Expert Insights
According to Vinod Nair, the Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, the domestic indices were influenced by global peers, resulting in a negative bias. However, mid- and small-cap stocks continued to outperform the benchmark index. The IT stocks rallied, reflecting hopes of a soft landing for the US economy. Despite a marginal moderation in India’s manufacturing activity for the second consecutive month in July, the market’s direction will be influenced by essential data points, including auto sales figures, US PMI, and US job data.
Shrikant Chouhan, the Head of Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities Ltd. emphasized that the market’s overall undertone remained bullish. The daily chart indicated indecisiveness between the bulls and bears, and the market could retest the level of 19650-19600 if it falls below 19700. However, a fresh uptrend rally could occur after surpassing 19800, with the index possibly rallying till 19840-19875.
Jatin Gedia, a Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, noted that Bank Nifty managed to retrace only 50% of the previous fall. Given the equilibrium line reached by the hourly momentum indicator, a pullback was expected to mature, preparing for the next leg of the down move. The analyst expects the Bank Nifty to drift lower to 45000 over the next few trading sessions.
