Markets are largely trading in tandem with global peers. But, the Indian Stock Markets is clearly waiting for the trigger to move forward and Q2 FY18-19 is one of them which will start from the early next week that the market participants are eying. The south-west monsoon hits some of the parts of the country last week which is a big relief.

On the technical front the Nifty took support at 10589 which is around the 89 EMA on the daily chart. In the absence of clear trend Finblab advised the investors and traders to remain cautious. For the time-being the Nifty50 has to close above 10,930 levels whiles on the downside 10,600 is a crucial support!

Indian Stock Market Weekly Analysis – A Week Gone By

Future Outlook –

The Indian Stock Markets faced huge selling pressure all through the week (except that of Monday’s trading session) due to the political drama played at the state of Karnataka after election result was out.

Though Saturday is crucial as far as Karnataka is concern, going forward markets will focus more on the corporate results that will announce early next week and the progress of monsoon in later part of the month. The movement of INR v/s USD and the crude oil prices will be closely monitored in the coming sessions as well.

On the technical front, the Nifty index likely to go down further and may find support near 10450 to 10490 levels which is its 89 DEMA.

Finblab is of the view that the Indian Markets will consolidate in the near term, 10450-10490 on the lower side and 10800-10850 on the upper side, due to lack of fresh positive news globally as well as on the domestic front, however, if the on-going correction last long it should be considered as a good opportunity for the long-term investors to buy good and fundamentally solid stocks on dips.

Indian Stock Market Weekly Analysis – A Week Gone By

Future Outlook –

The Indian Stock Markets witnessed a handsome gain on the week ended on 11 May 2018 where the Sensex was up by more than 600 points and the Nifty was up by more than 180 points backed by corporate earnings or anything else.

Going forward it is likely that the Indian Stock Markets could witness heavy volatility as it is the time for Karnataka election and it may be a big test for the BJP ahead of 2019 General Election and later on its outcome. But looking at the current trend it feels like that the ruling party at the centre will have upper hand when the result announce. Let’s wait till then.

On the technical front, the Nifty may find some resistance near 10,785 and 10,815 levels and on the lower side it can find support somewhere around 10,450 to 10,500 levels.

Higher crude oil is a reason to worry as far as India is concern and it could create some problems going forward.
