16:12 (IST) 30 Dec 2022 2023 outlook

“2022 was a year of polarisation – be it geographically for India standing tall, or equities. 2023 would be a year to watch of for 4 Cs – CPI globally – are we seeing a trend reversal or just a lull before the storm, China – will the dominance return and how soon , and Currency – will USD continue its to display its indomitable spirit. An overlay of these factors, coupled with geopolitical events could well mean possibility of convergence (4th C) in returns in equities and fixed income as an asset class. Central banks’ actions to hike rates may see a plateau in 2023, but maybe too soon to pivot towards rate cuts.”

15:47 (IST) 30 Dec 2022 Bank Nifty undertone bullish

“The Bank Nifty index witnessed selling pressure at higher levels and failed to surpass the level of 43,500 on a closing basis. The index undertone remains bullish and one should keep a buy-on-dip approach with immediate support visible at the 42,500 level. The momentum indicators are in the strong buy zone which confirms the strength of the index.”

09:27 (IST) 30 Dec 2022 Currency outlook

“The 82.84/88 region has continued to be a supply zone, but downside momentum has failed to kick in. This is to be expected, as the expectation is only towards a consolidation with a negative bias rather than a collapse. The 83.25 view appears doubtful now, but we would consider it once above 82.88, and until then, expect slippages to 82.75-82.59.”

“In view of a sharp rally in the overnight US markets, local benchmark indices are expected to commence on a firm note on the last trading day of 2022. Amidst intra-day volatility, markets may see select bouts of rally on hopes the lifting of restrictions in China could revive demand going ahead, although concerns over rising interest rates and recession fears continue to weigh on investors' minds.

08:52 (IST) 30 Dec 2022 Nifty up by 4.8% this year

“The most significant feature of 2022 is the outperformance of the Indian market. In a year in which S&P 500 is down by 20% and most markets are down between 10 to 20 %, Nifty is up by 4.8%. This outperformance is the result of mainly two factors: One, India’s superior economic growth; two, domestic investors support the market by buying every dip caused by FII selling. These two factors are expected to continue in 2023 too. Dollar index dipping below 104 is a positive for the market. This trend is likely to sustain forcing FIIs to turn buyers in India in 2023.”

– Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services

07:52 (IST) 30 Dec 2022 Technical View

“A long positive candle was formed on the daily chart, which confirm the important bottom reversal pattern that was formed few sessions back at 17774 levels. Presently, Nifty is placed at the edge of upside breakout of the crucial hurdle at 18200 levels.

Hence, a sustainable move above 18200 levels could be considered as a false downside breakout of the support recently and such pattern is likely to have a positive impact on the market ahead. So, a decisive move above the said hurdle could pull Nifty towards upside target of 18500 levels in the near term. Immediate support is placed at 18080.”
