NIFTY

* Nifty swung in both directions before finally settling on a flat note.

* FMCG and IT showed noticeable resilience while realty, metal and banking traded under pressure.

* We suggest continuing with a cautious stance as sustainability above the 24,200 zone is critical to maintain the positive tone in Nifty else the profit taking would intensify.

* We reiterate our preference for a defensive pack viz. FMCG, pharma and IT for long trades.

BANKNIFTY

* Banking index remained under pressure and closed with almost one percent cut.

* Almost all banking majors contributed to the move wherein HDCBANK and SBIN weighed in the most.

* The index has slipped below its 20 DEMA after trading in a narrow range for more than a week.

* We are now eyeing the 51350-51150 zone as next support for the index while 52,100-52,600 would cap the recovery in case of a rebound.
