Equity benchmarks ended the last week with a bearish trend in global equities and concerns over rate hikes by central banks, causing the 30-share BSE Sensex to fall 259 points to settle at 62,979, while Nifty was also down 105 points at 18,665. IndusInd Bank rose by 2.88%, and Hindalco was down 3% while APL Apollo Tubes’ shares declined 3.45%. Investors could consider short-term selling pressure if IndusInd Bank’s stock price dips below Rs.1,250; Hindalco has to overcome its 200-DMA at Rs.430 to gain significant strength, while on BPCL a resistance area of Rs.370-380 needs to be overcome.
