Domestic equity benchmarks fell for the second week in a row due to a global market rout, with declines in three out of five trading sessions. However, key indices saw strong gains on Friday, with the S&P BSE Sensex rising 819.69 points or 1.04% to 79,705.91, and the Nifty 50 index up 250.50 points or 1.04% to 24,367.50.
Pharma Sector has been a star performer in the recent volatility and has touched an All time high for the second straight week with names like Lupin, Sunpharma, Aurobindo pharma leading the charge.
The crisis in Bangladesh, a major market for Indian yarn, may affect USD 1.3 billion in exports, reducing realizations and margins. It could also offer opportunities for Indian fabric and garment manufacturers. Bangladesh's textile sector might see a 15-20% drop in RMG exports, potentially benefiting Indian exporters. Indian FMCG companies could face challenges like supply chain disruptions and increased costs.
Charting the Pulse of Indices:
A) Sector Wise Performance
B) Heatmap
Heatmap helps investors quickly understand the performance of multiple stocks or sectors in a single view. Color coding, with varying shades indicating the degree of movement - red for declines, green for gains, and sometimes grey or other colors for little or no change. Heatmaps are effective for spotting market patterns and can be a time-saving resource in investment analysis.
C) Market Breadth
A) Nifty 500
Analyzing market breadth is important as it provides insight into the underlying strength or weakness of the market, beyond just looking at benchmark indices. Breadth measures the percentage of securities in NIFTY 500 surpassing specified moving averages over the specified period. Comparing the market breadth of nifty 500 during the previous week's trading sessions, we can analyze that number of stocks above key moving average support areas are reducing by the end of week. This can be considered as a sign of weakness if change is seen to be significant.
