This statement was read as the reason behind the overnight slump on Wall Street, which saw tech-heavy Nasdaq slip 57 points to 5,032.75 and 30-stock Dow index losing 190 points to 18,041.54.

The stock markets have entered a consolidation mode, keenly awaiting the June 2 monetary policy review by the RBI, which is widely expected to ease lending rates in the backdrop of weak factory output growth and a benign inflation scenario. The benchmark indices opened the session with gains, but slipped into the red soon after as FMCG, metals, oil and gas sector shares came under selling pressure.

They traded in a very narrow range throughout the session, with the broader Nifty cutting losses to claw its way back past the crucial 8400 levels.

Forecasts of a timely monsoon have also strengthened hopes that the central bank would cut rate on June 2 to spur investment and consumption.

Value buying by investors and foreign funds, who had been selling Indian equities over the past several sessions, helped the markets close with handsome gains. After days of extreme volatility, markets finally appear to be consolidating.

Markets now await the monetary policy review of the RBI, which meets on June 2, for a definitive directional cue. The central bank is widely anticipated to ease rates on the back of weaker industrial output growth and benign inflation scenario.

The broader Nifty, too, gained over 70 points, but the key indices pared some gains as the trading session progressed. The gains were mostly led by technology and banking shares.

Sensex @ 27,837.21, up 191.68 points. Nifty @ 8,423.25, up 57.60 points.

The uptrend is very sluggish. it lacks some strength. Furthermore if you look at the options data — the way put options positions are shaping up — there is no aggressive writing or put options happening. Hence, though the drift is on the upside with the slow movement, we should be good to keep a tighter stop loss in this kind of a scenario.

Therefore, 8,220 on Nifty would be the level, which I would watch out for. In case, Nifty gets past 8,340-8,325 then you might see momentum coming.

But for the time being, it is not a very convincing. We are having long bias on stock-specific calls, but in the next one-two days, it will be wise to exit longs on Nifty in case the index starts breaking below 8,200-8,220. Look at more of shorting opportunities. For the time being to me, it still appears the market which might trade in a range between 8,100 and 8,350.

Bond-yield rise driven by lack of liquidity: ANZ Research

Trades in the stock markets were extremely volatile on Thursday, with the Sensex opening with gains of over 250 points, before slipping in the red. At one point, the Sensex plunged 300 points, but staged a recovery in the late session, as the wholesale price index for April came in at (-2.65 per cent) - a sixth straight month of decline - strengthening hopes of an interest rate cut by the RBI.

The WPI data came on the back of weak IIP and CPI inflation data.

The volatility in benchmark indices mirrored weakness in the European peers as investors remain edgy regarding the tightness in liquidity as bond prices are falling and, consequently, yields are rising.

The cloud over local equities linger on worries over disappointing quarterly results, controversial MAT levy and delay in passage of key bills like GST and land acquisition, besides, of course, the subdued monsoon forecast.

The markets, smarting from the recent persistent batterings, rose more than 1 per cent on Wednesday in a volatile session, led by gains in financial stocks after soft inflation and industrial output data fuelled hopes of an interest rate cut by the RBI.

The BSE Sensex had surged over 400 points in early trade, but gave up entire gains and slipped in the red after global investment bank HSBC downgraded Indian equities to "underweight" from overweight earlier on earnings growth concerns.

Equity benchmarks surged for the second straight session Monday, even as players are divided on whether the rally can sustain. The 30-share Sensex closed at 27507.30, up 401.91 points or 1.48 percent over its previous close. The Nifty closed at 8325.25, up 133.75 points or 1.63 percent.

In the last two sessions, the Sensex has risen around 908 points and the Nifty around 268 points. There was good demand for mid cap shares too, with S&P BSE Midcap Index gaining over 2 percent.

Brokers attributed much of the rise in the last of couple of sessions to short covering of positions, and said there was not much of fresh buying by institutional investors.

Bank of Baroda was among the prominent gainers of the day, with the stock rising 17 percent. The company’s fourth quarter earnings fell short of market expectations, but improvement in asset quality was better than what analysts had estimated.

HDFC, State Bank of India, Infosys, ICICI Bank, Tata Motors and Sun Pharma were among the major contributors to the rally.

Oil prices fall after hitting 2015 highs

After falling over 700 points in the previous session, the S&P BSE Sensex extended its fall and closed 118 points lower on Thursday. Notably, the index has lost over 11% or 3,300 points from its life-time high of 30,024.74 in early March this year.

The 30-stock Sensex ended the day at 26,599.11, down 118.26 points. The broader 50-share Nifty closed the session at 8,057.30, down 39.70 points.

Well, experts across Dalal Street are of the view that the benchmark indices can correct anywhere between 4 and 5 per cent before finding a bottom, and this weakness should be used by traders to go short on the market.

Well, at a time when the Indian markets are falling as if there is no tomorrow, investors should not get scared, but should look at accumulating quality stocks at every decline, advise experts.

One of the most important factors troubling the markets is the muted earnings growth showed by India Inc for the quarter ended March 31. But analysts expect earnings growth to bounce back from 2016.

Benchmark indices plunged over 2 per cent each in trade on Wednesday to hit their lowest level in four months, on strong selling on algorithmic trading platforms, rising crude oil prices, and muted corporate earnings growth, among others.

Continued offloading by foreign investors amid retrospective tax worries also weighed on the sentiment. Dealers said the sell-off was initially sparked by a slump in NSE index futures listed on the Singapore exchange, which are now trading at a discount to domestic NSE index futures, Reuters reported.

The S&P BSE Sensex finally closed 2.6 per cent lower at 26,717.37. It hit a low of 26,677.64 and a high of 27,501.15 in trade today.

The 50-share Nifty index ended 2.74 per cent lower or 227.80 points at 8,097.00. It hit a low of 8083.00 and a high of 8331.95 in trade today.

Try not to panic, advise experts, adding that invest in a scattered manner as come 2016, earnings growth of India Inc will start improving.

After a strong pull back session on Monday, selling pressure continued unabated on Dalal Street on Tuesday, with the Nifty slipping below its crucial psychological level of 8300 in trade today.

However, markets recouped some of the intraday losses and the S&P BSE Sensex finally closed 50 points lower at 27440.14 while the 50-share Nifty index ended 11.25 points down at 8,320.70.

Even though the benchmark indices managed to claw back its key resistance levels in the previous session, analysts think that the worst is not over yet and the Nifty could further drift towards the level of 8200 in the next 2-3 weeks.

As per experts, the best case situation would be consolidation in the market plus/minus 100 points on the Nifty at current levels. Dutt says that there is a 30% to 40% probability that we may go below the 8200 levels as we test the round figure of 8000 levels over the next two to three weeks.
