16:18 (IST) 27 Apr 2023 Where is share market headed after Nifty closes above 17900, Bank Nifty above 43000

Benchmark indices NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex ended Thursday’s session broadly in green. “The domestic market is gradually shifting towards a positive terrain, supported by FIIs inflows and positive Q4 earnings from banks. On the global front, the US Q1 GDP number which will be unveiled today is anticipated to moderate on a QoQ basis amid concerns over banking contagion and a slowing economy. The next week’s FED policy will be keenly monitored. The FED may further hike by 25bps, but the expectation is that this will represent the peak and a long pause,” said  Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

10:18 (IST) 27 Apr 2023 Nifty surge beyond 18000 appears difficult

“Nifty has broken the upper band of the 17500- 17800 range in which it has been trading recently. The rally may sustain but a significant surge beyond 18000 appears difficult in the near-term.

10:18 (IST) 27 Apr 2023 4% crash in Brent crude a positive news for domestic markets

“The 4.2% up move in Nifty helped by the 7.2% surge in Bank Nifty, came in a challenging environment. Now, there are more macro positives which can sustain this rally. The significant macro positive is the 4% overnight crash in Brent crude. This will further improve India’s CAD which is already healthy. This will have a benign effect on inflation, too, enabling the MPC to not raise interest rates further. In this scenario banking, which is already doing well, can do better,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

Expect early dips to be bought, but while positive vibes may diminish if below 17780-65 region, there is no reason yet to expect collapse for the day,” said Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

Share Market Outlook Today

08:49 (IST) 27 Apr 2023 Nifty likely to witness consolidation from higher levels

“Overall structure shows that the Nifty is likely to witness consolidation or profit booking from higher levels. However, an attempt to test 17950-18000 can be ruled out.

For the coming session, 17750 followed by 17700 would be seen as a strong support zone and on the flipside, 17850 – 17900 are the levels to watch out for. Since it’s a monthly expiry day, some volatility cannot be ruled out,” said Sameet Chavan, Head Research – Technical and Derivatives, Angel One Ltd.
