Nifty Outlook:

Markets witnessed a swift rebound and gained half a percent, taking a breather after the recent dip. After the initial downtick, the benchmark inched gradually higher as the session progressed and finally settled around the day’s high. Mostly sectoral indices participated in the move wherein banking, auto and metal were among the top gainers. In line with the move, the market breadth was also inclined towards the advancing side.

The recovery indicates that bulls are not in the mood to surrender easily and we expect the rebound to extend further till the Nifty upholds 17,300. However, mixed global cues combined with scheduled monthly expiry of August month contracts would continue to keep the participants on the edge. We thus recommend staying light and waiting for some stability.

News:
