Here are the share market highlights:
The Bank Nifty continued to witness a tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears and the index formed a Doji candle on the daily chart. The index lower-end support stands at 42000 where the higher open interest is built up on the put side which will act as a line of defense for the bulls. The bears are forming a grip around the 42,500-42,600 zone and if breached on the upside will lead to a sharp short covering move towards 43,500-44,000 levels.
BSE 500 stocks such as Bandhan Bank, Delhivery, GlaxosmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd, IndiGo Paints, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, Quess Corp, Sanofi, SIS Ltd, Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd, Sudarshan Chemical and Voltas hit their 52-week lows today.
The sharp decline in crude prices is a huge positive for the domestic economy. However, the market did not respond favourably due to stronger headwinds from the global market. The prospect of a prolonged tightening cycle by the US Federal Reserve and the Chinese Covid restrictions affected the world market. Along with other major sectors, metal stocks traded with cuts despite the government's decision to remove export duty on iron and steel.
BSE 500 stocks such as Bank of India, Bharti Airtel, Central Bank of India, Escorts, Great Eastern Shipping Co, IIFL, Indian Bank, JB Chemicals & Pharma, Bank of Maharashtra, PNB, Punjab & Sind Bank, Timken, UCO Bank and Union Bank hit their 52-week highs today.
The trend looks a bit weak with a rounding top formation on the daily timeframe. The bearish crossover in RSI with a negative divergence suggests weak momentum. Going forward, 18,100 may provide immediate support below which the index may drift down towards 17,750. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 18,200/18,450.
