IT, Pharma, Metal Stocks Push Markets to New Highs

Our Analysis

The Indian equity market had a sensational bull run throughout this week. The current optimistic tide concludes the bullish trend for the market, vanishing the pessimism across the street. There was a strong comeback by the FII, which had fled away after the higher surcharge. Moreover, the strategic disinvestment from PSU, along with the further hope of the stimulus package from the government added the sentimental boost among market participants.

Going ahead, the on-going Q2 result of the heavyweights would be the major driver for the benchmark. Moreover, the positive development in the US-China Trade talks & Brexit would provide addition clues globally.

Technically, Nifty is at a sweet spot to test the 12,200 level this year. Considering this the Investors should utilize the buy on dips strategy with the stock having the key fundamental catalyst. The levels to watch would be 11,480 in downside & 11,850 in the upside.
