Nifty Outlook

Markets traded firm and gained over half a percent on the day of monthly derivatives expiry. The dovish monetary policy from the US Fed boosted sentiment and triggered a gap-up start. The benchmark inched gradually higher as the session progressed however buying was restricted to select index majors. Consequently, the Nifty index ended with decent gains of 0.5% to close at 15,778 levels. Amongst the sectors, Metal was the top outperformer ending with strong gains of 5.5%. Besides, realty, IT and banking too ended with healthy gains. The broader markets outperformed wherein the midcap ended higher by 0.8% whereas the smallcap was up 0.9%.

It’s prudent to stick with a stock-specific trading approach until we see a decisive trend in the index. Earnings combined with global cues will continue to dictate the trend.
