In the broader market on Thursday, small-caps outperformed as the index rallied over 201 points on BSE, while midcap also saw a substantial upside. Mood in the market was dampened due to a steep selloff in capital goods, and metal stocks as these indexes slipped by 726 points and 254 points respectively. The healthcare index also witnessed a drop of 152 points. On the other hand, buying was seen in auto and banking stocks.

On the current performance, Ajit Mishra, VP – Technical Research, Religare Broking said, “Markets remained range bound on the weekly expiry day and settled almost unchanged. After the initial uptick, the Nifty oscillated in a narrow band and finally closed at 18,297 levels. The majority of sectors traded in sync with the benchmark and ended flat, however selective buying in banking, financials, and FMCG kept the traders busy. Meanwhile, the market breadth was inclined on the advancing side, thanks to buying in the smallcap space.”

So far in May, FIIs have bought ₹12,264.05 crore worth of equities, the highest of 2023 as of now. While DIIs have pulled out ₹3,075.04 crore, as per Stock Edge data.

For Friday’s trade, Mishra said, “Markets have been maintaining a positive tone but a mixed trend across index majors is capping the momentum. We thus reiterate our view to focus on stock selection and trade management. In the absence of any major event, the performance of the global markets and earnings will remain in focus for cues.”
