Technical View: Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
Nifty consolidated during the day, which can be taken as a pause before the next directional move. On the higher end, 16700 is likely to act as a resistance to the rising index value. A decisive move above 16700 may induce a rally towards 17000. On the lower end, the support is visible at 16400-16380 below which Nifty may witness a correction.
Market view: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services
After the strong recovery during the week, the domestic market trend turned cautious on Friday, as focus shifted to next week’s upcoming issues like inflation, BoE & US Fed policy. US CPI inflation recorded a 40 year high due to high gasoline, food and housing cost, adding doubts to global trend. Inflation levels in India & abroad are poised to rise even higher in March, though on a temporary basis, considering the impact of the Russia-Ukraine issue. However, if developments goes well like diplomatic progress on war, revert of commodity price and in-line rate hike decision, stock market trend should be stable & healthy as recent negative factors are largely factored in the price correction.
