“Nifty opened positive but soon witnessed selling pressure post-RBI policy outcome where the committee tone was cautious. The index closed with a loss of 213 points (-1%) at 21718 levels. PSU Bank, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, and IT sectors ended in the green. Rate-sensitive sectors ended in red after RBI maintained the status quo for the sixth consecutive time and did not provide any time frame for an interest rate cut. Equity mutual funds in India saw a surge in inflows, reaching ~ ₹21,780 crores in Jan’24 vs ₹16,997 crores in December’23. SIP hit a fresh record of ₹18839 crore in Jan’24 as per the latest data released by AMFI,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research at Motilal Oswal.

Day trading guide for stock market today
On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index seems to have turned down and one may expect some more weakness in the short term. The near-term uptrend of the market remains intact and further weakness down to the immediate support of 21550-21500 levels could be a buying opportunity.”
On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Ashwin Ramani, Derivatives Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, “Bank Nifty cracked 807 points on an Intraday basis to close at 45,012. The call writers built significant positions at the 46,000 & 45,500 Strike in the Index. Both call-and-put writers battled out at 45,000 Strike in Bank Nifty. The option activity at 45,000 Strike will provide cues about Bank Nifty’s future direction. If the current trend continues, Bank Nifty can extend its fall further until 44,500 levels.”
On the outlook for the stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal said, “After the hawkish tone of RBI, we expect the market to remain sideways and consolidate in the near term.”
