11:00 AM: V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
“The 9% rally in Nifty in July is in sync with the 9% rally in S&P 500. The pull back in US and other developed markets was facilitated by the strong employment numbers and resilience of the US economy, triggering hopes that the US might succeed in avoiding a recession, or if the recession happens, that would be a mild one.
The big positive for the Indian market is the FPIs turning buyers in July after 9 months of relentless selling. The sharp decline in the dollar index from above 109 to below 106 now indicates that the flight to the safety of the dollar is over for now.
At 17,150 Nifty valuations are again moving to the higher side. So at higher levels investors have to exercise caution. After the expected run up in financials, now, capital goods, autos particularly PV and CV segments and select pharmaceuticals look interesting. High quality financials will continue to be resilient.”

9:13 am: Expert take
Prashanth Tapse – Research Analyst, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
“Domestic equities are likely to see a positive start following gains in other Asian indices after a firm US markets close on Friday boosted investors’ sentiment. After the Fed rate hike decision last week, all eyes will be on RBI MPC’s interest rate decision on August 5. The street expects the RBI to hike repo rates by another 50 basis points to 5.4% from the current 4.9%. The market will also keep an eye on the July auto sales numbers to trickle in later today, as this would be an likely indication of the health of the macro economy. However, we suspect that the benchmarks at Dalal Street will exhibit volatility with any excessive upside capped around 17500-17750 zone and probably collapse heavily if Nifty slips below its biggest support at 16901 mark.”
8:34 am: Expert take
Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities
“The underlying trend of the Nifty is sharply up. The unfilled opening upside gaps, sharp vertical up move and the decisive upside breakout of significant overhead resistance indicate more upside ahead for the market ahead. The next upside targets to be watched are around 17,600-17,800 levels in the next few weeks, but minor downward corrections/consolidations in between can’t be ruled out. Important support is placed at 16,950-16,800 levels.”
