The Nifty 50 index continued to witness selling pressure and ended the week on a negative note. The trend remains negative in the near term and closes above 16400 and will only resume the uptrend. The downside support is placed at 15600-15500 levels and if fails to sustain above this will witness further correction.

Market view: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

High domestic inflation data failed to spook investors since the recent selloff has already absorbed the ongoing uncertainties in the market. Domestic markets witnessed a rebound as buyers took the recent correction into their advantage following the trend of the global market. However, the weakness seen in the banking sector triggered a late selloff. The US Fed cautioned against an aggressive policy stance in order to bring inflation under the Fed’s comfort zone of 2%.
