Dealer’s Diary
The benchmark indices dropped in choppy trade, after the US Federal Reserve raised its discount rate from 0.5% to 0.75%, effective from February 19, 2010, for the first time since the financial crisis. Weakness prevailed on the bourses in morning trade. A bout of volatility was witnessed in the second half of the trading session. The market staged a strong intraday rebound in mid-afternoon trade after a sharp slide in afternoon trade. The BSE Sensex recouped nearly all the intraday losses in late trade. However, the intraday rebound proved short-lived. The market once again lost ground towards the close of the trading session. The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty closed down by 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively. The BSE Mid-cap and Small-cap indices also closed in the red, down by 1.4% and 1.6%, respectively.
The trend deciding level for the day is 16189/4846 levels. NIFTY trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally up to 16304–16417/4886–4928 levels. However, if NIFTY trades below 16189/4846 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to 16077–15962/4805–4764 levels.
