POST-MARKET SUMMARY 15 June 2023
After a three-day streak of gains, the market reversed its momentum today with Nifty ending below 18,700. The downturn was triggered by a hawkish statement from the US Federal Reserve, which suggested the likelihood of two additional interest rate hikes by end of the year. This announcement unsettled global markets as the Federal Reserve had previously signaled a pause in rate hikes during its meeting earlier this month.
NIFTY: The index opened 19 points higher at 18,774 and made a high of 18,794 before closing at 18,688. Nifty has formed an Engulfing Bear candlestick pattern, which has bearish implications. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 18,800 while support is at 18,550.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened 66 points higher at 44,054 and closed at 43,443. Bank Nifty has formed a strong bearish candle indicating a downward trend, as the market experienced sustained selling pressure throughout the day. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 43,750 while support is at 43,300.
