10:29 (IST) 30 Nov 2022 Crude could trade at 6720 levels

“Crude prices on Tuesday recovered from their lows, as both the benchmark indices concluded on a higher note. However, Brent ended a little unchanged, whereas, NYMEX ended with gains of over a percent. Gains were supported by declining US crude inventories, although the upside was constrained by worries that OPEC+ would maintain its current output policy at its upcoming meeting. We expect crude to trade higher towards 6590 levels, a break of which could prompt the price to move higher to 6720 levels.”

10:08 (IST) 30 Nov 2022 Broader markets underperforming large caps

“Generally, when benchmark index makes a new high, we get to see flamboyant moves in most of the heavyweight as well as mid and small cap counters but such convincing moves are clearly missing. Hence, in our sense, if broader market has to shine, we must surpass 18700 with some authority and ideally the close has to be at the highest point of the session; which is an indication of a strong buying interest.

Hence, for the coming session, it’s important to keep a close tab on this scenario. As far as levels are concerned, 18700 – 18750 are to be seen as immediate junctions; whereas on the flipside, 18500 followed by 18400 becomes a strong demand zone. 

Traders are advised to continue with an optimistic approach and should look to identify potential themes which are likely to provide better trading opportunities.”

09:37 (IST) 30 Nov 2022 Nifty to hit 19000

“The pull back yesterday in the second half may have helped shake off the weakness that has crept in after prolonged upsides in the last few days which had begun to show as negative divergences, as discussed yesterday. This allows Nifty to continue on the 18,800-19,000 trajectory, without much of a drama. This also encourages us to keep the downside marker in the 18,500 vicinity for the opening moves, and move it higher as the day progresses.”

09:16 (IST) 30 Nov 2022 Rally cannot continue unabated

“An important feature of the ongoing rally which has taken the Sensex and Nifty to record highs is that this is a mature rally led by high quality stocks in performing sectors. There is no celebration in the market because this rally has largely bypassed the broad market. While the Nifty is up 7.2 % YTD, the Nifty Small cap Index is down by around 12% YTD. So, the vast majority of retail investors whose portfolios are predominantly small cap oriented, have not benefited from this rally.

This experience also underlines the importance of investing in quality stocks. Since the valuations are elevated from a near-term perspective, there is no scope for the rally to continue unabated. Profit booking and DII selling at higher levels can trigger corrections.”
