POST-MARKET SUMMARY 12th April 2024
On April 12, both the Sensex and Nifty benchmark indices plunged over 1%, driven by a widespread selloff. The drop in investor confidence was influenced by US CPI inflation data, which dashed hopes for a June rate cut and resulted in a surge in treasury bond yields. All sectoral indices concluded the day in negative territory. Nifty Pharma and Nifty Healthcare took the hardest hit, declining by 1.8% and 1.5%, respectively. Nifty Media, Nifty PSU Bank, and Nifty FMCG also closed more than 1% lower each.
NIFTY: The index opened 76 points lower at 22,677 and made a high of 22,726 before closing at 22,519. Nifty has formed a bearish candle on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 22,600 while immediate support is at 22,450.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened 315 points lower at 48,671 and closed at 48,564. Bank Nifty has formed a bearish candle with a long upper shadow on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 48,700 while support is at 48,400.
