Giving idea about the current stock market of India Prakash Pandey, Head of Research at Fairwealth Securities said, "The Indian indices have gained due to the strong global cues caused by the Us President Donald Trump's decision to delay the imposition of 10 per cent tariff on the Chinese good from September 1, 2019. As the Nifty has closed above 11,000 levels, tomorrow close becomes crucial. If it opens above the psychological levels and closes above this, then we can expect some 100 t0 150 points rally in the Nifty index." However, Pandey maintained that till Nifty is below 11,300 buy on dips would be the ideal way of trade.
