Commenting on Bank Nifty, Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said, “The week ended on a high note with the bulls in bank nifty having complete control and thrashing the bears left right and center. The Index remains in a buy-on-dip mode with immediate support at the 36800 level. The upside resistance stands at 38,000 where the highest open interest is built up on the call side and once breached will see a further rally towards the 38,500-39,000 zone.”

“Wall Street staged a robust recovery after a shaky opening due to a contraction in the US economy, as the market perceived that aggressive monetary policy will soon come to an end. This added optimism in the domestic market, and the rupee strengthened against the dollar increasing appetite for FIIs,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

European shares advanced Friday after a mixed session in Asia, where Chinese markets retreated after the country’s leaders acknowledged the slowing economy won’t hit its official 5.5 per cent growth target this year.
