Global MarketsEarlier, Wall Street ended higher on Thursday, nudging S&P 500 and the Nasdaq nearer to record highs after the Israel-Iran ceasefire eased geopolitical concerns and a raft of economic indicators appeared to support the case for a US Fed rate cut this year. Asian shares hit their highest level in more than three years, tracking the Wall Street rally.
Outlook for June 30Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP SecuritiesThe Nifty continued to move higher as investor confidence remained strong. With no major resistance seen before 25,750–25,800, the index may continue its upward trajectory. However, the rally might not be sharp, and it could take time to reach the 25,800 mark. A buy-on-dips strategy appears more appropriate at current levels, following the sharp rise over the past few days. On the downside, support is placed at 25,500; a break below this level could lead to consolidation.
Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare BrokingMarkets edged higher on Friday, extending the ongoing uptrend and ending the session with modest gains. After a flat start, the Nifty gradually moved up during the first half, followed by a range-bound phase until the close. It eventually settled near the day’s high at 25,637.80.
On the sectoral front, most indices contributed to the up move, with energy and pharma emerging as the top gainers. The broader indices also maintained their positive momentum, posting gains in the range of 0.3% to 0.86%.
The recent geopolitical stability has improved risk sentiment, as seen in the broad-based market participation. Moreover, positive developments around potential trade agreements could further strengthen the bullish bias. We continue to recommend a “buy on dips” strategy on the index, with an emphasis on selective stock picking for better opportunities.
