Indian Equity Summary-
· On the back of improving the country 's macro scenario and strengthening of the rupee, the domestic stock market rallied in line with returns from major global peers. With the midcap stock also having stellar rise; whopping gains over five percent for the Nifty and more than twelve percent for the Bank Nifty on a weekly basis and a broad-based rally, shows that the market feels that the uncertainty is behind us and in the foreseeable future we are likely to see some powerful rally.
· Going forward, with the uncertainty due to US elections moving out of the way volatility will reduce substantially leading to money moving towards the riskier assets; domestic factors like ongoing Q2 corporate earnings season, supreme court moratorium decisions and FII/DII inflows and USD/INR rates ; will continue to dictate the trend of the domestic equity market. We expect the trading range for Nifty between 11900- 12,500 in the near term and trade with a positive bias.
