“IT stocks are under pressure due to worries about US markets and turbulence in the banking industry. The markets are thinking that this fallout from banks might further soften or lower tech spends by banks over the short term, which can lead to re-rating the sector outlook.

“We believe that the pullback is not yet complete and we expect it to continue over the next few trading sessions.

08:53 (IST) 23 Mar 2023 Outlook on US Fed rate hike
“U.S. stocks finished sharply lower in volatile trade on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by another 25 basis points, while noting that policymakers weren’t penciling in rate cuts this year. The decisions came despite recent stress in the banking industry following the collapse of two U.S. regional banks. He also acknowledged the central bank will raise rates even higher if they “need to.” The Fed acknowledged turmoil in the banking sector could slow the already fragile economy. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said at a congressional hearing on Wednesday that she’s not considering a broad increase in deposit insurance.”

08:51 (IST) 23 Mar 2023 Markets may witness cautious start
“Markets may witness a cautious start with the bias tilted towards bears amid weakness in the overnight US markets after the Fed increased interest rate by 25 bps, which came as per the street expectations. However, most of the Asian gauges are exhibiting firmness on Fed softening its stance and signalling that there may only be one more rate hike by the end of this year. Local traders are worried about the persisting selling by the overseas investors, which has been creating a lot of uncertainty.”

08:49 (IST) 23 Mar 2023 Nifty short term trend remains positive; Immediate support at 17020
“The short term trend of Nifty remains positive. But, the market is not gaining momentum through the hurdle.

Immediate support is at 17020 level,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
08:48 (IST) 23 Mar 2023 Demand for INR may be seen
“The Fed did raise rates by 25bps as expected but the Fed dropped the forward guidance, mentioning that “some additional policy firming may be appropriate”, instead of “ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate”. I would consider this as a dovish hike. DXY dropped towards 102.50 levels, which itself is a minor support, following 101.80 (February 02nd low). Consolidation may continue with DXY while trajectory may only change above 200 day SMA at 106.60 levels. Considering March year end, some demand for INR may be seen. For USDINR, for March 81.80 acts as a support while 82.80 a resistance.”
