Equity Benchmark Sensex and Nifty both ended in red on Friday- bears continued to pull down the Dalal Street. The broader Nifty market closed at Rs 16450, falling 0.71% while the 30-share-BSE Sensex closed at Rs 55329, falling 0.54%. Last week, FMCG and IT were the main gainers while metals, media, PSU bank and realty lost the most. This week as well, global worries like Fed tapering of massive stimulus, spread of Delta variant, and the impact of China’s regulatory tightening are going to weigh on Indian markets.

Vinod Nair, head of research at Giojit Financial Service said, “In the absence of key domestic economic data points and awaiting its release, the market is expected to continue its focus on global events in order to gain momentum. Global rise in Covid-19 cases is also a cause for worry, keeping the volatility high” So, this week, according to analysts, the rally in Indian stock market may take a pause in the short term but any decline should be used to buy. They, however, expect the weakness in small- and mid-caps to continue as BSE Midcap and SmallCap.

At 7.20 am, the Nifty Futures on Singapore Exchange was trading at Rs 16549, up 144 points, compared to its previous close at Rs 16405.
