The broader indices underperformed their larger peers, with S&P BSE MidCap losing 0.5% and S&P BSE SmallCap shedding 0.9%. Ten of the 19 sectoral indices compiled by BSE Ltd. advanced with S&P BSE Metal adding 0.8%. On the flip side, S&P BSE Consumer Durables fell over 2.3%.

The market breadth was skewed in the favour of bears. About 1,242 stocks advanced, 2,220 declined and 182 remained unchanged.

"Early losses were mostly in reaction to the slump seen on Wall Street on Friday, but markets recovered most of its early losses as investors covered some shorts ahead of the trading holiday on Tuesday", according to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities Ltd. He added, "the robust GST collections for April also calmed the nerves of investors, who are already facing the brunt of the ongoing war and volatile oil prices".

"Investors are also keenly awaiting the outcome of the US Fed's monetary policy announcement scheduled later this week. The Nifty is holding above the level of 16800, but at the same time, it is failing to show a sustained momentum. In short, the market is consolidating within a broad trading range of 17,400 and 16,800".

Rupee closed 9 paise lower at 76.52, in a day of lackluster trading. With a truncated week, traders are staying away from taking large bets ahead of US FOMC meeting on Wednesday. Our bias continues to be a range, between 76 and 77. Strong US Dollar Index and fragile equity markets are USD supportive, whereas RBI intervention and LIC related flows are Rupee positive. Therefore, it can be rangebound
