Nifty slips to 5500; tech, metals, oil&gas, realty down

July, 28th 2011
Indian markets continued to slip lower as cautious investors resorted to profit booking on concerns ofUS debt default and after a higher-than-expected rate hike by theRBI. The trade is likely to churn volatile as the session progresses due to settlement of July F&O series. "Multiple pressure points are at work in the markets at the current juncture. The RBI's shock treatment is on top of the list followed by the political posturing in the US over how to manage the debt crisis. Mind you, the eurozone credit problems are not over yet. Moderation in FII inflows is also a cause for concern. Meanwhile, SEBI's Board will meet today to mull a string of important issues. The start will be soft due to a worldwide sell-off linked to the US debt drama. Wall Street suffered badly overnight while European stocks too were hit. Asian markets are mostly lower as well. The key indices will go through usual intraday gyrations associated with F&O expiry. For the Nifty, the key level to watch will be 5500 on the downside and 5600 on the higher side," said IIFL report.
