"Although traders will try to treat a rate hike skip as bullish, surging US yields pose a risk to the yellow metal. A retreat in yields coupled with a dovish interpretation of the Fed's decisions and forecasts will be positive for gold. Support is at $1915/$1900, whereas resistance is at $1950/$1965," said Praveen Singh – Associate VP, Fundamental Currencies and Commodities, Sharekhan.
“A rough start to the trading session is on the cards as overnight weakness in the US markets has triggered a slump in other Asian counterparts after the US Federal Reserve hinted at a one more rate hike by the end of this year even as it kept rates unchanged in its FOMC meeting yesterday. Another negative catalyst has been frenzied selling by foreign institutional investors as they sold shares worth Rs 3110.69 crores in the domestic equity markets on Wednesday, which could further dampen the sentiment. The firm US Dollar index and treasury yields are also driving FIIs to desert emerging market equities,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.
Apollo Tyres, Infosys, Cipla, SJVN, Coal India, and RR Kabel are some of the top stocks to watch during today's trading session.
"The Nifty has witnessed a faster retracement and also breached the low of 19,914 (wave IV low) which suggests that the rise from 19,223 to 20,222 has completed a wave.

In terms of levels, 19,840–19,800 is the crucial support zone while 20,050–20,100 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone," said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
