14:57 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 STT confusion after govt raises security transaction tax on F&O
Traders sought clarity on Friday after the government raised Securities and Transaction Tax (STT) on the sale of options from 0.017% to 0.021% as the markets discovered existing STT is already levied at a higher rate of 0.05%. The Finance Ministry is reportedly expected to issue a clarification note and said that it will check and make the required changes. As per the amendments to the Finance Bill, STT on the sale of options has been hiked to Rs 2,100 on a turnover of Rs 1 crore against an earlier applicable levy of Rs 1,700. On the sale of futures contracts, the STT has been hiked to Rs 1,250 on Rs 1 crore of turnover against the earlier levy of Rs 1,000. On the options side, the STT is charged on the premium and not the strike price.

11:07 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Nifty support at 17000-16850; Bank Nifty support at 39250-39000
“Nifty has good support at 17000 followed by 16850, whereas Bank Nifty has support at 39250 followed by 39000. It will be a crucial day for our benchmarks as its weekly close and nifty and bank nifty both have a doji formation on weekly charts till today, resembling indecisiveness. BOE raised interest rates by 0.25% which will also have an effect on today’s market,” said Ameya Ranadive, Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
11:05 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Today downsides will have upper hand
“Though we were clear on not expecting a vertical fall, we had talked up the prospects of distribution happening yesterday, having almost abandoned the 17470 upsidemove which we had so eagerly played since late last week. The inability to close above 17080, our turnaround point for yesterday, adds more weight to this stance. Today downsides will obviously have the upper hand, but cautious upside bets may be tried either on the first test of 16980 or on push above 17110,” said Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
11:03 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Long-term investors can buy high quality stocks
“The steady decline in bond yields, across tenors, in the US reflect the market perception that interest rates are near peaks. The Fed is likely to pause, after perhaps one more 25 bp rate hike, and if the disinflation trend continues on expected lines, the FOMC may cut rates by end 2023 or early 2024. A lot will depend on the extent of slowdown in the US economy. If a hard landing of the US economy is avoided, equity markets will bounce back. The ongoing stress in the US banking system is a short-term challenge, but a long-term opportunity for equity investors. Market corrections triggered by negative news from the US can be used by long-term investors to buy high quality stocks, which will bounce back once interest rates start trending down,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
09:40 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Bank Nifty support at 38900-39100

09:40 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Bank Nifty likely to trade in range of 39000-40000

09:39 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Nifty failed to clear 17210, indicating further weakness
“Nifty once again failed to clear the short-term resistance of 17210. The index has also formed a double top formation on intraday charts, indicating further weakness from the current levels. For the bulls, 17050-17000 would act as important support zones while 17200-17250 could be key resistance areas for the short-term traders. However, below 16950, the uptrend would be vulnerable,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd.

09:39 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Nifty to resume pullback over next few trading sessions
“On the daily charts, we can observe that 17180 – 17210 acted as a stiff resistance and was unable to surpass it. On the hourly charts, we can observe that the Bollinger bands are contracting to indicate rangebound price action. The hourly momentum indicator has a negative crossover which also indicates range price action before it starts a new cycle. We believe that this fall is a retracement of the rise from 16828 – 17207. Overall, we expect the Nifty to hold on to the support zone of 17020 – 16970 and resume the pullback over the next few trading sessions. on the upside, the initial hurdle is placed at 17180 – 17210. Beyond this, it has the potential to 17315 – 17430,” said Jatin Gedia, Technical Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

09:15 (IST) 24 Mar 2023 Nifty need to break beyond 17200-17250 if bulls want to regain conviction
“If bulls have to regain conviction, Nifty need to break beyond the sturdy wall of 17200-17250. Until then, prices may continue to see lethargic moves, with support seen around the 17000 mark. If the US market weakens further, the sacrosanct support of 17000 will be in jeopardy. In this case, the next key level to watch out for would be around the recent lows of 16850,” said Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst at Angel One Ltd.
