11:42 (IST) 24 Nov 2022 Insurance Companies stocks in focus

The IRDAI has proposed another set of draft guidelines for the expenses of management and commissions for both life and non-life companies. For general insurance and health insurance companies, the revised draft proposes a 30-35% expense cap. The big change in the revised draft commission guidelines is the proposal to remove commission caps for both life and non-life insurers. A report from CLSA suggests this to be positive for PB Fintech as it substantially reduces regulatory risk for commission rates. For life insurers, it says that HDFC Life and Max Life have been paying more to their bank partners while in the case of SBI and ICICI Pru Life, the brokerage would like to watch if the parent bank ask for more commissions from their insurance partners. PB Fintech stock was quoting at Rs 425.90, up Rs 25.25, or 6.3% on the BSE.

10:51 (IST) 24 Nov 2022 Market uptrend intact, short-term consolidation likely; Buy these two stocks to pocket gains

On Daily chart, we observe that Nifty has broken out of a downward-sloping trend line that has held down the highs of 2021 and 2022. In the process, the index is now comfortably trading above the 20 and 50-day SMA. While the near-term trend remains up, the fact that the 18327 levels are acting as a resistance could limit the upsides in near term. Nifty could therefore consolidate in a range for the next few sessions before trying to find direction. A move below the 20-day SMA at 18138 would negate our bullish view.

10:34 (IST) 24 Nov 2022 Markets may remain rangebound, volatile till December end

“Overcrowded markets won’t let anyone make big money. Derivatives is a zero sum game & you need someone to go wrong to make money. Retail & FIIs are longs, DIIs are hedging as they were buying on the way down to 15,200 & 16,800. Institutional cash selling has become negligible. Low volatility & sideways scenario lasted for about 2 months in 2021 when directional traders struggled but it was option writers who were merrier. The remaining 5 weeks of 2022 could just turn out to be similar until we see any of the variables changing.” – Rahul Sharma, Head – Research, JM Financial Services

The key technical indicators are positively poised on the daily timeframe chart. Due to monthly expiry, the index may witness high volatility, wherein a stable move above 43,000-level could take it towards 43,500-level.

08:15 (IST) 24 Nov 2022 Avoid aggressive bets as market might act volatile on F&O expiry day

We remain sanguine as, on a technical aspect, Nifty is firmly placed above all the major exponential moving averages on the daily chart and is in a cycle of higher highs – higher lows, construing a positive setup. However, ahead of the monthly expiry, Nifty has seen some tentativeness at higher levels; but we do not construe this as any sign of worry. Traders are just opting to take some money off the table ahead of the expiry event. As far as levels are concerned, 18100-18200 is likely to cushion any fall in the index, followed by the sacrosanct support of the 18000 mark. Whereas on the flip side, the 18400-18450 is likely to remain the sturdy wall for the index in a comparable period. There have been contributions across the board, wherein the significant benefactors that boosted the bullish sentiments were from the PSU Banking space. Looking at the recent developments, it is advisable to avoid aggressive bets as the market might act volatile on the expiry day. Meanwhile, we advocate to keep Identifying apt themes and potential movers within the same that are likely to provide better trading opportunities and stay abreast with global developments.”-Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One

08:10 (IST) 24 Nov 2022 Nifty forms small bearish candle indicating indecisiveness between bulls and bears

“Markets moved in a narrow range with strong bouts of intra-day volatility ahead of the monthly F&O expiry. Traders mostly preferred to stay cautious before the FOMC minutes release and the Fed's comments which would determine the trend in the near term. Global factors like China imposing lockdowns in several of its cities and its impact on the global economy would continue to hurt the market sentiment. Technically, post reversal formation, the Nifty has formed a small bearish candle indicating indecisiveness between the bulls and bears. For the traders, 18200 would be the immediate support level and above the same, the index could retest the level of 18350-18400. On the flip side, dismissal of 18200 could accelerate the selling pressure up to 18100-18070 levels”-Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research ( Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd

08:09 (IST) 24 Nov 2022 Nifty immediate goalpost seen at its all-time-high at 18605

As long as Nifty holds the support level of 18157, the immediate goalpost for the index is seen at its all-time-high at 18605 mark and then aggressive targets at the psychological 19000 mark.”-Prashanth Tapse – Research Analyst, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd
