Overall, the cumulative total market capitalisation of the 28 new-age tech stocks stood at $74.79 Bn today.
In the broader market, benchmark indices Sensex fell 1.18% to 78,782.24 and Nifty50 declined 1.27% to 23,995.35. BSE SmallCap index crashed 1.65% to 54,705.02 and BSE Midcap went down 1.31% to 45,679.89.
Vinit Sambre, head of equities, DSP Mutual Fund, pointed out that with this the markets have recently corrected by around 9-10%. Prior to the correction, the Indian markets witnessed a strong upward trajectory due to continuous earnings growth.
“But results for the September quarter have fallen short of expectations, leading to earnings downgrades. This disappointing performance is primarily due to reduced government spending and slow consumption growth. If growth fails to pick up, it could pose further risks to both earnings and market performance,” he said.
Further, he also expects the ongoing volatility in the Indian market caused due to the US elections to ease out soon as the results are upcoming. With this, he believes that the next two quarters will be key in setting the direction for the markets.
Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP of technical and derivatives research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates, said, “Nifty opened flat and saw severe selling pressure, concluding the day negatively at 23,995. Technically, the Nifty formed a red candle on the daily chart, indicating weakness. However, the index was able to defend its previous support of 23,890 and stabilised near 24,000 levels. As long as it holds above 23,890, a potential pullback could drive it towards 24,200 – 24,300.”
