“Investors are becoming more optimistic due to the anticipation of a positive revision in the RBI’s inflation forecast during the ongoing MPC meeting. It is expected that the RBI will maintain its pause on rate hikes, considering the significant improvement in inflation, which has now come within the RBI’s comfort zone. Furthermore, the participation of FIIs as net buyers, after a brief halt, contributed to today’s market rally, particularly driven by mid and small-cap stocks,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
“Nifty 50 had a small gap-up opening which was then followed by a range-bound move for a couple of hours. This was predominantly due to Bank Nifty which was trading almost flat in the opening hours. However, the second hour of the trading session brought fresh cheers to bulls with Nifty making fresh highs every hour even when Banknifty continued to struggle” said Gaurav Bissa, VP – InCred Equities.
“Nifty witnessed a fresh hourly breakout above 18650 levels which has now paved the way towards 18800-18850 levels. Bank Nifty has also managed to close above its swing breakout level of 44200 which if sustained can lead to a rise till 45000 levels. The immediate support is at 18630 levels for Nifty and 43900 for Bank Nifty. The trend for both the indices remains positive,” Gaurav Bissa added.
