Taking Stock: Last-hour buying pushes Nifty above 19,600; Sensex gains 100 points

Market Today

The Indian equity indices extended their winning run for the fourth consecutive session on September 6 with the Nifty above 19,600.

At close, the Sensex was up 100.26 points or 0.15 percent at 65,880.52, and the Nifty was up 36.10 points or 0.18 percent at 19,611.

Amid mixed global cues, market started on a flat to positive note but soon erased all the gains and turned negative and extended the losses as the day progressed. However, last-hour buying helped the Nifty to close above 19,600.

Outlook for September 7

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities:

Markets witnessed a choppy ride in intra-day trades but selective buying in late trades helped benchmark indices log gains for the 4th straight session. Despite the continuing upward momentum, the market is lacking depth as investors' confidence is a bit shaken due to rising global uncertainty. A fresh rise in US bond yields and the dollar index is creating uncertainty in global markets and in India, and this has once again led to offloading of local shares by the FIIs.

Technically, the Nifty took support near 19500 and bounced back sharply. A promising intraday reversal formation is indicating a strong possibility of further uptrend from the current levels. For the trend following traders now, 19550 would be the trend decider level, above which the index could rally till 19650-19700. On the flip side, fresh selling pressure could be seen after the dismissal of 19550, and below the same it could slip till 19500-19460.

Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking:

Markets traded volatile and ended marginally higher, in continuation to the prevailing recovery phase. After the flat start, Nifty inched gradually lower in the first half however a strong rebound in the select heavyweights pared all the loss. Eventually, it settled around the day’s high at 19611.05 levels. The tone was mixed on the sectoral front wherein FMCG and pharma rebounded swiftly while realty and metal ended lower. The broader indices witnessed a breather after the recent surge and closed almost flat.

Though we are seeing a rebound in the index, it lacks decisiveness due to the prevailing underperformance of the banking pack, which holds considerable weight. Besides, mixed cues from the global front are also weighing on the sentiment. We thus reiterate our view to stay focused on stock selection and avoid going overboard.
