On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C Mehta, said, "The Bank Nifty index opened on a positive note and maintained strength throughout, settling the day on a bullish note at 50,441 levels. Technically, daily, the Bank Nifty has broken the short-term consolidation of 49,530-50,250 and has remained above it, indicating strength. According to this breakout, the index may test the levels of 50,800-51,000. On the downside, immediate support is near the 50,000 mark."
Asked about the outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect the momentum in equities to continue driven by positive global cues, strong domestic macros, and focus on increased government spending in the upcoming budget."
"The US retail sales data released yesterday was softer than the market expectations, which put the US dollar and US Treasury yield under pressure. As the US retail sales data has failed to meet the market expectations, the buzz for the US Fed rate cut has gained momentum, and the market is expected to react positively to such developments," said Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities.
