TECHNICAL VIEW: Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas

The Nifty has been witnessing short term consolidation for the last few sessions. On the higher side, a rising trendline & the key daily moving averages are acting as resistances whereas the 20 week moving average & the 50% retracement of the Sept – Dec 2022 rally are providing support on the downside. The overall structure shows that the index can continue with the short term consolidation in the range of 17800-18400. Within this range, the Nifty is attempting a move towards 18400. The level of 18000 is acting as an intermediate support.

MARKET VIEW: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

Investors welcomed the new year on a high note with data showing strengthening domestic business conditions. India’s manufacturing PMI rose to 57.8 in December from 55.7 in the previous month, with new orders rising at the fastest pace since February 2021. Metal stocks led the surge following reports of China raising export duties to support their domestic demand, which is positive for India. We expect 2023 to be a year to buy equities in anticipation that a large part of the global recession has already been factored in the market.
