In the previous session, domestic benchmark indices ended flat. Sensex closed at 62,294, giving up the 63,000 level but ended 20 points higher. Nifty ended at 18,512, up 0.15%, while the Bank Nifty index lost 0.2% to close at 42,983. “After clocking record highs in the previous session, domestic indices traded with volatility amidst mixed global cues and rising crude prices. While FIIs turning net buyers is a positive, the lack of fundamental triggers will limit the upside, keeping the market volatile in the short term. Rising COVID restrictions in China continue to negatively impact the global growth forecast,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
“Going ahead we expect the northward momentum to continue buoyed by positive global cues, fall in crude oil prices and gradual economic recovery. Participation of broader market too is encouraging which would help markets scale further new highs. We believe that once Nifty is able to cross its previous high of 18,604, it would steadily inch up towards 19,000 levels over the next few weeks,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
