Dalal Street trades with a positive bias on renewed hopes of U.S-CHINA trade-deal hopes. On Saturday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters that the U.S. and China were moving closer to an agreement on trade.

This optimism is in the backdrop of positive Wall Street cues in Friday’s trade where major market indices notched gains on a backdrop of series of strong bank earnings, led by JPMorgan that boosted confidence in the U.S. economy.

We suspect – worldwide investors will spy with one big eye and ponder over how this earning season will pan out.

Obviously, the earnings season is important as will portray fresh clues about the trajectory of the global economy.

Meanwhile, the positive takeaway as of now is that the market breadth, indicating the overall health of the market was positive.

(Nifty 11674, Up 30 points): Supported by positive global cues, the key benchmark indices have extended their gains. Markets are expected to remain volatile in the near term till investors get more clarity from the ongoing elections.

Any corrective decline should be considered as healthy and should be used as an opportunity to initiate long positions.

Our call of the day which suggests that the benchmark Nifty is most likely to hit its all-time- high at 11761 mark and probably after that only its time worry.

We still suspect that a positive end to US-China trade dispute can drive optimism at world-wide stocks markets and thus shedding worries of global growth.

Also, the positive takeaway from last week’s trade is that the street is seen focusing on forthcoming earnings and most importantly, the chatter around recession fears look to be a distant memory.

Meanwhile, Nifty’s make-or-break support for today’s trade is at 11589. Below 11589 mark, Nifty likely to slip towards 11471 mark.

Our chart of the day suggests establishing long positions in stocks like AXIS BANK, AMBUJA CEMENTS; VGUARD on any early weakness.
