Weekly Market Analysis for Sep 09-13, 2024
Nifty's 14-day rally ends; FII & DII net buyers despite fall; Negative Global Cues and much more...
What happened last week?
Nifty opened the week higher at 25333, but it dropped by almost 500 points to close at 24852.
Nifty witnessed a sharp selling after a 14-day rally. Surprisingly both FIIs and DIIs were net buyers last week. Even on Friday fall, FIIs did not sell significantly and DIIs bought.
As I mentioned in earlier weeks, the 24870 zone is key. It has acted as support and resistance multiple times. If the price goes below the 24870 zone, we might see a fall towards 24300.
On the sectoral front…
FMCG and Pharma continued steady performance indicating their defensive nature.
Also, crude oil prices are falling, benefitting sectors such as Paints, OMCs, Pharma, Tyres etc.
PSU Banks sink another 4% last week.
On the global front…
all markets closed in red.
Nasdaq was down by 4.7% due to a sharp drop in NVIDIA.
The US showed weak jobs data. Also, with the upcoming Fed Policies and US Elections, there seems to be uncertainty.
Japan plunged 5%.
Let us now dive deeper into FII DII data.
FIIs bought ₹2430 Cr and DIIs bought ₹7442 Cr in the cash market.
FIIs have turned bearish last week. They have short positions in Index Derivatives and have significantly reduced their longs in Stock Derivatives.
DIIs have increased their hedges significantly. They seem to be extremely cautious. They added to their hedges despite Friday’s fall. So, they are expecting a further fall.
Participant’s View on Nifty in the Short Term…
Nifty Price and Max Pain started falling on Sep 4 much before the big fall on Sep 6. That was an indication to exit longs. Nifty is Bearish in the short term.
If you look at the Monthly Max Pain trend of Nifty below,
you can see that Max Pain (pink line) has remained stable. Positional traders still think price will trade around 25000 for a while. They have neither become bullish nor bearish in recent days. They are holding on.
Let us look at key India-specific developments.
India's Manufacturing PMI fell to 57.5 in August 2024. Manufacturing sector saw slower but robust growth in orders and output.
India's Services PMI reached a five-month high of 60.9 in August 2024, marking 38 straight months of growth driven by increased new business, productivity gains, and strong demand.
