At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 19,331.80 down by 0.85%
On Friday, the markets experienced profit-taking activities, resulting in a decline of nearly one percent. This downward movement can be attributed to the influence of weak global cues. Although there was an initial attempt by the Nifty to recover, the pressure exerted by major index constituents from various sectors eventually pushed the index lower as the day unfolded.
NSE Nifty 50 commenced the trading session on a bearish note, experiencing a significant decline of 0.85 percent throughout the day, ultimately concluding in the negative territory. The index remained persistently below the 19350 mark, reflecting a downward trend in the market.
The domestic market experienced profit-booking activities as the impact of weakening global markets reverberated. The decline in global equities, triggered by a surge in US bond yields, played a significant role in influencing market sentiment. This spike in bond yields was fueled by the market’s anticipation of a prolonged period of high-interest rates, following a notable upsurge in US private payroll data. The combined effect of these factors resulted in the market succumbing to profit-booking, as investors reacted to the heat waves emanating from the weak global market conditions.
Bank Nifty: Down by 0.92%
The Bank Nifty commenced the trading session with a decline as it opened on a lower note, experiencing a substantial decrease of 0.92 percent throughout the day. Ultimately, the index closed in the negative territory at a value of 44,925.00. Similarly, the BSE Sensex followed a similar trajectory, recording a decline of 0.77 percent and concluding the day in the red zone at a low value of 65,280.45.
In Friday’s trading session, the majority of sectors witnessed a decline, with FMCG, realty, and energy sectors emerging as the top losers. This decline effectively nullified the bullish momentum observed on Thursday, indicating the likelihood of a consolidation phase for the Nifty index in the near future. During such consolidation periods, managing positions becomes crucial as volatility swings are commonly observed. Traders and investors should remain vigilant and adopt appropriate strategies to navigate through this phase of market consolidation.

The Indian rupee displayed weakness in its trading, as it slipped below the 82.72 mark, experiencing a decline of 0.28 rupees. Market participants are carefully assessing the potential negative repercussions of forthcoming interest rate hikes. Additionally, factors such as the strength of the US dollar and the upward trajectory of crude oil prices, supported by OPEC’s production cuts, are contributing to the overall weakness observed in the rupee. These elements are being closely monitored by market participants as they navigate the currency’s performance in the current market conditions.
Despite the prevailing pressure on the Indian rupee, the strength exhibited by the domestic capital market played a role in curbing the extent of its decline. However, profit booking activities witnessed in the broad market indices added additional downward pressure on the rupee. As the currency faces these challenges, it is anticipated to find support in the range of 82.90-83.00. This support level may provide some respite from further depreciation and potentially assist in stabilizing the currency’s value.
