Indian Equity Summary:
· The Indian market closed negative during last week. Equity market volatility was high as Nifty and Sensex dropped by 3.95 percent and 3.75Ø percent respectively on a WoW basis as it tracked poor global cues ,in the midst of economic recovery uncertainty due to increasing COVID-19 infections and expiry of the September derivatives contract. Talks are on for another round of fiscal measures by the GOI before the festive season which may give necessary impetuous to the consumption side and may prove positive for the equities market. On the other hand the $2.2 trillion coronavirus package that could be voted on next week in US can give a massive boost to the US economy and the world markets.
· Going forward, global factors like development on the US -China relationship front , US elections ,IndiaØ & China border issues while domestic factors like FII/DII inflows , inflation trajectory and USD/INR rates ; will continue to dictate the trend of the domestic equity market. We expect the trading range for Nifty between 11800-11,300 in the near term. Markets may consolidate within a wider range, demonstrating clearly that a sideways movement is more probable than an outright reversal.
