💸 Market Transactions:

  • Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹5,907.97 crore

Strong DII buying cushioned the market, despite continued FII outflows.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • Markets remained in the red for the third straight session, driven by mixed global cues, geopolitical tensions (Russia-Ukraine), and a volatile currency market with a weak USD. Profit booking was evident across most sectors, except Realty, which gained on expectations of an RBI rate cut.

  • Midcaps and Smallcaps showed less consolidation than large caps, supported by better earnings growth and moderating premium valuations. While short-term consolidation may persist, domestically oriented players are expected to outperform amid external volatility.

  • Domestic macros remain supportive with a 7.2% Q4 GDP growth, better monsoon, and strong GST collections—focus on RBI’s upcoming policy for rate cut cues.

DO YOU KNOW?

The USD weakened to a 3-month low against the INR at 83.45 today, driven by expectations of a dovish Fed policy, boosting FII interest in emerging markets despite outflows.
