Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important cues ahead of today’s market session

-The domestic markets sold off across large and smallcaps yesterday. Sensex slipped more than 700 points while Nifty fell below the 22,000 level in the previous session. This was following a sell-off in index majors TCS, Infosys and Reliance and weak Asian trends as Japan's central bank hiked rates for the first time in 17 years.

-All eyes are now on US’ Federal Reserve as it is due to announce its interest rate decision later tonight. The two-day policy meeting kicked off yesterday.

-Ahead of the FOMC meet tonight, US equities were higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.83%, marking its best day since Feb. 22, while the S&P 500 climbed half a percent for a fresh record. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.39%.

-This morning, Asia-Pacific markets rose as investors digested the Bank of Japan’s landmark shift in monetary policy while awaiting the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.

-Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index slipped 0.51%, while the mainland Chinese CSI 300 was down 0.72% after the PBOC decision. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.26%, a day after the country’s central bank held rates at 4.35% for the third meeting in a row.

- Oil is up another 0.6% to above $87 per barrel.

-In the previous session, Nifty finally closed below the 40-day EMA. It must be noted Nifty made a low but none of the other indices (banks, mid/smallcap) made a lower low. Now for a bounce, Nifty needs to climb above 21,950 (20-hour average). Bank Nifty has fallen for 8 straight days, but did not make a lower low yesterday. Bank Nifty could retrace some of the fall today.

- Stocks to track: Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, Vodafone Idea, Aurobindo Pharma, TCS, Persistent Systems, YES Bank, UltraTech Cement, SBI Cards
