“After a breather, bears took tight control over markets as it ended with sharp losses.

“The broader markets, mid cap and small cap ended in-line with the benchmark. All the sectoral indices ended in the red,” he said adding on Thursday markets would first react to the Fed chairman speech scheduled in the night.  “Besides, progress on monsoon, crude price and currency movement will be key monitorable,” he added. 

The Indian rupee also touched a new low in line with capital outflow.   Jateen Trivedi, vice president, Research Analyst at LKP Securities said “Rupee traded weak below 78.30 down 0.25% compared with the previous close on the back of Fed’s increasing hawkish stance and FII’s selling aggressively in the Indian markets.” 

“Crude prices have shown some respite hence rupee has not fallen below 78.50 to a dollar. The range for rupee can be seen between 78.10-78.50 going ahead,” he added.
