Indian Equity Summary-
· Optimism had rubbed its positive impact on the domestic market over the initial performance of Pfizer's Covid vaccine and the outcome of the US presidential election. Nifty and Sensex ended on a WoW basis in green and increased by ~4 percent. The government announced a series of stimulus initiatives, including credit support for stressed sectors, employment creation incentives and multiple measures for construction and housing, as boosters for the Covid hit economy under Aatmanirbhar Bharat 3.0, which boosted the market sentiment.
· 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, 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 12500-13000 in the near term and trade with a positive bias.
