As regards tomorrow’s trade, Bulls will get more confidence if Nifty moves above its key hurdles at 10809 mark. Above 10809, we believe the bears will get completely knocked down in the ring.
Rising crude oil prices are the only negative catalysts for our markets and bears can hang on their hopes. Long story short: The bears’ case crumbles above Nifty 10809 mark.

Our call of the day suggests Nifty should move towards 10809 mark in near term brushing aside any negative news as an aberration. The said modest relief rally has a good chance to find decent buyers as bulls will aim to keep optimism alive and shake off the sour news on the border tension which has been gripping our stock markets since last Thursday on wake of terrorist attack in Pulwana, Kashmir.
Both, the FIIs and the DIIs camp were net buyers in yesterday’s trade.
Also, boosting trading sentiments at Dalal Street would be the government’s approval of recapitalization of Rs 48,239 crore in 12 public sector bank. This decision is welcome and quite positive as it comes at a time when NBFCs are facing liquidity issue, and most importantly, the capital will help banks to be out of PCA norms so that lending can pick up and increase market share of public sector banks specially the recent banks which have exited PCA.
If you recollect, the government in December 2018 had infused Rs 28,615 crore into seven public sector.
Technically speaking and judging by yesterday’s stellar price action at Dalal Street, the benchmark Nifty will aim to move above 10809 mark to fuel further optimism. Nifty’s Jan 2019 lows at 10,583 should act as crucial support from here on. This bull market should be given the benefit of the doubt as long as Nifty stays above 10583.
Our chart of the day suggests establishing long positions in stocks like UPL, RELIANCE INDUSTRIES and REC with interweek perspective.
• Oil continues to trade firm on Saudi and OPEC cuts, now at $56 a barrel.
• Bulls came to life in yesterday’s trade as the benchmark Sensex snapped a 9-day winning streak while Nifty snapped a 8-day losing streak.
The big question: Can the bulls keep it up?
Stepping back and reviewing yesterday’s trade, the surge can be attributed to short covering and bargain hunting as trade-talk euphoria was seen as key positive catalyst.
So, all the more reason to pay attention to talks between U.S and Chinese negotiators that are aimed at ending a trade war between the world’s largest economies.
