POST-MARKET SUMMARY 16 August 2023

Benchmark indices displayed a familiar pattern of resilience on August 16, rebounding from earlier losses to conclude the day with gains. This upward movement was fuelled by buying activities spanning various sectors, except for metal and banking. Nonetheless, despite this rebound, we expect volatility to persist in the immediate future amid elevated inflation levels within both domestic as well as global economies.

NIFTY:  The index opened 65 points lower at 19,369 and made a high of 19,482 before closing at 19,465. Nifty has formed a bullish candlestick pattern with minor upper and lower shadows on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 19,600 while immediate support is at 19,300.

BANK NIFTY:  The index opened 364 points lower at 43,726 and closed at 43,946. Bank Nifty has formed a bullish candlestick pattern with minor upper and lower shadows on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 44,100 while support is at 43,700.
