The Indian equity markets witnessed a correction on Tuesday, snapping their winning streak ahead of US inflation data and the Federal Reserve's policy announcement. The BSE Sensex dropped 377.50 points, and the NSE Nifty slipped 90.70 points. Here's a roundup of the day's market movements and what to watch out for on Wednesday.
The Indian equity markets experienced a gradual correction on Tuesday, with the 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex closing down 0.54% at 69,551.03, and the NSE Nifty slipping 0.43% to 20,906.40. Sectoral indices were uniformly in the red, with capital goods, oil & gas, power, and realty shedding 1% each, except for Metal. The Midcap Index fell 0.4%, and the Smallcap Index was down 0.2%.
Stocks like Sun Pharmaceutical, IndusInd Bank, Maruti Suzuki, Titan, and Reliance Industries settled in the red, while UltraTech Cement, JSW Steel, Axis Bank, TCS, and Wipro ended in the green.
Ahead of Wednesday's trading session, several stocks are poised for attention: Indian Bank has launched a qualified institutional placement (QIP) to raise up to Rs 4,000 crore, with a floor price set at Rs 414.44 per share. Bank of Baroda will consider fund raise on December 15, 2023. Equitas Small Finance Bank has appointed Ashwini Biswal as its Chief Compliance Officer, effective from January 28, 2024. The US FDA has issued Form 483 with five observations for the manufacturing facility of Laurus Labs' arm, Laurus Synthesis. The company assures it will address the observations within stipulated timelines.
Global cues suggest a mixed bag for the Indian markets. The GIFT Nifty is trading at a premium of more than 50 points from Nifty Futures Tuesday close, indicating a positive start. In the US, stocks closed at fresh highs after inflation data did little to alter views on the Federal Reserve's rate cut timing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.48%, the S&P 500 rose 0.46%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.70%. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England are also set to deliver their policy verdicts later this week.
As the Indian market gears up for Wednesday's trading session, the spotlight will be on key stocks and their performances. The market dynamics, both domestically and globally, continue to play a crucial role in shaping investor sentiment.

Perspective On CPI And IIP Data By Nikhil Gupta, Chief Economist, MOFSL Group
"Another month of great duo data. Lower than expected inflation and better IIP growth to keep RBI task simpler. Headline CPI inflation came in at 5.55% YoY in Nov'23, lower than the market consensus of 5.8% (and our forecast of 5.9%). Core inflation eased to 4.1%, though food inflation was at 3-month high of 8.7%. CPI ex veggies was at 46-month low of 4.7% in Nov'23. Core services inflation was unchanged at 3.4%, the lowest in record (since 2015). Details of 299 items suggest that 42% of the basket posted 5%+ inflation last month, similar to that on Oct'23 and the lowest since mid-2021. Similarly, IIP grew 11.7%, better than our forecast of 11% and mkt consensus of 10.5%. All said and done, we expect moderation in 3QFY24 real GDP growth and inflation to remain ~5.2% YoY in 4QFY24. The RBI, thus, doesn't need to think about easing at all and keep monetary policy unchanged in the coming months," says Nikhil Gupta, Chief Economist, MOFSL Group.
