Positive global clues and reducing risk of large interest rate hike helps Nifty reclaim 16200 levels.
Nifty above 16200. The benchmark indices began the week on a firm note and closed in the green, aided by positive global clues. The market anticipates better-than-expected earnings, stable economic data, and reduction in the risk of larger-than-expected interest rate hike.
The shares of beaten-down sectors such as IT, metals, and consumer durables led today’s rise. The Nifty ended above 16200 by a comfortable margin; earlier on July 8, it closed at 16221 but could not hold the gains. The big question is if it can maintain above 16200 levels?
Today Nifty opened with a gap up of 102 points, remained in the green throughout the trading session. It closed at 16278.50, up 229 points, or 1.43 percent. During the day, it reached a high of 16288 and a low of 16142. The Nifty made a higher high and higher low compared to previous closing values and closed near the day’s high.
The advance-decline ratio was 2.79 today, while market breadth was positive. The volatility index India Vix, on the other hand, decreased 2.48 percent to settle at 17.16. This is the lowest reading of volatility index since April. Furthermore, FIIs were net buyers today.
