Outlook for September 12

Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking

Markets traded in a subdued manner on Thursday and ended marginally higher, taking a breather after the recent surge. After a positive start, the Nifty moved in a narrow range throughout the session and finally settled at 25,005.5 level. Sectoral performance was mixed, with energy and pharma emerging as top gainers, while IT and auto witnessed profit booking. Meanwhile, the broader indices remained largely flat, underperforming the large-cap space.

It appears that markets have absorbed the initial reaction to favorable developments such as GST reforms and optimism around US–India trade talks, and may now witness a brief pause. However, rotational buying across key sectors and early signs of a reversal in themes like defense and railways are likely to keep the undertone positive. Amid this backdrop, we continue to advocate a “buy on dips” strategy in the index and suggest focusing on accumulating quality names across sectors and themes that are moving in line with the benchmark.

Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities

The upmove with range bound action continued in the market on Thursday and Nifty closed the day with modest gains of 30 points. After opening on a negative note, the market recovered initially but later shifted into a usual small range movement and that continued till the end.

A small positive candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper shadow. Technically this action signals a range bound action in the market. Though, Nifty placed at the crucial hurdle of 25000 mark (down sloping trend line and previous two weeks highs) but not showing any strength to witness a decisive break out of the hurdle. The recent opening upside gap of 9th and 10th Sept remains unfilled.

The underlying trend of Nifty remains positive with choppy movement. Any failure to move sharply above the important resistance of 25000-25100 levels in the next 1-2 sessions could open short term weakness in the market. Immediate support is at 24800.
