Nifty May Correct On the Weakness in Markets

Indian Market Outlook: Nifty Index witnessed profit booking yesterday. After a positive opening, Nifty entered into correction zone falling by 50 points to take support at 8613. However, Nifty tried going up during the second half of the day but the bulls could not sustain the uptick and sell-off was seen during the closing hours. Bank Nifty cheered the appointment of new RBI governor and it made a new high in the opening minutes. However the bulls failed to keep the momentum going and profit booking crept-in which led to lower prices throughout the day. FII have sold shares worth Rs. 301 Cr for the 1st time in August. This may be considered as the first sign of market weakness.

Top 5 gainers for yesterday were Hindustan Uniliver, Zee Entertainment Ltd, Itc, Bhel and Idea.
