Stock Market News: On Tuesday, the Nifty 50 and Sensex, the key domestic indices, started the day without significant changes as the market underwent a phase of consolidation following a shift in focus by foreign investors towards other Asian markets such as China and Hong Kong.

The Nifty 50 index saw a slight decrease of 22.40 points or 0.09%, opening at 25,788 points, while the Sensex opened at 84,257, showing a decline of 42 points or 0.05%.

Experts in the market have observed that the redirection of funds from Indian markets to other Asian markets has resulted in a period of consolidation in the Indian stock market.

The unprecedented volatility in stock markets is evident in yesterday’s 4.8% collapse in the Nikkei index and the 8% jump in the Shanghai Composite Index, according to Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. It is expected that this high volatility will shortly stabilize.

Massive capital inflows into Chinese equities have been sparked by the anticipated revival in the Chinese economy. In the previous five days, this has produced 20% gains in the Shanghai Composite, and in the last month, it has produced 19.45% returns in the Hang Seng. FIIs are drawn to this momentum, but it’s unclear how long this tactical trade will endure.

Market Review and Outlook – Ruchit Jain, Lead Research Analyst at 5paisa

Nifty 50 started the week on a negative note as the correction in some of the Asian bourses had a rub off effect on our markets. The index traded with a negative bias throughout the day and ended just above 25,800 with a loss of about 370 points.

The large cap stocks witnessed profit booking which led to a sharp correction in the benchmark indices at the start of the week. The FII’s had ‘long heavy’ positions in the index futures segment with over 80 percent positions on the long side and the RSI readings on the charts were in overbought zone post the recent run up. Such a combination usually leads to a contra trend move and thus, we witnessed the same on Monday. The immediate support for Nifty 50 is placed in the range of 25,750-25,700 which will be important to watch, if this gets breached then we could see the retracement towards 25,520 and 25,340. In case of a pullback move, resistance will be seen around 26,000-26,100.
