Daily closing price, change and % change of benchmark indices.

At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 18,534.40 down by 0.53%

NSE Nifty 50 commenced trading at a diminished level and experienced a decrease of 0.53 percent throughout the day, concluding the session in a negative territory. Notably, the Nifty index settled below the 18550 mark.

Based on various economic indicators, the Indian economy is currently undergoing a strong rebound, resulting in an upward trajectory for domestic equity markets. However, this rally occasionally faces obstacles due to adverse signals from international counterparts, as witnessed today. Apprehensions regarding a potential recession and the possibility of interest rate increases in Western markets are impacting the domestic market, yet it continues to outperform despite these challenges.

In terms of sector performance, Realty emerged as the top gainer, recording an increase of 0.76%. Within this sector, Brigade Enterprises Limited observed a gain of 4.36%, Macrotech Developers Limited witnessed a gain of 3.73%, and Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited experienced a gain of 2.63%. On the other hand, Oil & Gas emerged as the top loser, with a decline of 1.26%. Within this sector, Adani Total Gas Limited registered a loss of 4.92%, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited saw a loss of 3.24%, and Aegis Logistics Limited suffered a loss of 2.21%.

As of 31st May 2023, Foreign Institutional Investors/Foreign Portfolio Investors (FII/FPI) recorded a Buy Value of 65,024.36 (Rs. Cr.) and a Sale Value of 61,618.46 (Rs. Cr.), resulting in a Net Value of 3,405.90 (Rs. Cr.). On the other hand, Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) reported a Buy Value of 11,726.46 (Rs. Cr.), a Sale Value of 14,254.98 (Rs. Cr.), and a Net Value of -2,528.52 (Rs. Cr.) during the same period.

Bank Nifty: Down by 0.69%

Bank Nifty demonstrated a bearish trend as it commenced in a negative position and experienced a decline of 0.69 percent, ultimately closing in the red at a value of 44,128.15. Likewise, the BSE Sensex exhibited a similar pattern, with a decrease of 0.55 percent, culminating in a red finish at a relatively low level of 62,622.24.

The financial markets experienced a wave of profit-taking, leading to a decline of more than half a percent, as they closely followed a combination of conflicting signals. Following an initial downward movement, the Nifty index remained predominantly bearish throughout the trading session. The sentiment was weighed down by downward pressure observed in the energy, banking, and metal sectors, while the pharma and realty sectors demonstrated resilience and closed with gains. Interestingly, despite the prevailing conditions, the broader indices displayed noticeable strength and recorded gains ranging from 0.4% to 1%. The presence of global headwinds, particularly emanating from the US markets, has contributed to intermittent volatility, yet the overall upward trend remains intact. Given the circumstances, it is advisable to prioritize position management while maintaining a positive outlook.

In light of the aforementioned scenario, it is prudent to adopt a strategic approach that emphasizes position management and upholds a favorable bias. By carefully monitoring and adjusting positions in accordance with market dynamics, investors can navigate the current environment effectively. While external factors from the global markets may introduce some volatility in the short term, the underlying upward trend should not be overlooked. Therefore, it is recommended to stay vigilant, maintain a positive mindset, and execute investment decisions in a manner that aligns with the prevailing market conditions.
