Closing Bell: Sensex gains 400 points, Nifty ends above 16,600; oil & gas stocks top gainers – Moneycontrol

Prashanth Tapse, Vice President (Research), Mehta Equities:

Dalal Street rose sharply in today’s trade shrugging off weak overnight Wall Street cues amid value buying backed by short covering in Reliance Industries and other IT stocks. Nifty bulls’ probably will rip to its 200-DMA 17253 mark. The index’s immediate target is seen at 17837. Nifty has immediate support at 16421-16171, while resistance is seen at 16837-17264.

Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities:

Nifty snapped a two day fall on June 2 as expected. It opened flat and gradually rose through the day with minimal corrections to end almost at the intra day high. At close, Nifty was up 0.64% or 105.3 points at 16628.
Volumes on the NSE were a bit lower than the recent average. Among sectors, Oil & Gas and IT were the main gainers while Auto and Capital goods were the main losers. Broader markets did well as is clear from the sharply positive advance decline ratio and a gain in the smallcap index.

Nifty has expectedly started to rise post a small correction. 16696 is the next resistance post which 16888 could halt the upmove temporarily. A move below 16506 could result in some minor weakness.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities:

After a subdued start, markets bounced back sharply on the back of renewed optimism as investors lapped up shares of the recently beaten down IT and oil & gas stocks. In fact, Indian shares outperformed other Asian peers, which mostly ended in the red. Technically, after a muted opening, the Nifty took support near 16450 and reversed the trend. A promising reversal formation on intraday charts and a long bullish candle on daily charts is indicating further uptrend from the current levels. 

For day traders, 16550 would act as a trend decider level, above which the Nifty could rally till 16720. In case of any further upside, the index could rally up to 16800. On the flip side, below 16550, uptrend would be vulnerable and could falter up to 16450.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services:

The bounce in the market is showing signs of getting extended further supported by a mid and small-cap. High-frequency data like GST collection and PMI have shown a good start to FY23. Crude prices have declined providing an edge to the performance of the Indian market. However, a lot will depend on central bank’s policy in India and US, which will be announced in the next two weeks.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities:

Nifty remained volatile with a positive bias throughout the session. On the daily chart, the benchmark index Nifty has formed an engulfing kind of pattern, suggesting bullishness. Daily RSI is in bullish crossover and rising. On the higher end, the index has resistance at 16700; above 16700, the Nifty can move towards 17000. The trend is likely to remain positive as long as it sustains above 16400.

RBI’s tightening path has a ‘real’ argument in favour of growth

CEA argues RBI’s rate hike won’t hit growth as real interest rates would be low. Many economists agree but give different figures as to what exactly are the real interest rate and neutral rate. An RBI…
