Banking index outperformed the benchmark index and closed higher by around a percent - Religare Broking Ltd
NIFTY
* It turned out to be a muted session on Friday as Nifty oscillated in a narrow range and ended almost unchanged.
* Mixed trend on the sectoral front wherein realty, FMCG and banking were among the top performers while IT and energy traded dull.
* The consolidation in Nifty amid weak global cues indicates time-wise correction.
* One shouldn’t go overboard and restrict positions in quality midcap and smallcap names.
BANKNIFTY
* Banking index outperformed the benchmark index and closed higher by around a percent.
* Barring Axis Bank, all other private banking majors ended in green. Wherein HDFC Bank and Kotak Bank performed well.
* It witnessed strong upward momentum after registering a breakout from a potential Cup and Handle price pattern.
* Thus, we believe the bullish tone to strengthen further and banking index to surpass its previous record high levels.
