16:21 (IST) 2 May 2023 Where is share market headed after Nifty ends above 18140, Bank Nifty above 43350
Benchmark indices NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex ended Tuesday’s session in the green territory. “Defying the trend in global peers, Indian benchmark indices continued their upward momentum, fuelled by strong Q4 earnings and favourable domestic macroeconomic data. The manufacturing PMI surpassed expectations due to an increase in new business, moderation in price pressures, and improved supply chain conditions. Additionally, the GST collection in April was the highest recorded to date. While Western markets traded with mild cuts ahead of the US Fed policy announcement, the domestic market benefited from strong inflows by FIIs,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

13:31 (IST) 2 May 2023 Buying in Banks, Auto, FMCG made markets rally in April
April month turned out to be a favourable one for participants, after four months of dismissal performance. The benchmark indices gained over 4% and settled closer to the month’s high as well. Analysts expect the positive tone to continue however Nifty may take a breather around the 18,100-18,200 zone first before inching towards the 18,350. In case of any dip, 17,850 would offer the needed cushion. The banking index has been leading the recovery phase and inching closer to its record high now. Though the positive tone would continue, it may lose some momentum now and face resistance around the 43,500 level first. In case of any profit taking, the 42,000-42,600 zone would act as a support. We reiterate our preference for the private banking majors and suggest choosing selectively from the PSU space.

08:57 (IST) 2 May 2023 Nifty likely to trade in range of 17800-18500
“Markets may start on a cautious note amid fall in SGX Nifty and overnight weakness in the US markets. But recovery in other key Asian gauges could provide some relief to investors. Adding to the recent optimism would be the robust monthly GST numbers, which hit a new all-time high in terms of collections in April, indicating that the domestic economy continues to be on strong footing despite global macroeconomic challenges. However, some amount of caution could prevail after the last week’s upsurge and it wouldn’t be surprising if profit-taking comes into play. Technically, the Nifty options data suggests Nifty is likely to be in a trading range of 17800-18500 zone,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
