Analyst Sahaj Agrawal, Senior Vice President: Head of Derivatives Analysis at Kotak Securities interacted with ET Markets concerning the outlook on Nifty and Financial institution Nifty the continuing sequence. Following are the edited excerpts from his chat:
Nifty nonetheless appears effectively positioned going through some resistance at its all time excessive. Do you counsel any warning right here or the “shopping for the dips” stance will probably be useful?
I’m of the opinion that markets are in a consolidative/corrective part. Anticipate lack of upside momentum until a brand new optimistic setup doesn’t mature. Having stated this, particular sectors and shares can be found at enticing valuations with definable danger reward propositions – would use the purchase on dips technique on this worth area and never within the momentum basket.
September, as it’s stated, has not been a great month for markets globally. Do you foresee any occasions that will make this true for our market once more? Or do you assume our market could also be prepared to interrupt this report similar to its earlier report of closing on new highs for 13 consecutive days?
As we communicate we don’t see a powerful momentum set off within the markets based mostly on information. That is considerably in keeping with the nervousness on account of the upcoming FED occasion and the general setup of the market being consolidative/corrective since mid-august. On the technical entrance we imagine 25350 is a crucial pattern resistance stage and till the identical is conquered a brand new setup doesn’t mature.Financial institution Nifty was gaining some momentum, even making an attempt to interrupt above the 50 DEMA. Nevertheless, it broke under its short-term EMAs additionally yesterday. What’s your outlook on the index now?
Banknifty has underperformed the broader indices since early august. Having damaged brief time period averages at present help is positioned at 100DEMA appear across the 50200 mark. In context of the broader market setup count on volatility to stay excessive for the excessive beta sector and whip-saws round crucial help zones can’t be dominated out.
Any technique for Financial institution Nifty?
At this level of time, far OTM name possibility promoting could be advisable for merchants with correct understanding of derivatives. This technique is anticipated to work effectively till a momentum based mostly set off doesn’t occur within the choices information setup. A setup maturity would point out the potential of momentum up-move within the close to time period.
Are you able to assist the merchants in understanding the right way to learn the FII-DII information to their benefit?
The material of the markets have modified over the latest years. Home dominance has elevated considerably over time. Having stated this, I’ve at all times been of the opinion that any single information parameter shouldn’t be over relied upon – they act as pillars within the general scheme of issues and are suggestive in nature. Over the previous few weeks, the DII section has been persistently brief within the markets whereas the FII section has been flip-flopping.
Sectorally, Nifty Pharma, FMCG and shopper durables are at their ATHs. Do you assume these are the themes to play?
Defensives often do effectively in risky occasions. I believe for the medium time period these sectors look enticing and must be added into significant dips.
Speaking about indices once more, the midcap 100 index can also be up, barring yesterday’s session the place the complete market witnessed a sell-off. Do you see any protected bets in that area for the merchants?
At this level of time, we wish to preserve a inventory particular strategy. There are alternatives within the midcap area that look attractive- choose midcap banks look enticing at present ranges contemplating a blended strategy of pattern and worth.
For two consecutive days, the index was dragged down by the heavyweight reliance. Regardless of its bonus problem announcement, the inventory fell by 1.4%. What’s your technical view on the counter provided that the inventory continues to be in an uptrend on the month-to-month chart? Is it more likely to take a look at its 10 interval EMA after which will probably be prepared for a bounce again?
Reliance trades with a optimistic bias with help positioned across the 2700 mark. Any correction nearer to the pattern help stage would counsel taking a danger outlined commerce contemplating beneficial risk-reward.
Any sectors to be careful for?
At present stage, Steel and Banking shares look enticing from a number of parameters. Choose shares from these sectors provide good worth with a optimistic technical setup.
Shares inside these sectors?
We like Jindal metal and energy from the steel area. From the Banking area – Axis financial institution, DCB Financial institution and IDFC First financial institution are the shares on our radar for now. All of those talked about shares present beneficial risk-reward propositions based mostly on worth and pattern evaluation.
