Nifty Overview & Outlook

Benchmark Nifty index settled higher at 24836 spot levels after adding 225 points to its previous closing values post RBI policy outcome.

Buying was seen across the board. Mid and Small cap indices rose 0.89% & 1.10% respectively.

Performance on the sectoral front was no different. Amongst them, Nifty Media was the top performer, gained nearly 4% followed by Banking and Finance pack that rose around 1.5% driven by 2% gains in Private bank index.

Technically, Nifty index bounced back from the trendline support placed around 24600 spot levels. Going ahead, the bounce back rally which started last Wednesday might take it up to 24950 spot levels, however, a decisive close above 25000 spot levels hold the key for any sustainable up move. Hence, we suggest a cautious stance until Nifty index crosses above 25000 spot levels on closing basis.
