After getting hit Shanghai cues during the early part of the week, markets covered some of the losses on Friday to close on an optimistic note during the week ended.
On the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the Sensex shed 233 points closing at 15,689 and the Nifty on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) fell 52 points to finish at 4,680.
It is quite interesting to note that while benchmark indices posted losses, smallcap indices have ended in the positive territory. Volumes continued to be more robust in the derivative segment than cash market indicating heightened speculative activity.
In the absence of fresh triggers, markets are likely to consolidate at current levels with an upward bias. The near term direction of the markets will be dictated by the IIP (Index of Industrial Production) data, the progress of revived monsoon and global cues.
The expectations over the financial results of companies pertaining to the second quarter may result in stock specific movements in next few weeks.
A rally in US markets ahead of the Labour Day weekend may see stocks spike during the early part of the coming week.
Chartists predict a trading band between 15,300 and 16,400 for the Sensex and 4,540 and 4,960 for the Nifty in the week ahead.
Immediate supports for the indices are between 15,320 and 15,160 for the Sensex and 4,580 and 4,520 for the Nifty. Short term targets for the indices above 16,000 and 4,740 levels are 16,180 and 16,400 and 4,820 and 4,900. Cut short term longs if indices trade below 15,400 and 4,580 levels.
Don’t trade on the basis of “tips.” In other words, “trade with the trend, not your friend.” Trade with a plan and stick to it.
