The Nifty 50 index opened flat at 24,489.60 points, while the BSE Sensex index was down marginally by 0.16% during early trade to 80,248.60 points. Experts noted that global markets supported Trump's victory on Wednesday, and his success in the elections is expected to be more potentially transformative than initially thought. However, his decisions could have both positive and negative impacts on different sectors. "The Trump victory is turning out to be more potentially transformative than thought earlier. With the Congress and the Senate coming under Republican control and President Trump exercising power without bothering about another term in office, hugely transformational decisions are possible in the months following Trump's assumption of office. These decisions may turn out to be both good and bad" said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services. "His pro-business initiative of 'America First' can strengthen the American economy. But if he walks his talk and imposes a 60% tariff on Chinese imports and a 10 to 20% tariff on imports from other countries, that would trigger inflation and jeopardise the Fed's policy of containing inflation, necessitating a rethink of the Fed's present policy of rate cut. This has the potential to negatively impact global stock markets,” Vijayakumar added. In the sectoral indices, a mixed performance was seen on the National Stock Exchange, with Nifty Auto, Nifty Pharma, Nifty IT, and Nifty FMCG gaining, while Nifty Bank, Nifty Metal, and Nifty Private Bank declined. In the quarterly announcements today, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Trent, Rail Vikas Nigam, Linde India, Lupin, NHPC, and Aditya Birla Fashion &amp; Retail are some of the major companies set to announce their second-quarter financial performance. In other Asian markets on Thursday, Japan's Nikkei index was down marginally by 0.4%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.68%. Taiwan's weighted index also rose by 1.07%, and South Korea's KOSPI index was up by 0.41%. In China, the Shanghai Composite also gained 0.75% after Trump's return. U.S. markets on Wednesday rallied on Trump's victory, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq indices both surging more than 2%. “US is the largest market for India's $254 bn tech sector where its overall contribution is $80 bn to US GDP. Importantly, the industry plays a key role in supporting US companies in strengthening the US economy. Conversely, India is a prime destination for American businesses, with over 1,000 U.S. companies that are driving innovation and leveraging India’s digital infrastructure to create competitive solutions,” said Indian trade body Nasscom in a statement.

"Peak event risk and heightened volatility ahead of the last stretch of a very polarising US Election. Still three big events this week: The US Election result, the FOMC rate cut announcement and the China standing committee meeting outcome on Friday. Add on possible Iranian action on Israel and you have a full week of worries and risk off. Stay on the sidelines and wait out the week.

The beneficiary sectors of this election are industrials, infrastructure, manufacturing, real estate and financials".

Last week, the Indian market had a bad week, losing more than 4%. The Nifty 50 index started strong, reaching 25,084.10 points. This was a gain of 69.50 points, which is a 0.28% increase. The BSE Sensex also had a good start, opening at 81,852.01 points. This was a gain of 163.56 points, or 0.20%. Market experts think that the Indian market will likely continue to do well this week. But there are a few things that could make the market less certain, like geopolitical tensions and the start of the earnings season. "We are expecting better Indian markets this week, with a contingent condition that the Middle East conflict does not expand further. Earnings start later in the week, and hopefully, markets will have to contend with analysing economic news breaks rather than the burgeoning geopolitical risk that has become standard fare since the Oct 7th, 2023 attack on innocent civilians" said Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert.

Nifty Sensex breaks five-session losing trend, experts predict positive outlook this week

In a landmark moment for Indian equities, the benchmark <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword> surged past the 84,000 mark for the first time, closing at a <keyword id="19953076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="record-high" source="keywords">record high</keyword> of 84,544.31 on Friday. This impressive rally, fueled by gains in frontline <keyword id="20193591" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bank-stocks" source="keywords">bank stocks</keyword> and positive global trends, signals a buoyant sentiment in both domestic and international markets. The Sensex climbed 1,359.51 points, or 1.63%, while the NSE <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> followed suit, gaining 375.15 points or 1.48%, closing at a record 25,790.95. The intra-day highs saw the Sensex touching 84,694.46 and the Nifty peaking at 25,849.25. Mahindra &amp; Mahindra led the rally with a gain of over 5%, while other top performers included ICICI Bank, JSW Steel, Larsen &amp; Toubro, and Nestlé. <h3> </h3><h3>Top gainers and losers</h3>While the overall market was in an uptrend, sectoral performances varied. Nifty Auto, Metal, Real Estate, Power, Capital Goods, FMCG, Consumer Durables, and Bank Nifty saw minor gains. However, sectors like IT, Telecom, Oil &amp; Gas, and Pharma lagged behind. Notably, Nifty IT emerged as the top sectoral loser, with a drop of over 3%, weighed down by losses in major IT firms such as TCS, which fell 5.1%. Within the Nifty, ICICI Bank led the gains with a 7.8% surge, followed by Mahindra &amp; Mahindra (+7.4%) and Nestlé (+6.5%). On the losing end, TCS (-5.1%), Grasim Industries (-4.1%), and BPCL (-2.8%) faced pressure. Foreign and domestic institutional investors were net buyers, providing further momentum to the market. The Volatility Index, India VIX, rose by 2.24%, signaling a slight uptick in market uncertainty but not enough to dampen the bullish sentiment. <h3>Global cues propelling the bull run</h3>Analysts attribute the rally to a combination of domestic strength and global optimism, particularly the recent 50 basis points rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The Fed’s highly accommodative monetary policy has reignited confidence in global markets, with foreign inflows expected to increase, bolstering Indian equities in the short to medium term. Asian markets, including Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, all closed in the green, adding to the positive momentum. In contrast, European equity markets showed some weakness, while the U.S. markets continued their upward trend, with the Dow and S&amp;P 500 reaching new highs. "The U.S. markets, led by the Dow and S&amp;P 500, setting record highs is a testament to the ongoing global bull run. Indian markets are benefiting from this, as global liquidity and optimism remain strong," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. "Unemployment data, along with the Fed’s half-point rate cut has bolster investors’ sentiment in the US. Initial jobless claims, which came in at 219,000 for the week of Sept. 14, were lower than expected and showed a decline from the prior week. In Europe, investors digested a slew of central bank rate decisions this week and their impact on the global economy," says Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities. <h3>Bullish momentum intact, but caution ahead</h3>From a technical perspective, the Sensex and Nifty are showing strong bullish momentum. The Nifty closed above the key resistance of 25,600, signaling further upside potential toward the 25,900-26,000 range. However, traders should keep an eye on the short-term profit booking, as indicated by the formation of a Shooting Star-like candlestick pattern near the index’s all-time high. Immediate support for the Nifty stands at 25,500, with additional support levels at 25,300 and 25,120, according to technical analysts. As long as the Nifty remains above 25,600, a "Buy on Dips" strategy is advisable for traders. However, if it falls below 25,620, a "Sell on Rise" approach might be more prudent. "The recent surge in major indices, particularly the high beta index BankNifty, indicates a favorable shift in market dynamics. It is recommended to capitalize on the upward momentum by taking profits, rather than adopting an aggressive stance in the overbought territory," says Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst - Technical &amp; Derivatives, Angel One Ltd. <h3>What's next for the markets?</h3>As markets head into uncharted territory, the focus will shift to key macroeconomic indicators, including inflation, geopolitical concerns, and global economic trends. While the current rally is underpinned by strong global cues and positive domestic sentiment, market participants are advised to remain cautious in the face of potential volatility. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, emphasized the need for a balanced approach: “While the 50 bps Fed rate cut is undoubtedly positive, markets should remain mindful of evolving global conditions. In the short term, foreign inflows will boost the market, but longer-term prospects depend on the global economic landscape.” As the market rally continues, the challenge will be to maintain momentum while navigating potential headwinds, including global oil price fluctuations—Brent crude settled slightly lower at USD 74.71 per barrel, a dip of 0.23%. With the Sensex and Nifty scaling new heights, the mood on Dalal Street remains optimistic, driven by a combination of domestic strength and global tailwinds. But as always, market participants should keep their strategies flexible and be prepared for any shifts in sentiment.

Sensex @ 84k: With 1,359 pts gain, benchmark index settles above historic mark

Indian banks are expected to have steady growth in earnings and returns over the next 3–4 years, according to a recent report by Jefferies. It expects a 13% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in loan growth for banks between FY24 and FY27, helmed by a supportive environment and expected adjustments in interest rates. "We expect steady growth in earnings and stable returns, Over FY24-27, the banks we cover should see 13% CAGRin loans We factor 25-50 bps cut in rates, &amp; depending on timing, NIMs will move," the report said. Depending on the timing, these rate cuts could impact banks' <keyword id="20076541" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="net-interest-margins" source="keywords">net interest margins</keyword> (NIMs), which measure the difference between interest income generated and interest paid to depositors. The report also notes that banks' net interest income (NII), a critical metric that is reflective of how much a bank earns from its lending, could grow at a steady 12% CAGR, which would support overall earnings growth. <h2>Rate cuts probable next year</h2>Per SBI Mutual Fund's monthly outlook for November 2024, while markets were initially speculating possible rate reductions in December this year or February next year these chances now stand dampened due to two reasons. First, elevated CPI numbers in September, which stood at a nine-month high, underlined the stickiness of food inflation. Secondly, RBI governor Das recently highlighted his hawkish stance at a conference, stating that "rate cuts at this stage would be premature and risky’. The report further adds that February 2025, or even April, would be a better time to discuss repo rate cuts in India. Even <keyword id="19985925" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bank-credit-growth" source="keywords">bank credit growth</keyword> has continued to outpace deposit growth for two years now. However, they seem to be inching closer in the recent past. For instance, in October 2024, while bank credit growth remained at 12.7%, the deposit growth rate followed closely at 11.8%. This also means that banks are witnessing an elevated bank credit-to-deposit ratio, standing at 77% in October. <h2>Risks in unsecured lending </h2>However, Jefferies noted some areas of caution that could influence growth in other revenue streams, particularly fees. Growth in fees may be at risk due to expected declines in the disbursal of unsecured loans, which generally carry higher interest rates and generate higher fees for banks. October saw stress and defaults rising in the unsecured lending space, prompting the RBI to intervene. As a result, unsecured loans by banks have only grown by 12.1%, the lowest since the pandemic. Despite these risks, the report expects banks' return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) to remain healthy, underscoring the sector's stable profitability potential. The report also highlights that while the Nifty Banks index has risen by 19% over the past year, it has still underperformed the broader Nifty index, which delivered 27% returns in the same period. BSE Bankex has been along similar lines, generating returns worth 19% over one year. While the Nifty banks' index has a YTD (yield to date) of 7.63%, it continues to trail Nifty's YTD of 11.30%

Experts highlighted that the stock markets are facing pressure as major economic data, including the US monthly payroll data, is due this week. If this report also comes weak, the markets may slide further. "US Monthly Payrolls data day is here. Another poor report will raise chances for a 50 bps cut on Sep 18th. A strong report will limit expectations to a 25 bps cut. US markets have been seeing outflows in the last two weeks and we expect this trend to continue as investors take a risk off stance going into Sep 18th.

Expect <keyword id="19908008" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="volatility" source="keywords">volatility</keyword> and weak markets. Positions will be kept light given the event risk this evening from the US Payrolls data" said Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert. In the broad market on the National Stock Exchange, Nifty Next 50, Nifty 100, Nifty 200, and other major indices faced pressure during the opening session. In the sectoral indices, Nifty Bank, Nifty Auto, and Nifty FMCG faced selling pressure, while Nifty IT, Nifty Media, and Nifty Pharma gained. "The Nifty 50 formed a small negative candle on the daily chart. The previous downside gap from 4th September remains a significant resistance around 25,250 levels. This technical pattern suggests a lack of market strength to overcome this resistance, indicating potential further consolidation. The short-term trend for Nifty remains choppy with a bearish bias" said Varun Aggarwal, MD, Profit Idea. In global markets, US indices closed lower for the third consecutive day. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.3 per cent to 5,503.41, while the Dow Jones dropped 0.54 per cent to 40,755.75. Conversely, the Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.25 per cent to 17,127.66. Asian markets showed mixed performances with Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.05 per cent to 36,674, while Korea's KOSPI declined 0.95 per cent to 2,551, and the Asia Dow fell 0.53 per cent to 3,475.36. The Shanghai Composite in China increased 0.12 per cent to 2,792. On Thursday, the domestic indices declined, influenced by selling pressure in select heavyweights and negative global cues. The Sensex decreased by 151.48 points, closing at 82,201.16, while the Nifty 50 fell by 53.60 points, or 0.21 per cent, to end at 25,145.10.

Nifty and Sensex dip post-Muhurat rally; experts blame THESE global factors

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 5 (ANI): <keyword id="20459350" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-stock-markets" source="keywords">Indian stock markets</keyword> experienced a significant surge of over 3 percent by the closing session on Wednesday, bouncing back from the losses incurred during the <keyword id="20515965" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="election-results" source="keywords">election results</keyword>. The NSE <keyword id="20721290" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nifty-50-index" source="keywords">Nifty 50 index</keyword> soared by 3.36 percent, settling at 22,620.35, while the <keyword id="19950208" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BSE-Sensex" source="keywords">BSE Sensex</keyword> saw a robust increase of 3.20 percent, closing at 74,382.24. Both indices surpassed their closing levels from the previous Friday, when the Nifty index closed at 22,531 points. On the day of the election results, the Nifty had plunged to a low of 21,281, and the Sensex had dropped to 46,078. Since then, the Nifty has recovered by 1,346 points, and the Bank Nifty has gained 3,250 points from the previous day's lows. "Indian market exhibited a spirited recovery driven by broad based buying across various sectors, as political stability appears assured. However, attention will remain on the formation of the government and the forthcoming RBI policy meeting. The market does not expect any change in RBI's policy stance given persistent high food inflation, and an expectation of an increase in government spending, which has led to a notable traction in FMCG <keyword id="6354298" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="stocks" source="Orion">stocks</keyword>," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services. All sectoral indices on Wednesday saw gains ranging from 2.3 per cent to 5.8 per cent. The Key sectors such as Banking, Automobile, Financial Services, FMCG, and Metal demonstrated notable increases, each rising by over 4%. In the broader market, the BSE MidCap index surged by 4.48%, and the BSE SmallCap index climbed by 2.93%. Leading the charge in this market rally were stocks like Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, IndusInd Bank, and Hindustan Unilever, each posting gains of over 5%. Other significant movers included Tata Steel, Bajaj Finance, Kotak Bank, Asian Paints, and Tech Mahindra, all of which rose by over 3%. The positive performance on Wednesday followed a turbulent session on Tuesday, where the Sensex closed at 72,079.05 points, down by 4,389.73 points or 5.74 percent, and the Nifty closed at 21,884.50 points, down by 1,379.40 points or 5.93 percent. During that session, all Nifty sectoral indices, except for Nifty FMCG, were deeply in the red. Indices such as Nifty Metal, Nifty Bank, Nifty Financial Services, Nifty PSU Bank, Nifty Private Bank, Nifty Realty, and Nifty Oil and Gas experienced the most significant declines, according to NSE data. The recovery on Wednesday reflects investor optimism and confidence returning to the market, with broad-based gains across various sectors.

It was a lackluster <keyword id="19940291" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Diwali" source="keywords">Diwali</keyword> for <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> and <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword>, with both indices closing the day in the red. While Nifty closed at 24,205.35 points, down by 0.56%, Sensex dipped around 553 points to end Thursday at 79,389.06 points. Experts noted that India needs measures on both fiscal and monetary fronts to boost growth. 34 of Nifty50 stocks saw declines, while the remaining 16 saw advances. On Sensex, only 4 scrips ended their day in the green, while 26 others remained in red. "Happy Diwali and Shubh Samvat 2081. We are going into Samvat 2081 with a consensus that markets will be challenged and will mean revert, leading to an underpowered year coming up. Predictions are at best intelligent guesstimates, so we will refrain from that. What is clear is that some countercyclical measures are needed from India, both on the fiscal and monetary front, to tackle the issue of "not as sharp growth in aggregate demand," Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert told ANI. He further added, "The festival season is key to the annual consumption numbers, and the combination of 35 lakh marriages and around Rs 4.5 lakh crores of private consumption expenditure is expected to provide some relief from a slowing growth trajectory.". Cipla (up by 9.5%), LT (up by 6.23%), ONGC (up by 2.04%), Dr. Reddy (up by 1.93%), and Mahindra and Mahindra (up by 1.61%) were among the day's top gainers. HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, TCS, Asian Paints, and Infosys were the leading laggards on NSE. As for sectoral indices, IT declined by over 3% during the day, while media, pharma, and healthcare inched up by over 1% each. Smallcaps had a gala day on the bourses today, rising by over 1%. Nifty microcaps 250 also jumped by 2.14% today. Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical, and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd, said that “Nifty opened flat and traded within a narrow range, ending the day with a negative close at 24,205. Notably, the <keyword id="19908884" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="smallcap" source="keywords">Smallcap</keyword> 100 index outperformed the benchmark, gaining about 1.15%. Meanwhile, <keyword id="20110975" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india-vix" source="keywords">INDIA VIX</keyword>, which initially surged around 4%, settled up by 0.35% at 15.57, indicating a slight cooling of volatility.". Hefty selling by <keyword id="19950996" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIIs" source="keywords">FIIs</keyword> continued well into the last day of the month, with foreign investors selling stocks worth Rs 4,613.65 crore on Wednesday. So far this month, FIIs have offloaded a staggering Rs 1,08,632.59 crore worth of stocks in <keyword id="19991358" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-markets" source="keywords">Indian markets</keyword>. DIIs, on the other hand, purchased Rs 1,03,740.09 crore worth of stocks during the month. Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical Analyst, Angel One, explained that as October concluded, it marked a challenging month for bulls, erasing gains accumulated over the past two months, with Nifty dropping more than 6%, one of the steepest monthly declines in recent times, which has impacted the monthly chart's structure. "Throughout the week, the 24,100–24,000 zone provided some support due to oversold conditions, but the index faced persistent resistance on attempted rebounds. Despite multiple efforts, prices couldn’t surpass the 24,500 level. A strong close above this range is needed before considering aggressive positions, as the market seems poised for a phase of high volatility, he continued. "The banking sector, which has shown relative strength but stalled at key levels, will be crucial in determining the market’s next move. Traders should keep a close eye on this sector for guidance. Notably, the week saw improved market breadth with several individual stocks posting notable gains. However, a selective approach remains essential in this volatile environment", continued Bhosale. The immediate focus is on the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data due later in the day to assess the Fed's policy stance ahead of the next rate decision on Nov 7. Traders see a nearly 95% chance of a quarter-basis-point Fed rate cut next week, the CME FedWatch tool showed.

Nifty and Sensex end this Diwali in red, muhurat trading to take place tomorrow

It was an all-red show on both the bourses today, with Sensex tanking 941.88 points to close the day at 78,782.24 points. <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> followed suit, dipping around 309 points to close at 23,995.35 points, hitting a 4-month low. <keyword id="20110975" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india-vix" source="keywords">India VIX</keyword>, which gauges volatility and fear prevalent in the market, rose by over 5% during the day. Out of the 50 stocks in Nifty, 42 declined during the day, while 8 advanced. A similar bloodbath was seen on Sensex, which saw only 6 of its constituents inch up today, while another 24 dipped by as much as 3%. Says Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares, “The bears dominated today's trade. In the opening trade itself, the index breached its psychological support of 24,000 with ease and continued to trade lower; however, in the last trading session, a meaningful recovery was seen that helped the index to settle the trade at 23,995.35 points.”. “All the sectors ended the day in red, with <keyword id="20304716" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="realty" source="keywords">Realty</keyword> (down by 2.93%) and Energy (down by 2.48%) being corrected the most. In the broader markets, the disparity was observed where the midcap moved in line with the frontline index while small-caps underperformed.” Amidst broader indices, the midcap 100 fell by 1.26%, while the smallcap 100 index dipped by 1.97%. Other smallcap indices, specifically the smallcap 50 index, fell by over 2% today. Clearly, the markets are on tenterhooks ahead of the US presidential election results due tomorrow and the US Fed’s meeting, scheduled for November 7, 2024. While it remains too close a call to declare anyone a straight winner at the moment, polls suggest that <keyword id="19918985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="donald-trump" source="keywords">Donald Trump</keyword> is ahead of <keyword id="20307089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kamala-harris" source="keywords">Kamala Harris</keyword> in all 7 swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).

It is largely believed that results in these states will be instrumental in deciding who makes it to the White House this time around. The FII exodus and weak corporate Q2 earnings are further pushing the Indian market down. In November so far, FIIs have offloaded Rs 211.93 crore in the cash segment Indian markets. DIIs (domestic institutional investors), which had been net buyers in October, making purchases worth Rs 1,07,254.68 crore, also turned net sellers during the first 4 days of November, selling off Rs 377.33 crore in the cash segment so far Says Lemonn’s Gaurav Garg, “From a fundamentals perspective, Indian market outlook in the short term remains weak as Q2 earnings disappointed while valuations are still not in an attractive zone despite the ~8% climbdown from all-time highs hit in late September. On a 12-month forward P/E basis, Nifty 50 is still trading at 21.2x, at about 15.7% premium to its 10-year average of 18.3x. FII selling remained a key factor even after record outflows of 1.14 lakh crores in October. Global markets are bracing for volatility post-US elections, and we are seeing the impact of these safe haven flows ahead of the event.” The Indian markets are also bracing for a 25-basis point rate cut by the <keyword id="19901377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="us-federal-reserve" source="keywords">US Federal Reserve</keyword> on November 7, 2024. Per the CME Fed Watch, a staggering 98.1% believe that a 25 basis point reduction in interest rates is on the cards. Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst, Technical &amp; Derivatives, Angel One Ltd. notes that the US election, which is due in a day, is likely to raise the volatility bar and needs to be tracked closely for the intermediate trend analysis. “For now, one must stay light on positions as India VIX heads northward to the 17-odd zone and maintain a stock-centric approach," he adds.

Eicher Motors and ONGC were up by over 3% each, while Tech Mahindra, LTI Mindtree, and HCL Tech gained over 2% each in morning trade today. On the other hand, HDFC Life and Cipla were amongst the leading laggards. All broad market indices opened the day in green and swiftly made gains of around 1% each, with the exception of India VIX, which tumbled over 5%. IT, metal, realty and oil and gas, which had witnessed a correction yesterday, quickly rebounded to gaining over 1% each in early trade. As Aditya Gaggar, director of Progressive Shares notes, "GIFT Nifty indicates a strong opening of the Indian equities around the higher end of the consolidation i.e. 24,330, and now the sustainability at the higher levels will be the key factor to watch out for. If the index surpasses the immediate hurdle then the ongoing momentum will push the Index higher towards 24,550". "The stocks from the <keyword id="20350923" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pharma-space" source="keywords">Pharma space</keyword> have performed as per our expectations, boosting our confidence to remain bullish (<keyword id="21563520" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Alkem-Labs" source="keywords">Alkem Labs</keyword>, Ipca Labs, and <keyword id="20825787" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Natco-Pharma" source="keywords">Natco Pharma</keyword>).

Considering a gap-up opening, the remaining sectors are also likely to start the session in tandem with the benchmark index but whether they hold their gains or not will have to be seen", he continued. Sameet Chavan, Head Research, Technical and Derivative - Angel One advises traders to continue with the cautious approach and watch levels closely on both sides, and trade in the direction of the breakout rather than switching sides frequently. Additionally, monitoring global markets can provide early indications of the likely direction of the breakout, he added.
