A) The Nifty50 ended flat with gains of 0.4 percent. The index was trading in a narrow range of 230 points but Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap gained by 3.8 percent and 6 percent respectively for the week.

The price action was led by reclassification of multicap funds announced last weekend, while incremental positive news flow in IT getting new deals, incremental positive revenue guidance, midcap IT stocks Happiest Minds getting listed and Healthcare companies receiving new drug approvals led to a sharp outperformance to gain by 6.4 percent and 8.9 percent for the week.

A) The 50-Day average placed is at 11,265 for Nifty which continues to remain strong support and will act as a reversal point of the current up move.

On the higher side, a crossover above 11,600 levels would turn the monthly candle positive and witness short covering surpassing as 11,600 CE has the highest OI of 33 lakhs shares.

The price volatility would increase in the ban stocks being the monthly expiry for rollover to the next series.

A) The small and midcap have started to outperform over the last two months as the earnings were better than expectations and crossover of the long-term averages have led to sharp outperformance.

The Nifty50 has gained by 14 percent while the Midcap index has added 20.6 percent and Smallcap index by 33.3 percent over the last thee months.

A) We have been maintaining a positive bias on both the sectors as they are global plays. Pharma has been the leader of the current up move since the start of the rally from April 20 after a huge underperformance over many years.

Regular drug approvals from USFDA, improved pricing in international markets and weaker currency led benefits have accrued for the sector.
