The dominant trend impacting the near-term texture of the market is the sustained selling by FIIs for the eleventh time this month. There is selling even in bluechip names like HDFC Bank, that too, after impressive Q3 results. The simple logic behind sustained FII selling is that India is the only large market where FIIs are still sitting on good profits after the disastrous 2022 performance in most global markets. FIIs are playing it safe by moving money to cheaper markets where there is valuation comfort. The sustained FII selling has turned the near-term structure of the market weak. The best investment strategy in the present weak market would be to systematically buy high quality large-caps in performing sectors like banking, capital goods, telecom and construction-related segments. Soon, India’s strong fundamentals will bring cheer to the market.

Nifty outlook by Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
The turn lower without breaching 18100, and the subsequent fall back below 17960 forced us to abandon the positive stance that we had taken for yesterday. Nevertheless, the slippages not having breached 17800, we will start the day on a neutral stance, with expectation of swings on either side. We will continue to view 17960 as pivot for the day to choose sides, but will wait for a breach of the 17800-18100 band for directional plays.
