The prevailing momentum across the board is strong, with midcaps and smallcaps also joining in the rally following the recent correction. If Nifty sustains above 17000 today, the up move is likely to extend towards 17200 in the next 2-3 days. That said, speaking from a short-term perspective, in the current up leg of Nifty, participation from banking stocks will be key. The Bank Nifty index has consolidated in a tight range for the entire month and is now attempting to break out of this range. If it sustains above 36500, it could finally start trending on the upside. Abhishek Chinchalkar, CMT Charterholder and Head of Education, FYERS
Nifty has scaled a new high today, touching the 17000 level for the first time. This rally from 16000 to 17000 has been the second fastest 1000 pt up move in Nifty from last year’s low.

This in turn has fuelled the rally in risk assets, underpinning our markets as well. Abhishek Chinchalkar, CMT Charterholder and Head of Education, FYERS

Technically, It is bouncing back from the major support area of 11-10 and there is limited downside while a bounceback towards 17 can be expected if there will be any small correction in the market. The rise in VIX will help option buyers in the near term. Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd
India VIX is inching higher despite markets are rallying. It is behaving contrary to how it behaves normally. It is not always necessary that when the market goes up then India VIX should fall because VIX rises when there is aggressive buying in options whether the buying in call or put. Currently, there are two forces are acting in support of India VIX. First, Call writers are on the back foot and they are covering their shorts in panic while there is some hedging by institutional investors by buying put options as markets are a little overbought in short term.

India’s economy is expected to have grown in double digits during the April-June quarter of this financial year, helped by a low base of the previous year. The expected rebound in economic growth would also stand testament to the strong consumer activity, unfazed by the second wave of the covid-19 pandemic. A recent poll of 41 economists conducted by news agency Reuters indicated that the gross domestic product (GDP) rose 20 per cent in the June quarter, compared to the record contraction of 24.4% in the same period a year ago. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee expects June quarter GDP growth to be at 21.4%.

The rising equities amid weak FII investment and a jump in COVID cases could be negatives for the Rupee in the near term. The 1/- fall in the USDINR pair over the last two trading sessions doesn’t justify any shift in fundamentals. It is just that RBI had let the market react on a free-float basis. This could be an opportunity for them to make a comeback and pile up their reserves to increase their hedges against hot inflows. Broadly, we are expecting that the recent steep fall in the USDINR pair to get cool down shortly near 73.20-30 levels and bounce back towards 73.80-74.00 in the near term.

A distinguishing feature of this bull market which started in April 2020 is that it has been remarkably stable without any major correction. So, the newbie retail investors who entered the market since April 2020 (1.42 cr new Demat accounts opened in FY21) have been buying every dip, successfully. Now, with the Fed giving a commentary favourable to bulls, momentum is likely to take the Nifty to 17000. The flip side of this relentless bull run is the excessive valuation, which exposes the market to an unexpected sharp correction. This market has proved skeptics wrong, till now. Even while enjoying the party, investors should be prepared for a sharp correction. Partial profit booking is never a bad idea. IT stocks have turned a bit weak, perhaps due to dollar appreciation. But experience tells us that the performance of IT companies depends more on the deal wins than the exchange rate. So dips can be used to buy.
