"Market moods are swinging wildly each day. After the 5-day losing streak, the Dow rebounded sharply yesterday with a gain of 586 points indicating the return of the bulls. In India, for some time now, this has been a 'buy on dips market' strongly favouring buyers. But at high valuations, the risk-reward ratio is slowly turning unfavourable to buyers. The market might be discounting a sharp recovery in corporate earnings expected this year. Also, the expansionary cycle of growth & earnings might gather momentum, going forward. Stay invested in high-quality large caps but be selective & cautious in mid-small caps. Brent crude at $ 75 is a macro concern for India while softening dollar index is emerging market positive," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
For the day, the Indian Rupee will take cues from upbeat domestic equities on FII and QIP flows, correction in the US dollar index and optimistic domestic sentiment. Further, it is expected to trade in the range of 73.90-74.30. On the domestic front, the indices were seen strongly rebounding from lows over the last two days as buying emerged on every dip. The receding higher COVID cases, reopening of the economy along with highest ever jabs above 80 lacs under new vaccine policy which started yesterday on Yoga day sets optimistic sentiment across the domestic financial market. Along with FII inflows, Indian Bank QIP worth INR 4,000 crore could be in favor of Rupee. However, RBI and oil importer’s bid on every dip will not allow the USDINR pair to break 73.50-70 zone easily. Under this state, we expect that the pair to consolidate in the range of 73.50-74.50 over the short term before any triggers open the doors towards 75.20-75.50 levels.
