(By Ravi kant Kumar)
Stock Market Live Updates: In a tug of war between bulls and bears, the former emerged victorious in a highly volatile market on Tuesday. With this gain, benchmarks snapped a two-day losing streak as Nifty50 closed around 17,600, while the Sensex rose by around 300 points.
Mirroring the benchmarks, Nifty Midcap and Small cap rose more than one per cent in the broader market.
Nifty Auto, PSU Bank and Metal led the sectoral indices as the market ended higher on Tuesday amid huge profit booking in IT stocks. IT was the lone loser among sectoral indices with around 1.5% cut.
Mahindra & Mahindra was the top gainer on the benchmarks, while TCS and Infosys were top laggards.
Fear of uncertainty is visible in the market as they move with high volatility, led by weak signals from global peers, while a stronger domestic economy is providing some comfort, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, on Tuesday's trading session. "Global markets were under pressure with a spike in European energy prices and rate hike fears ahead of the Jackson Hole gathering. On the domestic front, gains in banks, autos and metals were countered by selling in IT stocks as majors are scaling down variable pay due to margin pressure," he added.
Earlier, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said the market mood suddenly changed after the release of the Fed minutes which indicate steeper rate tightening than what the market had discounted.
"Now, the focus will be on what the Fed chief Powel will say at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday. If he sounds less hawkish there can be a relief rally; otherwise the present drift will continue. The trend in US markets is hugely important for India since the correlation between the two markets is very high," he said.
The sharp decline in India is also due to some profit taking by DIIs who have been sustained sellers in recent days. Profit booking is normal since the market had risen too fast (Nifty rallied 18% from the June lows) in 2 months.
Investors can now buy the dips in a calibrated manner. High quality financials, autos and capital goods can bounce back sharply when the market trend turns."

Bank Nifty outlook on August 23

The immediate upside hurdle stands at 39000 where call writers are active and once surpassed will see further short covering."- Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
Nifty outlook, August 23
"Nifty ended the day with a significant green candle that pierced through the body of the previous bear candle on the daily chart. On the lower end, the Nifty found support at a near-term moving average. Going ahead, the trend may remain positive as long as the index holds above 17400 on a sustained basis. On the higher end, 17700 may act as immediate resistance; a decisive move above 17700 may induce a rally towards the recent high of 18000." - Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
