Banking and Financial stocks might show strength in the final week of expiry and as we come closer to the end of 2020, Gaurav Garg, Head Research, CapitalVia Global Research said in an interview with Moneycontrol’s Kshitij Anand.
Edited excerpts:
Q) We have entered the last week of 2020 – what are the important levels which one should watch out for?
A) This week was full of swings, as Nifty touched a low of 13,200 in a panic because of the identification of a new strain of coronavirus in the UK. It formed a long-tailed weekly candle showing that bulls are aggressive at every dip.The level of 13,500 will now act as a support level for Nifty as per options data for the monthly series. A strong technical set-up might lead Nifty to its all-time high levels.

Banking and Financial stocks might show good strength in the final week of expiry and as we come closer to the end of the calendar year 2020.

Q) Do you think FII momentum will slow down as head into the New Year?
A) After 2 months of huge inflows of more than Rs 1L crores, there is a scope of some sort of slowdown in FII’s inflow in the coming month as this quantum of fund inflow is unprecedented, but I believe the trend is still intact.

FIIs might continue to pump in huge money till the time we see US bond yields getting at around 1.5-2%; the quantum may decrease. FII’s uptrend of inflows was certainly a major reason to break Nifty all-time highs.
