Day trading guide for today: Domestic equity benchmarks Nifty 50 and the Sensex closed with decent gains in the previous session, on gains led by select heavyweights, including HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, and ICICI Bank, amid mixed global cues.
Nifty 50 closed 89 points, or 0.45 per cent, higher at 19,783.40. Sensex ended at 65,930.77, up 276 points, or 0.42 per cent. Mid and small caps also ended in the green but they underperformed the benchmarks.
The frontline indices are up over 3 per cent each in November so far, despite volatility, on hopes that the US Fed is done with rate hikes as recent data showed inflation easing and the job market cooling in the US.
On the outlook for Nifty today, Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking Ltd said, ‘’We need participation from the banking majors to overcome the hurdle at 19,850 in Nifty else the consolidation phase will continue.''
‘’Meanwhile, upbeat global cues, especially from the US markets, would continue to aid the positive tone. Traders should align their positions accordingly and stay focused on stock selection,'' added Mishra.
‘’Technically, Nifty needs to reclaim the 19,889 mark to unleash fresh upside. Nifty’s biggest supports are placed at the 19,471 mark,'' said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
On the outlook for Bank Nifty, Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities said that the index persisted in a sideways momentum, characterized by lower volumes, and remains near its 20-day moving average (20DMA).
‘’Immediate resistance on the upside is situated at 44,000, marked by higher call writing, and a breakthrough above this level is expected to initiate short-covering moves. On the downside, support is established at 43,300, and a breach below this level may pave the way for a decline towards 42,800,'' added Shah.
US Federal Reserve officials agreed at their last policy meeting they could take a cautious approach to raising interest rates moving forward, and would only need to move them higher if data showed insufficient progress in lowering inflation.
"All participants agreed that the (policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee or FOMC) was in a position to proceed carefully," according to minutes of the October 31-November 1 session that were released on Tuesday.
"Participants noted that further tightening of monetary policy would be appropriate if incoming information indicated that progress toward the Committee's inflation objective was insufficient," the minutes said.
US stocks edged lower after the release of Fed minutes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 75.63 points, or 0.22 per cent, to 35,075.41, and the S&P 500 lost 10.25 points, or 0.23 per cent, to 4,537.13.
