27/02/26, intraday news


The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty traded lower on Friday, as a U.S. tech selloff and subdued Asian cues kept sentiment restrained ahead of a local GDP print later in the day.

At around 9:30 PM, the Sensex was down 352.30 points or 0.43 percent to 81,896.31, while the broader Nifty declined to 25,382.60, down 113.95 points or 0.45 percent.

Key factors behind market decline

1) Weak global cues: The benchmark S&P 500 and European equities finished lower as investors digested another blowout quarter from Nvidia — the world's most valuable company — yet remained uneasy about its valuation even as the chipmaker forecast first-quarter revenue of $78 billion. Tech heavy asian indices fell in tandem with the NASDAQ

2) FII selling: FIIs sold Rs 3,465.99 crore on Thursday, which further dented the market sentiments.

3) India Vix rises: The fear gauge or the volatility index rose nearly 3 percent to 13.44 level, indicating higher uncertainity among market participants.

Technical outlook

Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Investments, said "The repeated hammering on successive days from key upside pivots is disappointing. However, the base has held firm all these days, leading to a triangle formation, encouraging us to keep the upside hopes alive. We will continue to look for a break of 25670 to confirm strength, in order to aim for 25900. Swings on either sides of 25530 may be expected, but we will wait for a fall below 25300 to switch sides."
