Nifty (+47, 11643): It appears that the tables have turned in favor of the bulls camp.

Nifty ended the day, up 0.30% as investors cheered an unexpected strong Chinese export data. All worldwide eyes now turn to earning season.

The big question: Will 4th quarter’s earnings live up to reputation of recent strength at Dalal Street!

Well, we will spy with one big eye and look into detail of the 4th quarter earnings from INFY & TCS. Digging deeper, commanding attention would be IT budget trends for Calendar Year 2019 and any big order wins! It’s quite natural, TCS & INFY will provide  big trigger for all IT stocks.

Now if the numbers are above street’s expectations then investors are bound to jump into our markets and bargain hunting is likely to be the theme in near term, with aggressive targets on Nifty at 11901-12000 zone. Alternatively, if INFY & TCS disappoints then obviously you know what to do…

Our call of the day suggests it may be safe to wade back into Dalal Street only If Nifty moves above 11,701 mark. Until then downside risk for Nifty at 11471 mark.

IMPORTANT THEMES FOR THE DAY:

Now if the numbers are above street’s expectations then investors are bound to jump into our markets and bargain hunting is likely to be the theme of the day. Alternatively, if INFY & TCS disappoints then obviously you know what to do…

Long story short: Stay Nimble as a volatile day on cards with lots of twist and turn.
