The Nifty has been stuck in the range of 19,350–19,550 and is lacking direction, down 0.5 per cent over the last five trading sessions, says Jaykrishna Gandhi, Head of Business Development, Institutional Equities, Emkay Global Financial Services.

Erratic monsoon, especially with weaker August (lowest rainfall in 122 years) can further add to concerns in the quarters to come, he said.
