The stock market closed in the red on Wednesday.
Let us tell you that the stock market closed in the red on Wednesday. The market closed down due to selling in bank and financial stocks amid weak trend in global markets. The BSE Sensex closed down 426.85 points or 0.53 percent at 79,942.18 points. The National Stock Exchange’s Nifty also closed down 126 points or 0.51 percent at 24,340.85 points. According to market experts, the softening of selling by foreign investors and some improvement in the valuation of domestic stocks are positive signs for the domestic market.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, at Geojit Financial Services, said, “Shortly, the market will be influenced by two factors, positive and negative. The positive thing is the rapid reduction in FIIs’ selling and it was Rs 548 crore on Tuesday. This is an indication that the trend of ‘sell in India and buy in China’ is coming to an end.” He said, “The market is expected to gain momentum shortly due to continued buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs) and retail investors and softening of FIIs’ selling. Festivals are also expected to have a positive impact on the market.
