Stock Market News: Domestic equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, began Friday’s session lower due to news from the biggest private lender HDFC Bank that loans fell sequentially in the June quarter.
At 9:15 IST, the S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.34% to 79,778.98 points, while the Nifty 50 was down 0.37% at 24,213.35 points.
The chief investment strategist of Geojit Financial Services, Dr. V K Vijayakumar, states that investors should only anticipate modest gains at the current levels in the longer run. Given the favorable long-term outlook, investors may keep making methodical investments.
The market may be supported in the immediate future by FIIs’ substantial long position in index derivatives and their aggressive cash market purchases. The US employment report that is anticipated today might be a significant catalyst. The labor market is becoming more flexible, and the economy is slowing down, which might lead to a rate cut by the Fed in September.
