| Index | Price | Change | % Chg |
| NIFTY 50 | 18,563.40 | -71.15 | -0.38% |

At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 18,563.40 down by 0.38%
Today, the NSE Nifty 50 index commenced on a bullish note, witnessing a significant surge in its opening value. However, as the day progressed, it experienced a decline of 0.38 percent and concluded in the bearish territory. Notably, the Nifty index plummeted below the crucial support level of 18600.
The domestic market has been under significant selling pressure for an extended period, primarily due to investor anticipation of the upcoming domestic inflation data, which is scheduled for release on Monday. This anticipation has been further fueled by the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) cautious stance, as they have refrained from making aggressive inflation forecast cuts.
Despite this, market participants remain optimistic about a potential further moderation in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for May, which currently stands at 4.7%. However, global cues have added to the market’s lack of support, with the United States reporting elevated unemployment claims ahead of the inflation figures and the Federal Reserve meeting.
Sectorial front, the Realty sector emerged as the slight top gainer with a marginal increase of 0.04%. Within this sector, MACROTECH DEVELOPERS LIMITED experienced a gain of 3.59%, PRESTIGE ESTATES PROJECTS LIMITED gained by 1.62%, and SOBHA LIMITED recorded a gain of 0.24%. However, the remaining sectors closed in the red zone. In particular, the FMCG sector was the top loser with a decline of 0.92%. Within this sector, GODREJ CONSUMER PRODUCTS LIMITED experienced a loss of 2.43%, MARICO LIMITED recorded a decline of 2.28%, and EMAMI LIMITED witnessed a decrease of 1.76%.
Bank Nifty: Down by 0.01%
Bank Nifty commenced its trading session on a positive note, displaying a green opening, but ultimately experienced a slight decline of 0.01 percent and concluded in the red, settling at a value of 43,989.00. Correspondingly, the BSE Sensex witnessed a decrease of 0.35 percent and reached a low point of 62,625.63 before closing in the negative territory.
Currently, the Bank Nifty index is experiencing a downward trend as the bears have taken control at higher levels. The resistance zone, ranging from 44,300 to 44,500, has proven to be a formidable obstacle, hindering any significant upward momentum in the index. However, there is a support level at 43,700 that could potentially provide a buying opportunity for investors.
Foreign Institutional Investors/Foreign Portfolio Investors (FII/FPI) recorded a buy value of 13,631.62 crore rupees and a sale value of 13,940.59 crore rupees, resulting in a net value of -308.97 crore rupees. Similarly, Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) registered a buy value of 6,234.12 crore rupees and a sale value of 4,988.61 crore rupees on the same date, leading to a net value of 1,245.51 crore rupees.

Buzz
The Indian rupee demonstrated minimal fluctuations, remaining within a narrow trading range of 82.41-82.52. This was due to the anticipation of the upcoming US interest rate decision, which was eagerly awaited by market participants.
The fluctuation of crude oil prices has had a significant impact on the range-bound movement of the rupee. Additionally, the depreciation of the dollar index has provided support to the rupee, enabling it to remain above the critical threshold of 82.50.
It is important to note that the relationship between crude oil prices and the rupee is complex and multifaceted. As a net importer of crude oil, India is heavily dependent on global oil prices. Any significant changes in the price of crude oil can have a ripple effect on the Indian economy, including the value of the rupee.
Furthermore, the depreciation of the dollar index has been a contributing factor to the rupee’s stability. As the dollar weakens, other currencies, including the rupee, tend to strengthen. This trend has helped to bolster the rupee’s position in the global market.
Advance Decline Ratio
Today, the advance-decline ratio was 0.80, and the market breadth was negative. The volatility index India Vix decreased by 1.22 percent to settle at 11.12 and the FIIs were net sellers today.
