Reason for market decline
US GDP figures were lower than expected. Inflation has also increased, supporting the US Federal Reserve's announcement of no rate cuts this year. As a result, foreign investment is being withdrawn from the equity markets. Yesterday, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) recorded sales of Rs 2823.33 crore from the Indian capital market. However, domestic institutional investors (DII) invested Rs. The market is getting support of Rs 6167.56 crore.
Locally, profit-booking was seen in banking, financial services and telecom stocks. Movement is being seen in the shares based on the quarterly results. Important technical indicators suggest that the resistance levels for Nifty are 22623- 22699 and 22821 points. Technical analysts are advising to keep in mind the support levels of 22378- 22302 and 22180 points.
