Here are experts’ equity calls for the day on how the market is expected to trade:
Laurence Balanco of CLSA: The 6,330-6,340 resistance zone and the bearish price/momentum divergence on weekly and daily chart suggests Nifty is not set to record a sustained breakout at this time. In the near-term, we are looking for downside risk in the 5,800-5,900 area. While not our base case, if price action penetrated the 6,330-6,340 resistance to a new high, 6,500 would be the next target. It would also suggest start of a long-term uptrend.
Aditya Narain of Citigroup: The quarter's earnings could be a mood booster; but we wouldn't jump the gun, on either material earnings upgrades, or the market. We see our FY14 and FY15 earnings estimates holding and expect the market to generate a relatively modest 5 percent return for 2014.
