The market ended on a flat note triggered by the profit booking on September 28 but recovered from the day’s low amid buying seen in the metal, power and oil & gas stocks. .”Highly volatile trade witnessed today with significant swings on either side led by the IT & Oil & Gas Index. The PSE Index put up a stellar show today rising over 3% with power stocks making a smart up move. Despite the smart pullback from the lows of the day, declines were higher than advances in the broader market,” S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP securities

“Our domestic markets opened flat to negative as US stocks ended mostly lower, weighed down by weakness in tech, while government bond yields rose to the highest level in nearly three months after durable goods orders topped forecasts. Nasdaq Composite slipped half percent while Dow Jones Index gained 0.2%. The 10-year US Treasury yield climbed 3 basis points to 1.49%, the highest since June.

“Following negative global cues and profit booking in IT and realty sectors, the domestic market hit rough weather, however, it witnessed a rebound towards the closing.  Rise in US bond yield and crude oil price along with the Chinese crisis acted as key headwinds to the ongoing rally in the global market. Amid broad-based selling in the domestic market, public sector, energy and metal stocks traded higher,” Vinod Nair, head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said.
