Zee Business Stock, Trading Guide: Things to Know Before Market Opens on 23rd August 2022

Stock market started the week on a weaker note with the equity benchmarks -- Sensex and Nifty -- crashing around 1.50 per cent. The BSE Sensex ended at 58,773.87, down by 872.28 points or 1.46 per cent while the 50-share Nifty50 settled at 17,490.70, tumbling 267.75 points or 1.51 per cent.

Zee Business Managing Editor Anil SInghvi said that the weakness was largely imported with very little to do with the domestic reasons. The domestic markets took cues from the US markets which exhibited weakness more than expected. Another reason was the strength of Dollar Index (DXY) which has an inverse relationship with the equity markets, the Market Guru said. The third reason was the bond yields which were around 3 per cent in the US.

In the domestic markets, the Nifty50 closing below 17800 on Friday was the first sign of weakness, the Managing Editor said. The Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) did a significant selling in the futures market while the Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) also booked profits.

Both Nifty50 and Bank Nifty slipped from crucial support levels. There was selling pressure in indices as well as in small cap and mid cap stocks.

10 Things to watch out when markets reopen on Tuesday: 

1) Market Expert Sudip Bandopadhya Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Group Chairman at Indi trade Capital-JRG: There isn’t any big trigger for the domestic markets. The earnings season is behind us. Markets are looking for fresh triggers and they are from the global markets. The risk aversion is back with rising bond yields, strengthening USD. All this is weakening the equity markets. The pressure is likely to continue even on Tuesday and we could see volatility, he added.

2) The momentum in Tuesday trading session will depend upon high US markets end on Monday, Singhvi said. The Monday closing levels of Nifty50 and Bank Nifty are important levels and are make or break levels, he added.

3) The next support level for Nifty50 will be 17425 and 17350 while the resistance will be 17625 and 17700.

4) As for Bank Nifty, the support is between 38150 and 38025. The weakness will increase at levels below 38000. If Bank Nifty crosses the 38500 level, an upside will open for levels between 38650 and 38850. Profit booking will be seen at these levels, Singhvi said.

5) Tomorrow’s session will be a make or break session.
