Last week I mentioned that Nifty, Sensex may remain under pressure. On Monday the market was closed on account of Gurunanak Jayanti. Today, the market opened marginally lower compared to Friday’s close but immediately traded sharply lower. It mad a feeble effort to recover mid-morning but the selling was relentless. At the close of the session it slipped further and closed near the day’s low. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Rupee depreciation on the back of strong dollar and low crude oil prices, foreign fund outflows and an anxiety over the impact of the demonetisation move plunged the equity market today. Heavy selling pressure was witnessed in automobile, banking and metals stocks. Two out of the three major indices closed day’s trade with losses of about 2 percent each. Except for IT index all the indices closed in red. In terms of BSE listed stocks, 2,354 declined whereas 346 stocks made advances. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

The most affected were the midcap index and the smallcap index ending 3.71% and 4.45% lower. The Asian Markets were also broadly in negative. The equity markets were not able to recover from the last weeks huge falls after investor’s sentiment was eroded. 

The Indian Rupee weakened by 48 paise to 67.74 against a US dollar from its previous close of 67.26 a dollar. Furthermore investors remained cautious ahead of the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures, which could influence the Reserve Bank of India’s rate decision during its early December meet.

Lower than expected wholesale price index (WPI) data released by the Commerce and Industry Ministry gave little or no respite from heavy selling pressure. India’s annual rate of inflation based on wholesale prices fell marginally to 3.39% for October from 3.57% for the month before.

Chief Market Strategist, Anand James of Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services said that “There is a downward pressure on liquidity following the demonetisation drive in the economy. The Indian equity markets have witnessed an outflow of over Rs 7,000 crore in the last few days”

FII sold stocks worth Rs2353.82 crore and the domestic institutional investors divested scrips worth Rs104.83 crore. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
