Market Closing Comment :: Shrikant Chouhan, Senior Vice-President, Equity Technical Research, Kotak Securities

On the second consecutive day, Nifty and Sensex ended lower. Benchmark Nifty closed at the day’s lowest level at 12169 and Sensex ended at 41323. IMF has also lowered the growth estimate of India to 4.80% for 2019, which prompted investors to resort to profit-taking.

Except for Nifty media and Small Cap 100 index, other indices closed in negative territory. It is better that the Indian markets are correcting ahead of the Union Budget, which is scheduled on February 1.  Major stocks are correcting to their major support levels that investors should consider as an opportunity to invest with a positional view. Technically, Nifty is having support between 12180 and 12120 levels. Invest in select stocks between the same.
