Key support for NF: 10730/10695-10640/10590

10785/10805-10860/10905

Key resistance for BNF:

Trading Idea (Positional):
On the flip side, sustaining below 10785 area, NF may fall towards 10730/10695-10640
& 10590-10540 zone in the short term (under bear case scenario).
Technically, Bank Nifty-Fut (BNF) has to sustain over 26250 area for further
rally towards 26325-26415 & 26580-26615 zone in the near term (under
bullish case scenario).
On the flip side, sustaining below 26200-26100 area, BNF may fall towards
25800-25600 & 25400-25200 area in the near term (under bear case scenario).
Indian market (Nifty Fut-Jan/India-50) today (15th Jan) closed around 10745, jumped by around 59 points
(+0.55%) after making an opening session low of 10711 & mid-day high of
10774; but broader market has faced some selling pressure mirroring similartrend in China & HK and flat opening of EU market contrary to earlier solid
gains.
Indian market sentiment was today boosted by renewed
optimism about private banking space on hopes of corporate earnings revival
(+21% in Q3FY18?) and B/S & NPA/NPL clean up despite mixed set of report
cards so far and banking digitalization optimism.
Also, fund raising and growth in affordable
housing may have boosted HDFC today and along with that rally in other private
banks (HDFC/ICICI/AXIS Bank) has supported the market today; both Nifty &
Bank Nifty has scaled fresh life time high of 10782.65 & 26091.80 on
portfolio buying & power of DII liquidity.
Meanwhile, Indian WPI for Dec came lower at 3.58%
vs est 4% (prior: 3.93%; WPI is Indian version of PPI; although a lower WPI may
result in lower inflation in the coming days, it’s may be also an indication of
tepid pricing power by the manufacturers and subdued demand/economic activity;
Dec Core WPI came at 3.1% vs 3% (MOM), almost at same level; fall in
food/vegetable inflation may be seasonal (Winter).
Also, mixed macro data released on Friday,
specially higher IIP may have boosted the market sentiment today despite higher
core inflation, which may force RBI to take a hawkish hold stance in the days
ahead, if not a hawkish hike.
But some reports that GST return process may be
simplified only after March’18 may have also affected the overall market
sentiment today as it was supposed to be done by Jan’18; GST software need to
be upgraded for that.
GST May Be Delayed:
Indian version of GST is very complicated with
various types of GST (SGST/CGST/IGST etc) and multiple rates (six) and a
cumbersome return filling & compliance process; for GST to be successful,
it need to be much more simplified under one tax one nation idea as perceived
originally.
Overall Indian market sentiment was also being
supported by ongoing global goldilocks rally and hopes for a market friendly
budget, but boiling oil & central bank quantitative tightening (QT) and US
corp tax cuts may be some of the spoilers in the coming days apart from mixed
report cards & fiscal worries.
Indian market sentiment may be also affected due
to ongoing “mini-war” at Pak LOC in Kashmir; yesterday Indian army chief
signaled for a “tough action” against Pak army amid ongoing “war of bullets”.
Also, jitters at India’s top judiciary regarding
various issues & some politically sensitive cases related to ruling party
may be far from over and looking ahead that may dent the confidence of the
market & investors.
Overall, current rally in the Indian market may be
a combination of global euphoria & expectations of earnings recovery &
a market friendly budget.
After market hours, Indian trade data came little
subdued.
Nifty was today supported mostly by HDFC, ICICI
Bank, HDFC Bank, ZEEL, Kotak Bank, Ultratech Cement, Axis Bank, Tata Steel, IOC
& Ambuja Cements by around 117 points altogether.
Nifty was dragged mostly by Bajaj Fin, Eicher
Motors, TCS, Tata Motors, Maruti, ONGC, Indusind Bank, Yes Bank, HCL Tech &
Gail by almost 40 points cumulatively.
Overall, Indian market was today supported by banks
& financials, media, metals to some extent, while dragged by selected
private banks, automakers, exporters/techs/pharma (lower USD), infra, mixed
energies (higher oil) & consumption stocks.
