August lows and below its 50 DEMA. Nifty index has been
making higher highs - higher lows from last nine months and if this formation is
negated then only medium term trend could get in bears grip.
We have the RBI policy in the first week of the month and if any decision is taken
to cut key interest rates then it may provide much needed boost to the markets.
The second quarter/half yearly results season will begin so again it's going to be a
crucial month for traders and investors alike. Broader market witnessed selling pressure
in the last month but sectors like Metals, Auto, NBFC and Pharma were finding buying
interest and expecting selective stocks of these sectors to continue to perform in line.
FIIs sold aggressively in equity markets with record outflow of INR 23969.97 Cr. for
the September month whereas DIIs bought worth INR 21025.53 Cr.
September expiry day 28th September set new records in the Indian Stock market
with FIIs outflow saw the largest single day selling worth 5328 crores and Market's
turnover crossed 15 Lac Crores for the first time ever.
INR has depreciated from its low of 63.80 and headed towards 65.98 to test its five
months high levels. Sudden jump in USD INR has given a short term concern to
Indian Equity market.
Outlook October 2017:
Nifty index got stuck in a broader range of 9685 to 10178
zones from last twelve weeks. However decline is being bought in the market, but
absence of follow up buying is keeping the upside restricted. It has rebounded from
support zones so an extended bounce could be seen but it requires a decisive hold
above 9980-10000 to negate the short term negativity to hit the new life time high
territory of 10178-10250 zones to cheer the festival season. While on the downside
support is seen at 9777 then 9685 to hold the major up trend.
