Indian stock markets open in positive territory, Nifty eyes 20,000 milestone
The Indian stock markets opened in the positive territory on September 11, 2023, amid the mixed global cues. The benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, were trading 0.50% and 0.55% higher, respectively, at 11 am.
The Nifty hit a seven-week high of 19,800 last week, and analysts believe that the index is likely to march towards the 20,000 milestone in the coming days, provided it holds the 19,700-19,800 support level. The crucial support for the index is placed at 19,600-19,500 levels.
Options data suggests that put writers are dominant for the day, with heavy put writing at 19900 and 19800 levels. This indicates that traders are expecting a pullback in the markets, but the overall trend is still positive.
Technical analysts believe that the Nifty is in a strong uptrend and is likely to continue to move higher in the near term. The immediate support for the index is placed at 19,800, followed by the 19,700-19,500 support zone. The next major resistance for the index is placed at 20,000.
Among individual stocks, Idea, ABB, and Adani Ports saw a bullish setup, while PVR INOX, BHEL, and MCX saw a bearish build-up.
The positive sentiment in the Indian markets is being driven by a number of factors, including strong corporate earnings, improving economic growth, and positive global cues. The recent rally in the markets has also been supported by the inflow of foreign funds.
However, analysts have warned that the markets could see some volatility in the coming days, as investors will be closely monitoring the outcome of the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on September 20. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, which could impact the global markets.
Overall, the Indian stock markets are expected to continue to trade in the positive territory in the near term, but investors should be prepared for some volatility.
Here are some additional details about the factors that are affecting the Indian stock markets:
- Corporate earnings: Corporate earnings have been strong in recent quarters, and this has boosted investor sentiment.
- Economic growth: The Indian economy is expected to grow at a healthy pace in the coming quarters, which will support the stock markets.
- Foreign fund inflows: Foreign investors have been net buyers of Indian stocks in recent months, which has also supported the markets.
- US Federal Reserve: The US Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates in September, which could impact the global markets.
Investors should monitor these factors for any changes in the trend.
