Latest Updates

  • Nifty outlook: Short-term trend remains positive 

    "Nifty found resistance around 18100 leading to close in the red for the day. On the daily chart, a dark cloud cover pattern has formed suggesting waning bullishness. The trend for the few hours to 1 day may remain weak; However, the short term trend remains positive as the Nifty closed above the falling trend line on the daily chart. On the lower end, support is visible at 17700, below which the short term trend may become weak. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 17900/18100."- Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities. 

  • Bank Nifty undertone remains bullish 

    The Bank Nifty index witnessed some profit booking at higher levels, which indicates 41,800-42,000 will act as an immediate hurdle on the upside. The lower-end support stands at 40,000 levels where one of the highest open interests is built up on the put side. The undertone remains bullish and once should keep a buy-on-dip approach as long as it holds the support of 40,000 on the downside."- Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

  • Elevated inflation in US keeping Investors on edge  

    "Defying the positive trend of global markets, domestic indices shed its early gains, dragged by losses in IT and pharma sectors, while mid & small caps outperformed. Fears of a recession in the global economy exacerbated selling pressure in IT and pharma stocks. Mid & small caps are expected to continue its trend in the short to medium term as they are trading reasonably well compared to large caps and at a discount to their historic valuation. Globally, in light of the elevated inflation in the US, investors are on an edge, assessing the possibility of a higher magnitude of a rate hike in the next Fed policy meeting- Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

  • Nifty Bank at a new high 

    The resilience of the domestic market is fuelled by the strong momentum of the banking sector. The major factors influencing the performance of banking stocks are asset quality, credit growth and FII activity. The recent rally in the market had largely taken into account the improving asset quality, while the market is yet to fully factor in the strong traction expected in credit demand. FIIs turning net buyers is an additional catalyst supporting the trend. Even after factoring in the current rally, the Nifty Bank index is still attractive trading marginally above the long-term averages. While we continue to have a strong long-term outlook for the banking sector, especially for large private banks, we can't rule out the prospect of short-term profit booking due to the spillover effect of a recession in the global economy.- Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

  • Nifty outlook on 15 Sept

    While ruling out a collapse yesterday, we had wagered on the prospects of a recovery push, should there be a turn after meeting the downside objective of 17860. The push higher, even though encouraging, having attracted long liquidation near therecent peak, we are circumspect about chasing prices higher today, and are biased towards seeing more dips. Alternatively, a direct rise above the 18067/90 region could dispel doubts about the 18600 trajectory.

  • Stock Market Outlook: Weak global markets, renewed inflation big concerns 

    There are two broad market trends now. One, globally markets have turned weak on renewed inflation concerns and the market consensus is that the Fed's terminal rate would be clearly above 4%. This will weigh on global markets. Two, India's outperformance is strong and consistent. This has fundamental support from a strong economy and good earnings visibility. There is a clear message from the performance of S&P 500 ( down 18% YTD) and Nifty (up 3.6% YTD). This divergence in performance between global and Indian markets has steam to sustain in the near-term. Yesterday's strong market performance validates the success of the 'buy on dips' strategy. Buyers are chasing banks, autos, FMCG, telecom and construction related segments which are likely to come out with good results in the coming quarters. Even while remaining invested, investors should exercise some caution arising from high valuation.- V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

  • Stock Market Pre-opening Session

    Amid neutral global sentiment, the Indian market opened flat in the pre-opening. The Nifty50 was trading near 18000, while the Sensex was around 60,300 

  • Global growth slowdown almost certain

    Global growth slowdown is now almost a certainty. The Euro-Zone, struggling under the grip of an unprecedented energy crisis, is on the verge of a recession. China's property market crisis is deepening. The latest inflation numbers in the US indicate that the Fed has no option but to remain hawkish for some time. With all three global growth engines in slowdown mode, crude demand is unlikely to remain strong enough to support prices at the present level. - V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
