Outlook for June 13

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

Markets were extremely range-bound to end with a positive bias on the back of firm global markets, as investors were cautiously optimistic ahead of the US FOMC meeting later this week. Although there are indications that the Fed may pause on rate hikes this time, any uptick in key rates could fuel pessimism over global growth and trigger a short-term correction.

Technically, the Nifty hovered between 18560 to 18630, and the narrow range activity clearly indicates indecisiveness between the bulls and bears. For traders, 18550 would be the immediate support level, above which the index could move up till 18650-18700. On the other hand, a fresh sell-off is possible only after the dismissal of 18550. Below the same, the index could slip till 18500-18450.

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

Cautious optimism was the preferred theme as benchmark Nifty fluctuated in a narrow range with investors gearing up for this week's key macroeconomic events like CPI & IIP data, US FOMC meeting and ECB rate decision. Technically, the Nifty has immediate support at 18463 and 18321, while resistance could be seen at 18778 and 18888 levels.
