!1 New UpdateClick here for latest updates
Bulls have managed to hold the 16000 mark as bears remained at the helm throughout the day. So far, bears have taken 400 points from the market in the last few days. Over the near term, 16000 is likely to act as the line of polarity; a fall below 16000 may trigger a severe correction in the market.

History suggests 14,500 could be a bottom for Nifty, says CLSA
“In the six previous longer declines, the lows in the first seven months equated to a median of two-thirds of the eventual price damage. Overlaying this would give a target of 14,500 for the Nifty, i.e., a 21 per cent fall from the top with the 12-month forward PE falling near its average of 16 times,” said CLSA. “So far, this is also a rare instance when the Nifty has clearly outperformed EM and not underperformed the US during a decline.”

Sensex today live: Index tanks 300 points, looks set to end lower for 3rd day
To control domestic inflation and steer more sugarcane into ethanol production, the Centre has placed a 10-million-tonne limit on sugar exports this season, despite record overseas sales. This is the first time India has done so in six years with sugar exports. Because of recent market correction followed with this news, most sugar stocks have plummeted 30 to 40% from 52-week highs, but export restrictions will make more surplus sweetener accessible for domestic ethanol production, which is a primary government aim. The sugar sector is undergoing a massive transformation and has emerged as a powerful clean energy driver, accelerating India’s transition to renewable energy. Increased cane diversion to ethanol will alleviate the problem of excess sugar inventories and minimize company volatility, resulting in improved profitability, lower working capital, and stronger long-term cash flows. To solve the problem of excess sugar, the government is encouraging sugar mills to shift excess sugarcane to ethanol production.

Though pull back has stretched beyond our downside marker of 16170, the upside trajectory towards 16500-700 does not look broken. As maintained yesterday, we continue to favour a consolidation, and will wait for a slippage past 16025 to consider the prospects of an outright collapse. Until then, we will retain upside hopes, with 16100 and 16266 as the two turnaround points today.

Market View: Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
The government’s initiatives to rein in inflation indicate margin compression for segments like sugar, edible oil and metals. But firms with pricing power can weather this storm.
The decline in the dollar index and the US 10-year bond yield is a near-term positive for emerging markets but that will be insufficient to improve market sentiments which are weak.
