Comment :: 'Stay stock-specific in broad-based rally'

Participants are taking comfort from stability in global markets amid mixed cues and we expect the prevailing tone to continue. We are now eyeing the 19,350+ zone in Nifty. Since all sectors are now contributing to the move, the focus should be on stock selection and the same holds for the midcap and smallcap pack as well.

Comment :: 'Positive global cues pushing domestic markets to record highs'

The lack of global support had restrained the Indian indices from pursuing their record highs earlier, despite the presence of a resilient domestic macroeconomic background. With positive surprises assisting buoyancy in the global market and the advance of the southwest monsoon, the domestic market succeeded in marching to new highs with renewed strength. Global investor sentiments were uplifted by a favourable revision in Q1 GDP, a fall in jobless claims, and the positive outcome of the Fed’s US bank stress test.
