Market Outlook

Indian equities are likely to open with a cautious tone following yesterday's negative close for NIFTY 50 and SENSEX, primarily dragged by a significant decline in the IT sector. While Foreign Institutional Investors were net sellers, strong Domestic Institutional Investor buying provided a substantial counter. Traders should monitor initial IT sector performance and the sustainability of domestic institutional support.

Key Takeaways

  • NIFTY 50 and SENSEX both closed down by over 0.6%.
  • NIFTY IT was the biggest laggard, declining 2.51%, with INFY.NS and HCLTECH.NS among top losers.
  • NIFTY Pharma (+0.28%) and NIFTY Auto (+0.08%) showed minor gains, indicating some sectoral resilience.
  • Market breadth was negative with 12 advances against 45 declines.
  • FIIs were net sellers of 3111.94cr, while DIIs were strong net buyers of 8930.12cr.
  • India VIX stood at 11.285, suggesting relatively low implied volatility.
