Indian Equity Summary-
Ø In the
past week, Indian Markets encountered highly volatile movements and settled in
a negative territory with losses of more than 2 percent week on week, taking
cues from global stock market which remained cautious as rising coronavirus
virus in America and Europe, the delay in the second US stimulus package has
made investors wary of the situation. As the Tug of War between bulls and bears
kept the markets shaky on the basis of mixed signals from the global front,
Nifty indices saw trade in a wider range from 11550-11950. We expect
uncertainty to grip the market in the coming sessions, as well as in the
aftermath of the U.S. election.
Ø Going
forward, global factors like development on the US elections front, US /China
relations , and domestic factors like ongoing Q2 corporate earnings season,
supreme court moratorium decisions and FII/DII inflows and USD/INR rates ; will
continue to dictate the trend of the domestic equity market. We expect the
trading range for Nifty between 11600-12,200 in the near term. However, the
index may resume its bearish bias if it breaches and sustains below 11600-11650
levels in future sessions.
