Kshitij Anand Moneycontrol News
The S&P BSE Sensex rallied over 100 points while the Nifty50 rose above its 200-days moving average (DMA) in morning trade on Thursday after the Federal Open Market Committee on expected lines hiked rates by 0.25 percent to take the upper range from 1.50 percent to 1.75 percent at the conclusion of the two days meeting.
"The Fed even is neutral to positive for the markets for the following reasons. a) relief that only two hikes are expected this year, and b) surprisingly the inflation number has not been revised upwards," VK Sharma, Head PCG and Capital Market Strategy at HDFC Securities told Moneycontrol.
"The Fed kept its inflation forecast for the next two years the same even though it sees a stronger economy and falling unemployment rate. The central bank predicted inflation, as measured by its preferred PCE gauge, would average 1.9 percent in 2018 and 2 percent in 2019," he said.
For Indian markets, in particular, the near-term implications of the Fed policy are less hawkish than what the markets had penciled in, and the current rate hike will not pressurize the RBI to hike rates.

Titan Company Ltd: BUY | CMP: Rs 872| Target: Rs 1048| Stop loss: Rs 768 | Return 20%| Time frame: 6 months
The share price of Titan Company has remained in a secular uptrend since December 2016 as it continues to form a higher peak and higher trough in the long-term chart.
Within this structural uptrend, the stock has undergone periodic phases of consolidation providing fresh entry opportunities for investors to ride the uptrend.
We believe the sideways consolidation over the last 11 weeks has approached maturity while the stock provides a good entry opportunity with a favorable reward/risk set-up for medium-term investors to ride the next up move within the larger uptrend.
The key support base for the stock is placed around Rs 770 region as it is the trend line support joining previous lows December 2016 (Rs 307) and September 2017 (Rs 564), which also coincides with the recent trough of December 2017 thus making it a major support for the stock.
Considering the overall positive price structure and above-mentioned technical observations, we expect the stock to continue its current uptrend and head towards Rs 1048 in the medium term as it is the price parity of the previous major rally from Rs 564 to Rs 839 (839-564=275 points) added to the December 2017 low of Rs 773 projects upside towards Rs 1048 (773+275=1048) in the medium term.
Merck Ltd: BUY | CMP: Rs 1510| Target: Rs 1750| Stop loss: Rs 1390| Return 16% | Time frame: 6 months
The share price of Merck is in strong uptrend forming a higher peak and higher trough in the long-term chart since February 2016 as it rallied from Rs 617 to January 2018 all-time high of Rs 1686.
Within this structural uptrend, the stock has undergone periodic phases of corrective decline providing fresh entry opportunities for investors to ride the uptrend.
In the present scenario, we believe the stock has undergone a healthy corrective phase over the last nine weeks and is currently attractively placed near key value area of Rs 1450-1500, thus providing fresh entry opportunity from a medium term horizon
The stock in the last few sessions has been witnessing base formation around the major support area of Rs 1450-1500 as it is the confluence of the following technical parameters:
a) Rising trend line support joining the lows of December 6, 2017 (Rs 1081) and February 6, 2018 (Rs 1428) placed at Rs 1500 levels
b) 38.2 percent retracement of the previous major up move (Rs 1081- 1686) placed at Rs 1455 levels
Based on the above technical observation we believe the risk-reward remains favourable and offers a fresh entry opportunity
Time wise the stock has already taken nine weeks to retrace just 50 percent of the previous seven weeks up move (Rs 1081 to Rs 1686). Shallow price wise correction and elongated time wise consolidation highlights the robust price structure.
Considering the robust price structure and above mentioned technical observations we expect the stock to continue its current uptrend and head towards Rs 1766 in the medium term being the 123.6 percent external retracement of the entire previous Decline (Rs 1686-1350) placed at Rs 1766 levels
