Share Market HIGHLIGHTS: Sensex rebounds 503 pts from day's low, Nifty settles at 17,754; ITC, ICICI Bank lead recovery
Share Market HIGHLIGHTS: Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty50 recovered intraday losses in the second half of a volatile session on Wednesday, that began with a gap-down start owing to negative global cues, as investors returned to trade after a mid-week holiday for Holi. The Indian stock market tracked weakness across major markets around the globe on Wednesday morning after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his testimony to Congress the US central bank will likely need to hike interest rates more than previously expected. However, mild gains in European markets, shrugging off weakness in their major Asian peers, as well as Dow Jones futures aided investor sentiment on Dalal Street.
Buying interest in financial, FMCG and auto shares aided the rebound in India in afternoon daels, though selling pressure in IT stocks limited the upside.
The India VIX — also known in market parlance as the fear index — finished 1.5 per cent higher ta 12.5, after rising to as high as 12.9 in intraday trade.
Broader indices Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 0.5 per cent and 0.2 per cent respectively.
Overall market breadth was skewed in favour of the bulls, with an advance-decline ratio of 6:5 as 1,862 stocks rose and 1,617 fell at the close on BSE.
Anil Singhvi market view
Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi believes the short-term bottom remains intact for the Nifty50 at 17,250-17,350 levels. Read more on how Anil Singhvi views the market and what he recommends
Global market update: European markets began the day in the red, mirroring the trend across much of Asia, with the pan-continent Stoxx 600 index quoting 1.4 per cent lower at the last count.
Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite futures were up 0.1-0.2 per cent, suggesting a mildly positive start ahead on Wall Street.
Data released on Tuedsay following Powell's remarks showed an unexpected rise in inflation in January 2023 and an unusually large jobs gain for the month, fuelling concerns about sharper-for-longer hikes in interest rates. The Fed Chair will again speak on Wednesday.
