On the sectoral front, except Banking and Financial indices all the other sectoral indices ended in red.
The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices lost 1.05 per cent and 1.06 per cent each.
Author’s View: Nifty took a breather near 16300 level. If we can get past 16300, the next target for the Nifty should be 16600. The new support for the market is at 15700 and hence any dip or intraday correction can be used to accumulate long positions for higher targets.
