Mid-market view | Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research

Indian benchmark indices were trading moderately lower on Thursday morning trades, fluctuating between gains and losses due to a sluggish trend in Asian peers and foreign investment outflow. Traders became concerned when India's manufacturing activity fell for the first time in 11 months in June, as cautious consumer attitude in the aftermath of the disastrous second wave of the coronavirus pandemic drove firms to cut factory output. Despite states loosening lockdown rules, the contraction occurred. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 set a new closing high for the fifth consecutive day, as investors mostly ignored the strong economic data and focused on Friday's highly anticipated employment report. Asian markets were trading mostly in red as investors continue to take a cautious route over the concerns of a new virus in the area.

 

We witnessed an attempt to hold the Nifty 50 index support level of 15670-15700. 15650 will be an important level in the short term for the market to stay positive. We expect a recovery from these level till the level of 15900.
