COMMENT:: Domestic eco indicators supporting Indian market
"The equity market is maintaining stability due to a continuous stream of favourable domestic economic indicators. Stronger-than-expected domestic PMI figures, sequential growth in auto sales, and robust expansion in bank credit are instilling investor confidence in India's growth prospects. On the other hand, the US jobs data presented a mixed picture, with non-farm payroll showing acceleration while the unemployment rate surged from 3.4 per cent to 3.7 per cent in May."

VIEW:: Nifty remains in 'Buy on Dip' mode
"The Nifty index is currently experiencing a sideways trend, indicating a lack of clear direction in its price movement. This sideways movement is accompanied by low trading volumes, suggesting a relatively lower level of market participation and activity. The index has a support level at 18,550, indicating a price level where buyers have shown interest and may provide a foundation for potential price rebounds. On the other hand, there is a resistance level at 18,660, acting as a barrier for upward movements and where sellers may become more active. Despite the sideways trend, the overall undertone of the market remains bullish. This suggests that the prevailing sentiment favors buying opportunities on dips or temporary price declines. Investors are advised to adopt a "buy on dip" approach, indicating a strategy of purchasing the Nifty index when it experiences short-term pullbacks.

VIEW:: Bank Nifty may move in a narrow band of 43,700 - 44,300
"The BANK NIFTY index lackluster movement ahead of the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) policy announcement, suggests that market participants were cautious and waiting for guidance from the central bank. The HDFC twins, likely referring to HDFC Bank and HDFC Limited, had a negative impact on the Bank Nifty index during the session. The performance of these stocks influenced the overall movement of the index. Based on the current scenario, the Bank Nifty index is expected to continue to trade within the range of 43,700 - 44,300. This suggests that the index is likely to move sideways, lacking a clear trend. However, it's important to note that a break on either side of this range can lead to a directional move, potentially indicating a shift in the market sentiment and momentum."
