Positional traders are advised to create fresh shorts on a breach of 11950 levels on a closing basis and look for a target of 11770.
Indian market consolidated for the second day in a row on February 10 largely weighed by concerns around Coronavirus. The Nifty50 bounced back after hitting crucial support near 12,000 while the S&P BSE Sensex closed below 41,000.
Let’s look at the final tally on D-Street on February 10 – the S&P BSE Sensex fell 162 points to 40,979 while the Nifty50 closed 66 points lower at 12,031 on Monday.
Sectorally, S&P BSE Metal, Auto, Power, Consumer Durables and Public Sector indices were under pressure.
A mixed performance was seen from the broader market as the S&P BSE Midcap index fell 0.78 percent while the S&P BSE Smallcap index was largely in line with benchmark indices, down 0.43 percent.
At a time when benchmark indices retested crucial support levels more than 100 stocks on the BSE hit their fresh 52-week high that includes names like MRF, Abbott India, Bajaj Finance, SRF, Info Edge, Avenue Supermarts, Divis Laboratories, Pidilite Industries, and JK Cement.
Going forward, markets would take cues from the outcome of the Delhi Assembly elections on Tuesday as well as macro data around inflation will be important to watch out for, suggest experts. Globally, any adverse developments with respect to Coronavirus will have a rub-off effect on Indian markets.
"Market is feeling coronavirus jitter which will add volatility in the short-term. Companies with high exposure to the Chinese market either in terms of export or import have some impact,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services Ltd said.
“Series of macro data will be released during this week like CPI & WPI inflation and IIP data. Consensus is showing a rise in inflation to 7.4% in January influenced by food prices while expecting some stability in IIP for December,” he said.
Nair further added that during this current short term uncertainties investors are likely to wait for some consolidation in quality mid-caps"
