Talking about the market weekly performance that ended on May 26th, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, "During the week, the performance of the domestic market was influenced by global cues, including concerns surrounding the ongoing US debt ceiling negotiations, the German recession, and hawkish comments from US Fed officials. However, a significant surge in sales projections by chipmaker Nvidia helped in the recovery of the US tech sector. The release of the FOMC minutes revealed differences of opinion regarding future policy measures, with a slight leaning towards a less aggressive approach."
Further, Nair added, "domestic investors traded cautiously during the week; however, driven by the strong growth forecast for the Indian economy, the market witnessed a smart recovery towards the end. The IT and pharmaceutical sectors rebounded due to bargain opportunities and pent-up demand."
Going ahead, Mishra said, "The tone was positive in the index amid consolidation and now recovery in the US markets combined with improved participation from the IT sector has provided the needed trigger. Besides, a strong surge in heavyweights like Reliance further added to the positivity. Since Nifty has decisively crossed 18,400 levels, we are now eyeing 18,700 to be tested shortly. Traders should align their positions accordingly."

While DIIs who kicked started the month on a selling note, made their most buying in the current week, and hence their outflow has minimized to ₹1,192.47 crore in May month up till now.
