Nifty slides while waiting for the US Fed meeting outcome

Nifty falls 40 points amid mixed global cues and continued FII/FPI outflows. The indecisiveness continues as the investors wait for the US Fed meeting outcome. It was a dull market with low volumes waiting for the US Fed meeting outcome.

Investors expect a 50-basis-point increase at the US Fed meeting, though, it appears that the market has already priced in a 75-basis-point rate hike.

For the fourth day in a row, equity benchmark indices were down.

Nifty recorded an intraday high of 15784 and a low of 15679. The gap between the high and low prices was 105, the lowest in the last 7 days, making it an NR7 day.

Furthermore, the Nifty is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages. On the other hand, the Nifty Bank was marginally up by 28 points or 0.08 percent.
