Bears retained their dominance at Dalal Street for the fourth consecutive session on May 11, despite positive sentiment in global counterparts. The selling in technology, auto, FMCG stocks, L&T, and Bajaj Finance weighed down the market, though banks and HDFC capped losses. The benchmark indices recouped around one percent loss from the day’s low with the Nifty50 strongly defending the psychological 16,000 mark. The BSE Sensex fell 276 points to 54,088, while the Nifty50 declined 73 points to 16,167.
Sushant Bhansali, CEO, Ambit Asset Management, said: “The pressure of increased inflation on corporate earnings is quite visible since the last 2 quarters and is expected to continue for another 1-2 quarters. As a result, earnings are getting downgraded more than being upgraded by markets. The mix of earnings downgrade along with a reversal of the interest rate cycle is increasing volatility in the markets. We believe that we are in the consolidation phase after the big bull run in the last two years, a much-needed breather. Profit booking alongside revisions in asset allocation will drag the markets down while fresh flows will push the markets up during this phase. The consolidation phase shall continue for a few more months depending to a large extent on how inflation plays out globally.”
