Share bazaar: Signals of change of trend in June; market guru Anil Singhvi suggests this strategy

Wednesday’s stock market highs in India were on the grounds of positive sentiments in the global markets coupled with short covering, Zee Business Managing Editor and market guru Anil Singhvi opines. The rally on Wednesday and today have been were primarily because of short coverings just before the May expiry date, Singhvi said. Singhvi was responding to a question whether Wednesday’s rally was an indication of improving market sentiments in India or because of short coverings just before the May expiry.

He said that there aren’t enough triggers which are propelling the markets. The only reason why markets ended on a high was because of short coverings. Indian markets have been underperforming. The Nifty 50 attained 9150 mark while the bank Nifty breached the 17750 mark on Wednesday. The markets behaved as if there was no tomorrow, he added.  

Reiterating his stand, Singhvi said that the investors should sell on market highs and buy when the bazaar levels are low. He further said that Wednesday’s strong show was a bit unexpected even for him. The Bank Nifty on Wednesday traded beyond expectations, he added. Singhvi said that, the investors will benefit from short covering in today’s sessions as well, especially in the first half. He said that it will be interesting to see how Dow Futures and expiry trade in the second half.

The existing trading pattern is range bound and investors should book profits when the markets are on a high while buy when there is excessive fall, he suggested. On the question of whether the markets are looking for gains from here for some sustained period, Singhvi said that it doesn’t look like this, currently. Any trend reversals would be known in June, he added.
