Tech View :: 'Positive trend in Nifty, Bank Nifty to continue in near-term'

Nifty50
On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty closed above 24,400 suggesting that there is likely to be more upside over the next few trading sessions. The next target of the upside is 24,610 which is the 161.82% fibonacci retracement level of the previous fall and also the daily upper Bollinger band.
 
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty witnessed a consolidation. It is trading around the lower boundary (52,000) of the broad range 52,000 – 53,500 and hence likely that the Bank Nifty can witness positive momentum towards 53,000 from short term perspective.

Comment :: 'Equity flows continue to be strong, and sectoral themes seem to be seeing strong interest'

June was a watershed month for the MF (mutual fund) industry, with the AUM (Assets Under Management) number hitting Rs 60 trillion for the very first time, closing at Rs. 61.3 trillion.

We have added Rs 10 trillion in just six months. The addition in six months is equal to what we were as an industry ten years ago!
 
Equity flows continue to be strong, and sectoral themes seem to be seeing strong interest. Most categories in equity have been positive, including Value and Contra, which were tepid until now.

The Arbitrage category has softened in terms of flows in the last two months. Multi-asset funds saw strong inflows as investors sought to diversify risk.
 
Fixed income flows have been negative, except for money market and low-duration funds, which saw positive flows largely driven by higher yields and quarterly crossover investments.
