Nifty Soared By Almost 150 Points After Dovish FOMC Minutes & Value Buying/Short Covering On The Eve Of 3rd Anniversary Of “Modinomics” & Better Prospect Of June Rain By Skymet; Banks Were In High Demand Along With Some Large Caps



Nifty finished the May Exp almost 1.80% higher; what’s for June?

Is the market expecting some rating upgrade of India?

Market Wrap: 25/05/2017 (17:00)

NSE-NF (June): 9492 (+119; +1.27%) (TTM PE: 24.14; Near 2 SD of 25; TTM EPS: 394; NS-9510)

NSE-BNF (June): 23000 (+506; +2.25%) (TTM PE: 31.86; Above 3 SD of 30; TTM EPS: 728; BNS-23191)

For 26/05/2017:

Key support for NF: 9495-9430

Key resistance for NF: 9550-9600

Key support for BNF: 23200-23075
\
Key resistance for BNF: 23300-23500


Time & Price action suggests that, Nifty Fut (May) has to sustain over 9550 area for further rally towards 9600-9680 & 9770-9865 in the short term (under bullish case scenario).

On flip side, sustaining below 9530-9495 area, NF may fall towards 9430-9330 & 9280-9240 area in the short term (under bear case scenario).

Similarly, BNF has to sustain over 23300 area for further rally towards 23500-23650 & 23875-24000 area in the near term (under bullish case scenario).

On the flip side, sustaining below 23250-23200 area, BNF may fall towards 23075-23000 & 22900-22700 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).

Nifty Fut (June) today closed around 9492, almost 1.27% up against Nifty Spot closing of 9510 (+1.57%) in a day marked by bull rampage and sudden expiry day short covering/value buying taking advantage of the last few days fall for lingering Ind-Pak border tensions. Buoyed by FOMC’s dovish minutes and cautious/gradual approach in US rate hike & Fed’s balance sheet tapering and coupled with positive global cues, Indian market today shrugged off the LOC/Pak tensions on the eve of 3rd year anniversary (official) of Modinomics. Market sentiment may be also boosted by Skymet’s prediction of a good June monsoon coupled with an imminent NPA resolution policy (RBI framework for haircuts etc for large NPA). NF (June) today made an opening session low of 9387 and late day high of 9507.

Today’s typical large caps buying including private banks may be an indication of big institutional value buying (DII/MF/FII), which were looking for some opportunities and dips in the market for fresh entry (long only fund). This may be also because MSCI is now not in a hurry to include China-A-50 shares in its EM index, citing lack of various pending reforms and thus, with Brazil in deep political crisis, angel investors may be finding few EM countries to invest and thus India is one of the prime & favourite destination having appeal of 4-D (development, demand, demography & deregulation) under strong political leadership of NAMO (Modinomics).

There was also some buzz of an imminent sovereign rating upgrade for India by the global rating agencies after China’s downgrade yesterday; but that may be tough proposition, considering various reasons already cited by the rating agencies, despite best efforts by the Govt/policy makers.

Except Pharma, nearly all the sectors has participated in today’s huge rally of the Indian market. Nifty was boosted by LT, Banks (ICICI/Indusind/Yes/BOB/SBI/HDFC Bk), Cements (ACC/Ambuja). But, Pharma (Lupin, DRL, Cipla/Sun) was laggard today with double whammy of subdued earnings & “ghosts” of US FDA.

Looking ahead, although Indian market now catches up the global market (SPX-500) after last few days fall, considering stretched valuation, market may also consolidate in the next few days before a decisive movement. Market may watch further developments in the Ind-Pak cross border tensions; GST disruption probabilities and any postponement of the 1st July roll out day due to industry representations to the FM over anomalies of various GST rates and lack of preparedness.

Technically, Nifty needs to sustain over 9600 area for target of 9865-10100 in the short to mid-term; otherwise it may again come down.

Globally, overnight, US market closed in positive (+0.36%) as investors cheers (??) Fed’s stance of gradual tapering of Fed’s balance sheet (QE bonds) and gradual rate hikes depending on incoming US economic data. Overall, FOMC minutes may be termed as quite dovish and June rate hike probability may be also in doubt (although FFR now indicating 80% rate hike probability, up from 75% before FOMC minutes). As a result, USD/US bond yields doomed; but SPX-500 is showing divergence (risk-on mode); may be because of short covering ahead of testimony by Comey for Trump’s alleged Russian connection issue.

Also, today Chinese Yuan (CNY) made a sudden surge, causing some risk-on sentiment across the Asian market; some China Govt/PBOC intervention is highly suspected. EU market sentiment was tepid after below expected GDP numbers from UK. Market is anticipating that something is brewing on China after its rating downgrade yesterday.

Technically, SPX-500 (2407) need to close consecutively above 2410-2420 area for target of 2480-2495 zone; otherwise it will come down.
