CLOSING BELL

The benchmark indices swung to the positive zone in the afternoon trade on Monday as cyclical counters such as public sector banks, auto, and metals marched ahead. Besides, a fall in crude oil prices, and stability in global markets on hopes of fresh round of talks between Russia and Ukraine supported the sentiment.

In the broader markets, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices ended 0.3 per cent and 0.5 per cent lower, respectively. 

Individually, shares of PVR and Inox Leisure zoomed up to 20 per cent on the BSE in Monday's intra-day trade after they announced merger between the two major multiplex owners, in an all stock amalgamation of Inox with PVR. Shareholders of Inox will receive three shares of PVR in exchange for 10 shares in Inox. 

Moreover, shares of Gail India jumped 4 per cent to Rs 153.25 on the BSE in Monday's intra-day trade after the state-owned utilities company announced that its board will consider buyback of shares in its board meeting on Thursday, March 31, 2022.

Technical View: Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

The benchmark Nifty witnessed a ranged movement as the consolidation continued for the seventh consecutive day. On the daily chart, Nifty has formed a hammer pattern with the low of the lower wick at 17000. Therefore, 17000 may continue to act as crucial support. On the higher end, resistance remains at 17350. A decisive move above 17330 may induce a directional trend in the market.

Market view: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

The current volatility is due to elevated commodity prices and resultant downgrade of future earnings growth. The price of products have been increasing constantly and is expected to increase further in the future, affecting demand and margin. Uncertainties due to rising covid cases especially in China also added to the weakness. While Indian equities showed resilience and bounced back in green following a positive European market. We can expect an ease in this volatility based the cessation of the war, commodity prices and supply constraints.
