Indian shares pared most of the losses on Monday. The 30-share BSE Sensex closed 86.6 points lower at 54,395. On similar lines, the broader NSE Nifty dipped 4.60 points or 0.03 per cent to end at 16,216, weighed by robust selling in IT stocks following lacklustre Q1 results from IT giant TCS.
The tech index fell 3.1%, dragged down by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), shares of which fell as much as 4.9% to hit a three-week low, after the company missed quarterly profit estimates by a wide margin on Friday, as employee-related expenses soared.
The rupee ended at a record closing low against the dollar on Monday as continued foreign portfolio outflows from domestic stockmarkets and a broadly stronger greenback weighed on the currency despite intermittent dollar selling intervention.
Day trading guide for stock market today
“The short term uptrend status of Nifty remains intact and the market is taking temporary halt before showing further upmove in the near term. Hence, the current range movement within 16100-16250 levels is likely to extend for the next session. A sustainable move above 16300 could be viewed as strengthening of upside momentum,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
