Nifty futures were trading with gains on Wednesday morning, indicating a gap-up opening for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50. Global cues including the all-important US Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium, will be closely watched for further market direction. Analysts say market has been witnessing a rotation from mid to large caps — a phenomena which could continue in the near term given the sharp outperformance of the broader market in the last 18 months. “Investors can take advantage of the current volatility and build their positions in good quality stocks from medium to long term perspective whenever there are dips in the market,” Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, said.
