourage further investment in Indian share markets.

Investor sentiment in India in response to global uncertainty and Fed policy expectations.

Against this background, the Indian investor sentiment has been characterised more by optimism but with considerable caution.

On this front, the traders have successfully managed to hold the gains but the global volatilities have forced the traders to turn cautious and most of them have preferred to wait till the speech of Powell.

This is so when added to the other dissent due to domestic inflation, interest rates and the general economic recovery.

“In other words, while mixed global signals and, more importantly, uncertainty associated with the policy reversal plan by the Fed, Indian investors’ reaction has been modest.”

  • Discussion on the mixed global market trends influencing Indian indices.

5.Technical Indicators Analysis:

Analysis from market experts on current technical indicators.

Technical indications suggested that the markets were tense during the Friday’s market session and at the same time many indicators also pointed towards a lot of opportunities.

They focused on annualized performance to identify the short-term movement and the observations that might assist the investors.


There was a number of technical indications mentioned by the market gurus that pointed to the bearish market. Even as Sensex and Nifty continued in their upward trajectory, a sense of distribution levels could be observed.

For example, the Nifty was near to important resistance around 24900 level which has been crucial in latest trading sessions. Such as Dhupesh Dhameja, an analyst of SAMCO Securities said that overcoming this level for the Nifty would be more important for continuation of the rally.

Focus on derivatives trading activity, including Call writing and resistance levels.

The Relative Strength Indexes for both the indices were oscillating around the over bought level and this meant the market might be in a phase of correction or consolidation.

Moreover, moving average revealed that although the near term of the stock index continues to rise, but signs in medium term could turn risky if global signals deteriorate.

  • Derivatives Trading Activity:In the derivative market price action emphasized the sentiment of a market awaiting further cues. Some prominent open interest addition was observed on the Call side at major resistance of the level of 24,800-24,900 of Nifty due to the belief of traders that the index would face hurdles in the immediate term at these levels. It can also be observed that the level of Call writing goes up when the perceived downside risks are believed to be high.
  • At the same time:Put writing at lower levels expressed some ‘belief that major support levels would continue to hold and the level of 24700 was considered critical. This dual Call and Put writing signaled possible price consolidation within a certain range of value until global factors pull the market to one side, as it was the case with the Powell’s speech.

Commentary on India VIX and its implications on market volatility.

  • India VIX and Market Volatility:As at the old model of the ‘public’ company, it had a defined hierarchical structure; it is the ‘mass’ characteristic, where the masses are involved in the enterprise that defines new model.
  • Interestingly, the India VIX:The market volatility index was slightly lower though it seems there is some prudence in the market but not in the form of fear. A lower VIX means that investors expect volatility of near-term to remain subdued which is in sync with the current FOML state. However, any changes especially those that emanate from the global markets can easily create a shift of this equation as we have witnessed in the past.
  • Suggested Trading Strategies:With these technical maneuvers, the analysts are already profetending the so-called “Buy on Dips” approach. Since the market chooses to remain volatile even during a global financial crisis, this approach helps an investor to enter the game during downturns and possibly exit through breakout points of certain resistance levels. However, this strategy comes with a caveat: that is why the investors should always be alert with possible downer swings and they may wish to apply very tight stop loss levels.
The Fluctuations of the Global and Investors

Suggested strategies, such as “Buy on Dips,” in light of cautious market sentiment.

  • In conclusion the current technical level findings are that while the market is smaller the same has major resistance levels and volatility questions from global shocks as noted above. As for the current market, the best strategy seems to be moderate optimism with an organized procurement spree while the investors exercise caution in order not to fall prey to the now famous ‘overbuying’.

6.Anticipation of Powell’s Speech:

Background on the Jackson Hole Symposium and its significance.

The Jackson Hole Symposium is an annual conference for the central bankers, economists and policymakers to deliberate and discuss on the key issues and it also carries a lot of importance in the whole word context.

Since the year 1978 the event has been conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and it addresses important concerns of the economic system.

For global markets this event is particularly important as it prescribes the general tenor for monetary policy decisions that can shape conditions for the global economy.

Speculation on possible outcomes from Powell’s address, including the impact on global and Indian markets.

This year, all attention is focused on the speech of head of the U. S Federal Reserve Jerome Powell. As the world economy remains unpredictable, Powell’s speech is expected with high interest due to the need to understand the future position of the Fed on the monetary propositions.

The moderation in both inflationary risks and economic growth make some of the comments by Powell possibly shed light on the Fed’s policy on interest rates—whether they would remain unchanged or even signal future rate cuts.

Discussion on the potential for future rate cuts or steady rates based on recent Fed minutes.

This is due to the fact that there is not any way of predicting the outcome of Powell’s speech In the literal sense. Depending on the signal that is forwarded by the possible indications of a rate cut in the near future, it can trigger a rally in global equities because stocks become more alluring at lower rates.

This would probably help the emerging markets such as India to lure overseas investment. By the same token, if, on the other hand, Powell is going to stress the intent to maintain rates or even raise them more to curb inflation risk, then markets may respond negatively, say, with higher volatility and funds withdrawal from the risk assets.

Sursive minutes of FED meetings have revealed a mixed picture whereby some members are insisting on patience while others are worried about inflation persistency.

This is an additional element contributing to the uncertainty of the market expectations to Powell’s speech, The next actions in the market will largely depend on the tendency and contents of Powell’s speech since it will outline the tendency of the global monetary policy in the following months.

  • Background on the Jackson Hole Symposium and its significance.
  • Speculation on possible outcomes from Powell’s address, including the impact on global and Indian markets.
  • Discussion on the potential for future rate cuts or steady rates based on recent Fed minutes.

7.Conclusion:

Recap of the day’s market performance.

The market session on Friday was on a cautious optimistic note wherein Sensex and Nifty added a marginal gain though volatility was marked by contradictory global signals.

The Sensex closed 33. 02 points higher at 81,086. Signed Securities Borrowing Agreement and Compliance Certificate 03/04/13 19/04/13 Malcom & George; Jacinta Alerts and Press Releases 07/04/13 14/04/13 Malcom & George; Jacinta Additional SEO Certificate 4518. 21, whereas the Nifty gained 11.

65 more to end up at 24,823. ” 15. Major Sectors which aided the indices were banking and telecom while IT stocks dragged due to unfavorable global circumstances.

Final thoughts on how Powell’s speech could influence market direction in the coming sessions.

Among other things, investors are now preparing for the speech of the head of the U. S. Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, at the Jackson Hole Symposium, and thus, the further trend of the market itself in the following sessions can not be predicted.

Some of the topics that could be covered in Powell’s address include the future monetary policy that the Fed is most likely to pursue and especially as it relates to interest rates.

A dovish tone at future meetings may continue to propel more gains in global and Indian markets by instigating investors to take risks but a hawkish stance may cause other markets to be cautious, thereby creating huge swings which might bring about great volatility and corrections in the markets.

Outlook for the near-term based on current market conditions and global economic indicators.

In the short run, direction of the Indian markets would mostly depend on global cues and we are waiting for Powell speech. On the positive side, the market has proved to be strong enough to withstand the onslaught of cautiousism that investors should note.

Given this, the risk management, which here has ranged from predictive to adaptive, will be important in case there are dramatic shifts in market conditions. Investors are encouraged to pay attention to the international events more so the outcomes of the conference held in Jackson Hole as they may predict the trends of the markets in the following weeks.
