After touching an all time high on Thursday, the BSE Sensex index shed some of its previous day's gains to open in the red today. The index is currently trading at 62,195, down 0.1% from yesterday's record closing high.

“Many favourable factors have come together to push the markets to record levels: the FOMC minutes indicating smaller rate increases, the sharp correction in crude, FIIs turning buyers, reports of impressive credit growth and capex revival and even the bad news of record Covid spread in China is turning out to be good news for India since it will accelerate the China Plus One policy. Nifty breaking the previous record high of 18,604 is only a question of time. The significant feature of this rally is that it is driven by heavy weights like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC, Infy, TCS, HCL Tech and RIL which have strong fundamentals and this makes the rally healthy. But the market is unlikely to surge from the record highs since the valuation headwind will act as a restraint. Vast majority of retail investors, particularly the newbies, have missed out on this rally since their portfolios are largely mid-and small-cap oriented. As of now, the possibility of the rally spreading to the broader market is limited.”-VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

Indian benchmark indices have inched upwards so far this year, despite global and domestic headwinds. BSE Sensex and Bank Nifty have hit fresh highs while NSE Nifty 50 index has climbed over 4 per cent so far in 2022 and is just 100 odd points shy of hitting its all-time high. India is amongst the best-performing markets globally due to strong domestic demand, robust festival season, waned covid impact, and expectations of a prolonged capex cycle, according to analysts at Parbhudas Lilladher. They remain positive on the Indian share market and suggest accumulating fundamentally strong companies in uncertain times. According to the domestic brokerage firm, urban discretionary spends remain strong and indicate strong benefit due to economic revival and demographic dividend in the coming few years.
“Investors wound up their short positions on the expiry day, triggered by US Fed minutes indicating a moderate pace of rate hikes going ahead that eventually propelled benchmark indices Sensex & Nifty to new all-time highs. Other positive catalysts such as the WTI crude oil prices staying sluggish and the falling US Dollar index and yields improved the risk appetite of investors leading to a broad-based buying. As long as the Nifty holds the support of 18400, there are chances it could hit 18600-18700 levels. On the other hand, below 18400 the uptrend would be vulnerable,”-Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research ( Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd
“Nifty started higher and extended gains during the day. The daily momentum indicator RSI remains in a positive crossover. The trend looks positive as long as it sustains above 18350 Going forward, 18350 may provide immediate support. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 18650, above which Nifty may move up further.”-Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
“Technically, Nifty has maintained its cycle of higher highs – higher lows and decisively breached its previous swing high on the daily chart. On the level front, the 18200-18300 level is expected to provide a cushion to any minor decline from the ongoing up move. At the same time, the index is well-versed to reclaim the lifetime high zone and enter uncharted territory in a comparable period. There have been contributions across the board, wherein the significant benefactors that boosted the bullish sentiments were from the Technology and BFSI space. Also, the broader end of the spectrum did exceptionally well, which we believe to continue in the coming sessions. Ideally, we expect the index to keep up its momentum and any sort of blip to be considered as a buying opportunity for the coming sessions.”-Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One
