Sensex, Nifty Hold Small Gains Ahead Of Fed Rate Decision
None
9 years ago
India's Sensex and Nifty fluctuated as investors awaited the U.S. Fed rate decision later in the day.

The market is going through a time correction, said Kunal Saraogi, CEO of market research firm Equityrush. “The Nifty is likely to spend some more time in this 200-point range [which is] between 9,550 and 9,750,” he told BloombergQuint by phone.

Saraogi said investors will be focused more on commentary coming out of the FOMC meet, rather than on interest rate decision. “A 25-basis point rate hike has been factored in,” he said.

In terms of investment idea, Saraogi picks midcap private sector banks over their larger peers. He also like some of the monsoon related themes. “The tyre stocks look good right now,” he said. Moreover, he advised investors to stay away from the pharma stocks despite some of them making a comeback.

Shares of the paper maker rose 2.8 percent after it sought share nod for reclassification of share capital, according to its exchange filing.

The company is looking to allot shares to its lenders upon loan conversion. The lenders will hold 51 percent stake in the company upon allotment, the filing said.

Shares of the consumer electricals company declined for a fourth straight session, their worst performance since April.
