Nifty (+128, 11062): Nifty ends in green for fifth consecutive day.
The benchmarks Nifty & Sensex were seen racing on their BMW’s & Mercedes as Nifty ended above the important psychological 11,000 mark while the Sensex was just shy of its magical 37,000 mark.
That said, the average stocks were in a pickle. The WOW feeling was missing!
Broader market underperformed. The market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market, was negative. The BSE Mid-Cap index fell 0.12%. The BSE Small-Cap index rose 0.05%. Both the indices were seen underperforming severely.
Now technically speaking, and judging by today’s price action at Dalal Street, the benchmark Nifty is likely to inch towards its make-or-break hurdles at 11,111 mark.
The biggest catalyst for tomorrow’s trade will RBI’s policy meet.*
Yes, with Budget 2019 done and dusted, all anxious eyes will now be on the Reserve Bank of India as to how it will react on Budget announcements in its policy review.
Meanwhile, at the time of writing, there was little reaction to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Now before we sign off for the day, let’s look at major instruments.
