Trading Idea (Positional):
Technically, Nifty Fut-Jan (NF) has to sustain over 10775 area for further
rally towards 10815/10860- 10955 & 11095-11155 zone in the short term
(under bullish case scenario).
On the flip side, sustaining below 10750 area, NF may fall towards
10695/10640-10590/10560 & 10515/10450-10415/10360 zone in the short term
(under bear case scenario).
Technically, Bank Nifty-Fut (BNF) has to sustain over 25875 area for further
rally towards 26000/26100-262000/26250 & 26325-26615 zone in the near term
(under bullish case scenario).
On the flip side, sustaining below 25825 area, BNF may fall towards
25600/25500-25325/25200 & 25000-24850 area in the near term (under bear
case scenario).
Indian market (Nifty Fut-Jan/India-50) today (12th Jan) closed around 10684, gained another 30 points
(+0.28%) but well off the panic low of 10602 as a result of judicial crisis in
the country’s top judiciary (SC); earlier it made an opening minutes high of
10695; there was sudden panic in the market after four sitting judges alleged
that SC administration is “not in order; efforts to reform have failed”. Overall
global cues were mixed today including Asian Cues.
The allegation is serious and may undermine
investor’s trust on India’s judiciary as something may have rotten in the
system as SC may be bowing down to political pressure; thus market succumbed.
Meanwhile, PM has meet with the law minister and
CJI is scheduled to take a proper hearing & may also address a presser to
clarify the overall situation and market has also bounced back from the panic
day low on hopes of some resolution as Govt signaled to stay “neutral” amid
“war of words” between country’s top judges. Also hopes of earnings recovery in
Q3 may have helped the market today; Nifty spot made a fresh record high of
10690.40 today on power of domestic (DII) liquidity.
Market may be also concerned about fate of LTCGT
issue, but got some boost earlier on news of DDT & STT removal in the
budget. Overall, market may be looking for some excuse for long unwinding
(profit booking) and fresh shorts amid mixed report card so far & stretched
valuation; earnings has to justify the present market euphoria. All eyes may be
now on judiciary crisis & Infy earnings along with CPI & IIP data later
today.
After market hours, Infy reported Q3 PAT at
Rs.5129 cr vs est 3609; but there is an exceptional income tax adjustment
regarding US IRS for Rs.1432 cr; thus PAT may be in line with market estimate
& overall report card may be soft. Technically, Infy (CMP: 1078) now has to
sustain over 1100-1120 area for further rally; otherwise sustaining below 1045-1025,
it will come down.
Also, after market hours, Indian CPI for Dec came
higher at 5.21% vs est 5.10% (prior: 4.88%); core CPI was also on the higher
trajectory at 5.1% vs 4.9% prior. But IIP came upbeat for Nov at 8.4% vs est
4.4%; prior: 2%-R.
The trajectory of core inflation is consistently
sticky & on upwards trajectory and may be also above RBI’s projection;
coupled with that surging Brent oil around $70 & increasing chorus of
global QT, we may see a hawkish RBI in the foreseeable future.
On the other side, combination of higher IIP &
PMI may be also indicating that growth is limping back to the Indian economy
and we may have higher GDP in H2FY18 as par CSO projections (7%). But
combination of higher growth & higher inflation will not persuade RBI for any
further rate cuts not only in FY-18 but also in FY-19.
Bond market may be a leading indicator for any
market; in that sense, Indian bond market may not be so much optimistic about
prospect of Indian economy as 10YGSEC yield is still hovering around 7.454%,
eyeing the 7.50% mark irrespective of all the green shoots in the economy.
A consistently higher bond yield is always bad for
any equity market and Indian market is also not an exception. The divergence
between Indian bond & equity market may not sustain in the day ahead, if
earnings do not support the stretched market valuation.
Today, Nifty was supported mostly by ICICI Bank,
RIL, HDFC (fund raising), VEDL, Maruti, Bharti Infratel, ZEEL, ONGC, Tata Motors
& HPCL by around 48 points altogether.
Nifty was dragged mostly by ITC, HDFC Bank, TCS
(muted report card), Axis Bank, Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Fin, Bosch, UPL, Yes Bank
& Adani Ports by almost 16 points cumulatively.
Overall, Indian market today was supported by
banks & financials, automakers, media, metals & energies, while dragged
by FMCG, mixed techs, pharma, selected PSBS & private banks & property
developers/reality.
