The Reserve Bank of India will pay Rs 2.1 lakh crore—the highest-ever surplus—as dividend to the central government for fiscal 2024, the central bank said in a press release on Wednesday. This compares with Rs 87,420 crore transferred to the government in the financial year-ended March 2023. Economists polled by Bloomberg had pegged the surplus transfer to government at Rs 1 lakh crore for the fiscal. A record dividend payout would help the government meet its budget deficit target of 5.1% of GDP.

Nifty Overview & Outlook

The Nifty benchmark index started off the day with an optimistic tone witnessed significant volatility throughout the session, ultimately concluding slightly higher than its opening mark, registering a marginal gain of 0.3%. Conversely, Bank Nifty commenced positively but with the same open and high price, thereby shedding gains, marking a decrease of 0.6% by session’s end.

On the broader front, the Midcap index closed absolutely flat, while the Smallcap index experienced a downturn of 0.4%, both underperforming the benchmark index.

Sector-wise, the Nifty FMCG index led the charge with a significant uptick of 1.4%, cushioned the markets. Similarly, the Realty index mirrored these gains, also climbing by 1.4%. Conversely, Nifty Metal and Bank Nifty exerted downward pressure, each shedding nearly 0.6%.

Not withstanding the intraday volatility, Nifty managed to surpass our mentioned resistance at 22586 which acted as the 78.6% retracement level of the previous down move. Thereby we expect the positive rally to continue in near future. Near term resistance is pegged at 22770-22800, representing the current Triple Top zone. On the downside 22435 is poised to act as the support, corresponding to the initial retracement level of the preceding upside rally.
