Markets at 11 AM LIVE market updates: The benchmark indices continued to reel under selling pressure and extended losses in morning deals, snapping their three-day winning streak. The BSE Sensex was 988 points lower at 57,937. The NSE Nifty50 was at 17,311, down by 294 points. “The sharp cut in the market seen on Friday is due to a sharp jump in US bond yields due to 4 decade-high inflation. However, most of this fear is already factored in. That said, we need to wait and watch how the market will negotiate a high-interest environment. Technically, the Nifty faces resistance in a cluster of 20-DMA and 100-DMA at 17,600-17,650 levels, while 17,300 is an immediate and important support level and 17,000-16,800 is a critical demand zone. We remain bullish on the road ahead till the Nifty trades above the 16,800. A breakout above 17,800 may see it head towards a fresh all-time high,” said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart.
