Markets on Tuesday:
In the previous trading session on August 30 (Tuesday), domestic equities settled sharply higher. Both benchmark indices staged a stellar recovery rally a day after the market witnessed strong selling pressure due to the ultra-hawkish stance of the US Federal Reserve. BSE Sensex closed 1,564 points or 2.7% higher at 59,537 and NSE Nifty 50 surged 446 points or 2.58% to close at 17,759. BSE Midcap and smallcap indices also participated in the rally. S&P BSE Midcap index jumped 2 per cent or 491 points to end at 25,408, while S&P BSE Smallcap added 1.4 per cent or 396 points to settle at 28,651.
How to trade on Thursday
Analysts say that currently markets are at premium valuations, and continued support from foreign investors has aided domestic stocks to inch higher. “Markets made a remarkable recovery and gained over two and a half percent amid mixed global cues. Markets have completely engulfed the recent decline with a decisive up move however sustainability would be critical for a further uptick. While the global cues are still mixed, upcoming domestic data like core sector and auto sales numbers will be on the radar for cues. We recommend maintaining a positive yet cautious stance and suggest preferring top-performing sectors like banking, financials, auto, FMCG and realty for long positions,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking.
