The Nifty 50 and the Sensex had risen 0.7% on Monday, snapping a four-session losing streak, and both opened lower on Tuesday before the Nifty recovered to 22,787.55 by 10:11 AM (data provider).<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Indian shares seen lower reflects three pressures: oil near a six-month high at about $115 a barrel in two reports, a US Federal Reserve decision due on Wednesday, and foreign selling that one report puts at Rs 1,462 crore on Monday. The rupee is near 95 to the US dollar and the US 10-year yield is near 5%, which keep the pressure on emerging markets. The market opened lower, with the Sensex down 325 points at 73,281 at 9:19 AM, but the Nifty was up 0.15% by 10:11 AM, so the early call has not held. This is educational and not a recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Indian shares seen lower is the type of call that comes from overnight signals, and the signals can be wrong by the time the market opens. This article sets out those signals, the oil, rupee and flow data behind the call, and the opening moves that followed.<\/p>\n<p>The aim is to show how oil, the Fed and flows can reach the Nifty and the Sensex, and to check the call against the first hour of trade.

For Indian shares seen lower, oil matters more than any other single input, because it hits the rupee, the inflation outlook and company margins together. A report this week also noted that the Nifty Smallcap 250 fell 7.10% last week and about 8.5% in October, which shows how much oil and foreign selling have weighed on the broader market. That is why Indian shares seen lower often begins with a crude check.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fed_Rates_and_the_Dollar_Why_the_Fed_Is_in_Focus\"><\/span><strong>The Fed, Rates and the Dollar: Why the Fed Is in Focus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The US Federal Reserve&#8217;s two-day meeting starts on Tuesday, with the decision and press conference due on Wednesday. Markets expect the central bank to leave rates unchanged, and a DSIJ note says the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan also have decisions this week and are expected to hold. With the US 10-year yield near 4.995%, any hint of further tightening can pull money out of emerging markets, which would add to Indian shares seen lower.<\/p>\n<p>A hold is already in the price, so the tone of the press conference matters more than the decision. A firm stance on inflation can lift the dollar and the yield, and a softer tone can ease both. Either way, the move may spill into Indian shares seen lower on Thursday morning. A hawkish tone would keep Indian shares seen lower, and a soft tone could end the call.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&#038;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to track the Nifty and set price alerts for key levels.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foreign_Flows_and_the_Rupee_in_Indian_Shares_Seen_Lower\"><\/span><strong>Foreign Flows and the Rupee in Indian Shares Seen Lower<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Indian shares seen lower: flow data<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Figure<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Comment<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Foreign investors (HDFC Sky)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net sellers of Rs 1,462 crore on Monday<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Extends October outflows<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Foreign institutions (DSIJ)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net sellers of Rs 1,462.49 crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Latest available data; date not stated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Domestic institutions (DSIJ)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net buyers of Rs 2,609.57 crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Date not stated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Foreign institutions (Kotak Neo)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net buyers of Rs 887.65 crore on Friday<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Different day from the other two<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Margin trading book<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 1.54 lakh crore<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">A large pool of borrowed money that can force selling in falls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The flow data is mixed because the figures belong to different days. The pattern for Indian shares seen lower is that foreign investors have sold through October while domestic institutions have bought, and the domestic buying has kept the index from falling further. The margin book of about Rs 1.54 lakh crore is a large pool of borrowed money, so a sharp fall in smallcaps can feed on itself. For Indian shares seen lower, flows matter as much as oil.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Call_Played_Out_Indian_Shares_Seen_Lower_Versus_the_Open\"><\/span><strong>How the Call Played Out: Indian Shares Seen Lower Versus the Open<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Indian shares seen lower: checkpoint<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Early call<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Actual<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Sensex open<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Lower<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">73,281 at 9:19 AM, down 325 points or 0.44% from 73,606.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nifty early read<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Lower<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">22,671.55 at 9:22 AM, down 0.36%; 22,787.55 at 10:11 AM, up 0.15%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">IT stocks<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Weak after global tech moves<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nifty IT down 1.7% at 9:30 AM; Infosys and TCS among the Sensex losers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Midcaps and smallcaps<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Under pressure<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Midcap 100 up 0.29% and Smallcap 100 up 1.34% at the open<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Gainers<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Not flagged<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">BEL, Maruti, Eternal, Power Grid and NTPC led the Sensex at 9:24 AM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Asia<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Mixed<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nikkei up about 1.9% to 2.4% and Kospi up about 3.7% to 4.5% in the morning<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The call of Indian shares seen lower was right on the open and wrong by 10:11 AM. Indian shares seen lower proved right only in the first minutes. Asian markets turned positive, and a Business Standard note says that tech shares led US gains after Anthropic&#8217;s reported plan to go public, which helped sentiment abroad even as it pressured Indian IT stocks. The Nifty recovered more than 115 points from its early low (my calculation).<\/p>\n<p>The first hour does not decide the day.

The pressure points have not gone away, so watch Brent, the rupee, the Fed press conference on Wednesday and foreign flows. Follow your own plan and risk limits, and check live levels before you trade. The next test for Indian shares seen lower is the Fed press conference. Brent crude and the rupee are the other two checks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#CC0000;border-radius:8px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13px;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\"><strong style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information.

Foreign investors had also been selling. The market opened lower, but the Nifty recovered to 22,787.55 by 10:11 AM.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_high_oil_affect_Indian_shares\"><\/span><strong>How does high oil affect Indian shares?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> India imports most of its crude, so high oil widens the trade deficit, weakens the rupee and raises inflation and input costs. These effects reach rate-sensitive and margin-sensitive stocks first. Upstream oil companies may gain, while many others face higher costs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Fed_expected_to_do_this_week\"><\/span><strong>What is the Fed expected to do this week?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Federal Reserve&#8217;s meeting began on Tuesday with a decision and press conference due on Wednesday, and markets largely expect rates to stay unchanged. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan also have decisions this week and are expected to hold. The tone of the press conference may matter more than the decision.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_foreign_investors_buying_or_selling_Indian_shares\"><\/span><strong>Are foreign investors buying or selling Indian shares?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> One report says foreign investors sold Rs 1,462 crore of Indian equities on Monday, extending October&#8217;s outflows, while another shows a net purchase of Rs 887.65 crore on Friday. The data belong to different days, so the picture is mixed. Domestic institutions were net buyers of about Rs 2,609.57 crore in the latest data.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_rupee_level_and_why_does_it_matter\"><\/span><strong>What is the rupee level and why does it matter?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The rupee was near 95.17 to 95.22 per US dollar on Tuesday. A weak rupee raises import costs and can add to foreign selling. It also affects IT and pharma exporters in a different way, since they earn in dollars.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_the_Sensex_and_Nifty_open_lower_on_27_Oct\"><\/span><strong>Did the Sensex and Nifty open lower on 27 Oct?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes, the Sensex opened at 73,281, down 325 points, at 9:19 AM, and the Nifty was at 22,671.55 at 9:22 AM. The Nifty then recovered to 22,787.55 by 10:11 AM, up 0.15% from Monday&#8217;s close. Nifty IT was the weakest sector in the early trade.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_call_of_Indian_shares_seen_lower_a_prediction_of_a_fall\"><\/span><strong>Is the call of Indian shares seen lower a prediction of a fall?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> No, it is an early read based on overnight signals and it can change quickly.
