*The Week That Was @ 7:30 AM – Saturday, November 16th 2024*

November 11th to November 15th 2024.

Nifty receives fresh drubbing and dips below its 200 DMA.

The Big Question: What’s Next?

Nifty (-2.55%, 23533)
Sensex (-2.40%, 77580)

 

# Strictly speaking, Nifty is vulnerable to more downside as bears hunt for more downside targets.

# Nifty was seen struggling in all the 4-trading sessions of the week gone by as the post-election Donald Trump’s victory rally lost steam.

# Anxiety and nervousness also prevailed in the wake of:

1) Rising US bond yields. (The yield on the 2-year Treasury note was up to 4.367%. The 10-year yield was up to 4.472%).

2) Wall Street seen struggling to find another positive catalyst.

3) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is in no rush to cut rates citing the economy’s strength, a solid labor market, and persistent inflationary pressures.

4) Scorching WPI inflation in India.

5) Increased skepticism about Corporate India’s Q2 earnings disappointment.

6) Record exodus from the Foreign Institutional Investors. (FIIs have pulled out a record Rs 1.2 lakh crore from Dalal Street since Nifty hit its peak at 26277 mark on September 27th. In the week gone by, FIIs sold to the tune of Rs. 9683 crores).

7) Maharashtra Assembly polls to be held in a single phase on November 20. Jharkhand polls next phase polls on November 20th. (Counting of votes for the two states will take place on November 23).

# Long Story Short: The ongoing pessimism at Dalal Street is such that in the near term going forward there will be absolutely be no place to run and no place to hide and it could look as if the sky was falling.
