Share Market: The beginning of Tuesday was nothing special for the stock market. The Indian stock market appeared to be under pressure due to continuous selling by foreign investors and weak global signals. Both Sensex and Nifty fell into the red in early trading, which increased the concern of investors. BSE’s 30-share Sensex fell 363.92 points to 84,849.44 in early trade. At the same time, NSE’s Nifty fell by 106.65 points and slipped to the level of 25,920.65. The effect of this market weakness was clearly visible on many big stocks.

trying to recover

Among Sensex companies, shares like Axis Bank, HCL Tech, Infosys, Tata Steel, Bharat Electronics and Eternal saw the biggest decline. However, some stocks also tried to control the market. Shares like Bharti Airtel, Asian Paints, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Titan registered early gains. The trend of Asian markets was also similar. South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225, China’s Shanghai SSE Composite and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng all witnessed weakness. Earlier on Monday, American markets also closed with a negative trend, which affected the Asian and Indian markets today.

Investors’ concerns

A major reason for concern for investors is the continuous selling by foreign investors (FIIs). According to exchange data, on Monday, FIIs sold shares worth Rs 1,468.32 crore. However, domestic investors (DIIs) provided some support to the market by purchasing Rs 1,792.25 crore. However, Wall Street indices closed lower ahead of economic data such as non-farm payrolls, retail sales and inflation data. Apart from this, there is caution in Asian markets regarding the monetary policy meeting of the Bank of Japan this week.

rupee weakness

Weakness of rupee and continuous selling by FIIs remain a challenge for the market. However, strong participation from domestic investors and retailers is saving the market from a major decline. Experts say that at present the market may be seen revolving around important technical levels instead of any major trend. Here, a softening of crude oil prices was also seen. Global benchmark Brent crude fell 0.54 percent to $ 60.23 per barrel, which is a relief for an importer country like India.

Monday’s situation

A slight decline was recorded in the market on Monday also. Sensex fell 54.30 points to close at 85,213.36, while Nifty fell 19.65 points to close at 26,027.30. That is, the movement of rupee, activity of foreign investors and FIIs will continue to play an important role in deciding the direction of the market in the coming days. Investors are currently being advised to be cautious and avoid taking hasty decisions.
