16:39 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Nifty’s next key support at psychological 18001 mark
“Stocks at Dalal Street went for a toss, along with other global markets, as there is chatter all across the globe that the Fed may not change its hawkish tune so soon. The dot plot showed that the terminal rate projection rose to 5.1% from 4.6% in September. Inflation remains a key concern and the central banks across the globe will try hard to fight against it. Technically, Nifty’s next key support is seen at the psychological 18001 mark, while the immediate hurdle is at 18697 mark.”

16:04 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Markets extended their rout
“Global markets extended their rout as the ECB and BoE followed the Fed in raising policy rates by half a percent while maintaining a hawkish tone on inflation. The aggressiveness of central banks in combating inflation has raised concerns about the global economy’s health. Despite attempts to recoup losses, a lack of global support pushed the indices back into negative territory.”

14:47 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Is real estate set for success in 2023?
“Due to the expected forthcoming stability and increased demand, it appears that the Indian real estate market will continue to experience strong and positive momentum in FY23. A positive economic outlook will aid in the market’s growth. As rating agencies predict a growth of 8% to 9%, the expansion of commercial operations, strengthening of the labor market, and rising income levels, all point towards increasing demand for housing. In 2022, the sector’s growth was driven by the luxury market, and this pattern is expected to continue in 2023 as well. Larger, high-end properties will experience higher demand, owing to the rising trend of WFH and hybrid working models.”

10:30 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Nifty outlook
“While offering little or no visibility on the upside prospects for the last few days, we had been systematically pointing towards the extent of downsides that were to follow. We would soon be entering the 18,300-100 band which we had marked down yesterday. This region has the potential to either cool down the nerves, or to set off a powerful plunge that could revive talks of 16,800 again. However, the favoured view expects a pull back towards 18,480-520 region first, performance at which region would be crucial for setting further moves. A collapse is not the most favoured outcome though.”

09:11 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Near term risk aversion in global markets
“There is a near term risk aversion in global equity markets. Following the 50 bp rate hike and hawkish message from the Fed on 14th the ECB and BoE also hiked rates on 15th by 50 bps each and delivered, perhaps, a more hawkish message than the Fed. Other central banks like the Swiss National Bank and Bank of Thailand also have raised rates. This synchronised rate hiking cycle has impacted sentiments leading to sharp cuts of more than 3% in Nasdaq, CAC and DAX. India is likely to be less impacted by the bearish trend but investors can wait for the global markets to stabilise before making fresh commitments in this overvalued market. Moving some money to fixed income makes sense since fixed income returns are turning attractive.”

While exports barely rose in November, imports posted a 5.4% rise to $55.88 billion.
08:44 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Domestic markets could start lower
Weak global equities is indicating a rough start for local markets as the theme still revolves around the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s hawkish stance on interest rates going ahead. Another concern is the rupee has been gaining strength against the dollar at a rapid pace, which could prompt global investors to pull out money from the local equity markets resulting in a downward spiral. For traders, sell between 18475-18500 zones with targets at 18345 and 18127.

08:11 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Technical view
“A long bear candle was formed on the daily chart on Thursday, post small upside bounce of few sessions. Technically, this pattern indicates a sharp downward reversal in the market after the formation of lower top on Wednesday at 18696 levels. This is not a good sign and indicates more weakness in the short term.
The short term trend of Nifty seems to have reversed down after a small pull back rally recently. The immediate support is placed at 18350 levels and a move below this support could drag index down to the next support of around 18150-18100 levels in the short term. Immediate resistance is placed at 18550 levels.”
– Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities
08:10 (IST) 16 Dec 2022 Bank Nifty view
“The Bank Nifty index witnessed the first big sell-off after a spectacular rally in the past 2 months. The index to resume the uptrend once again will have to surpass the hurdle of 44,000 on a closing basis. The index remains in a sell-on-rise mode and if the follow-up selling continues it can drag the index toward the 43,000-42,800 zone. The selling was seen across the board which has impacted the overall breadth of the markets.”
