GIFT NIFTY is trading in red at 19,640(-0.64%).

All the factors combined indicate a gap-down opening in the market.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs -783 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bought worth Rs 90 crores.

INDIA VIX is down to 10.30.

The war between Israel and Palestinian militants adds geopolitical risk to a market recovering from a recent fall.

This is definitely the headline topic for today as Dow Jones trades 0.5% in the red. The same gap-down is expected in NIFTY.

The RBI Monetary policy went according to expectations last week as there was no interest change. Hence there was good put selling in the market.

Now, the thing to be seen is, how weak NIFTY will be. Technically speaking, the direct impact on our economy in this war is much lower than the Russia-Ukraine war.

The hope was initially for a positive week following last Friday. Let’s see how the important supports are being respected today.

The hope is that since the impact on India is low, a knee-jerk reaction fall will be followed by a good recovery today and tomorrow.
