Despite the fall of 850 points in the Sensex, these smallcap stocks touched the upper circuit today

This week’s trading session started with a bloodbath in the Indian market as the Sensex erased its 59,000 mark and the Nifty 50 moved below the 17,500 level. There was a sharp consolidation in domestic equities with broad-based selloff in sectoral indices. Investor sentiment was upset on expectations of tighter monetary policy by the US Fed, a stronger dollar and further slowdown in economic activity. However, amid a downturn in the broader markets, there were three small-cap stocks that managed to defy the bearish tone and outperformed indices by hitting the 20% upper circuit. These three small-caps were Cmake, Ritesh Properties and Sakuma Exports.

Sensex It closed at 58,773.87, down 872.28 points or 1.46%. Nifty 50 slipped 267.75 points or 1.51% to end at 17,490.70. Banking stocks were the biggest hit, while auto, IT and metal stocks dragged down the performance. All sectoral indices remained in the red. Besides, heavy profit-booking in the index heavyweights added to the crisis.

Feather MarketVinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said, “An anticipation of a tighter monetary policy by the Fed and concerns about a slowdown in global economic activity had triggered a consolidation in the market. The current risk-reward side is not on the Nifty 50 as investors are now Trading at a premium valuation of 21.5x P/E (1 year FWD basis) above the long-term average. The rising dollar index and higher US 10-year bond yields acted as near-term headwinds for the market. Huh. “

Shrikant Chauhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities, further said, “Market sentiment may remain volatile in the coming sessions as global concerns of weak demand and fall in US-China crude oil prices remain focused. Will go over Taiwan.”
