Emkay Global Financial Services, Sales Trading, S Hariharan says, “The market sentiment has been somewhat weaker with respect to institutional flows over the last week – FIIs have been net sellers worth Rs 4000 crore in cash segment and Rs 2500 crore in stock futures in November so far.”

He adds, “Retail long leverage through stock futs continues to be very strong – net long open interest is up to $14 bn, which is a life high. Exuberant participation in primary issuances and high leverage, combined with peaking of earnings upgrade cycle, poses a major risk in the near-term for broader markets.”

According to Hariharan, “Auto sector has been benefiting from cooling off of metals prices, which have acted a headwind to margins, as well as a cut in fuel excise duties. While pharma sector faces price erosion headwinds in US market and can be a likely under-performer going ahead.”
