IMD retains ‘Above Normal’ forecast for Southwest monsoon : Daily Market Update -28 May 2024

The country is likely to see 'above normal' rainfall during monsoon season between June and September 2024, the IMD said, reaffirming its previous forecast. The southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall over the country as a whole is likely to be 106% of the long-period average with a model error of ± 4%, the IMD stated in a press release on Monday. The forecast bodes well for India's economy, more so for the agricultural sector, which took a hit because of inequitable rainfall last season.

Nifty Overview & Outlook

The Nifty benchmark index started off Monday’s trading session on a positive note, surpassing the 23,100 mark to reach yet another all-time high. However, it couldn’t maintain this momentum and eventually closed below the previous close, experiencing marginal losses. Yet, the Bank Nifty refrained Nifty from witnessing further decline by significant uptick in both Indusind Bank and Axis Bank, each climbing by more than a percent.

On a broader market front, both the Midcap and Smallcap sectors outperformed the benchmark index, recording gains of nearly 0.6% each.

In terms of sectors, PSU Banks led the gains with a 1.3% surge, closely followed by Realty and Banks. Conversely, Nifty Media and Nifty Energy were the main laggards, experiencing losses of nearly 1% and 0.9% respectively.

The Nifty’s surge to a new all-time high nearly reached the upper trendline of an upward sloping channel pattern previously discussed in our analyses. Reaching resistance near 23,100, the Nifty reversed, forming a Doji candlestick pattern with confirmation on the hourly chart. Moreover, it almost entirely erased the prior session’s gains. Thereby, if the correction persists, we hold 22,840 and 22,755 as the next immediate support levels. However, if the recent movement is merely a pause for a better upward jerk, we maintain 23,100-23,150 as the resistance zone, followed by 23,240.
