Indian markets opened on positive note following Asian market peers which were trading mostly green led by China. During the afternoon session markets trimmed some of their gains as European markets struggled to shrug off recession fears but managed to trade in green. Buying in frontline stocks such as Maruti Suzuki, Asian Paints and Bharti Airtel were aiding sentiment, while selling in Power Grid, Titan Co and NTPC kept the gains in the markets in check. Traders were encouraged as Prime Minister Modi said the government expects the Indian economy to grow by 7.5% this year. Additional support came with RBI data showing that the country’s foreign exchange reserves in nominal terms, including valuation effects, rose by $30.3 billion in 2021-22 fiscal against $99.2 billion expansion in FY2020-21.

09:09 (IST) 23 Jun 2022 Buy high-quality stocks on dips
Since the Nifty has clearly broken the lower band of 15800- 16800 in which it was trading for some time, the structure of the market has become weak. Relentless selling by FPIs and expectations of further selling have created a trade set-up where every rally will be sold into. The only sensible investment strategy in this complex and uncertain time is to buy high-quality stocks on dips and wait with patience. Apart from financials which look good, IT gaining from rupee depreciation and select autos gaining from metal price crash are good buys for long-term investment.

09:09 (IST) 23 Jun 2022 Mounting concerns of rising US interest rates, rupee hitting fresh lows, unabated FII selling to keep markets volatile
“Indian equities may move in tandem with early gains in most of the Asian gauges, despite overnight fall in US markets and weak European markets closing. Boosting the sentiment would be a sharp fall in WTI crude oil prices, which eased more than 7% in overnight trades towards $102 a barrel, much below the RBI’s assumption of $105 a barrel for its full-year inflation projection. However, mounting concerns of rising US interest rates, rupee hitting fresh lows and unabated FII selling will continue to keep markets in a volatile mode. Also, the progress of the south-west monsoon in the country has been disappointing so far, which could further weigh on the already bearish sentiment.”

The Indian rupee is likely open higher on Thursday amid strong dollar, recovery in Asian currencies and lower crude oil prices. USDINR is expected to break the hurdle of 78.25 to move towards the level of 78.00, according to ICICIDirect. Investors will closely watch US initial jobless claims data as it is expected to fall from 229,000 to 227,000. The rupee declined by 27 paise to a record low against the US dollar in the previous session due to unabated FII outflows and losses in domestic equities. A stronger greenback overseas also weighed on the rupee sentiment. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened flat at 78.13 against the greenback and it ended the day at a record low of 78.40, down 27 paise over its previous close.

08:12 (IST) 23 Jun 2022 Nifty struggles to sustain the higher ground; tentativeness to persist
“On the technical aspect, the halt in buying interest post an intense day of rally certainly showcased the tentativeness among the market participants at the higher critical level. At the current juncture, the immediate support is likely to be seen around the 15300 level, wherein the placement of the index above the sacrosanct support of the 15180-15200 zone could be seen as the last resort of relief for the bulls. Meanwhile, on the contrary, the critical zone of 15650-15700 withholds the sturdy wall for the index, and till it is not claimed, it would be a challenging period for the bulls of D-street. Hence, looking at recent developments that construe an unclear market trend, participants are advised to avoid any undue risk and stay abreast with the global developments. Also, with most counters trading near the oversold region, we advocate continuing with a stock-centric approach for better trading opportunities.”

08:11 (IST) 23 Jun 2022 Nifty major hurdle at 15723
“Nifty succumbed to bear hammering as most of its gains evaporated and, most importantly, the benchmark ended at its lowest point of the day. Investors traded with caution as they awaited Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to deliver his semiannual monetary policy report to Congress on Wednesday and Thursday. The street suspects that Fed will probably hike rates by another 75 basis points again in July. Technically, for Nifty the major hurdle is seen at 15723 with downside risk seen at 15183. The index can find resistance at 15723 and 16151.”

08:07 (IST) 23 Jun 2022 US Fed to continue hiking rates to flight inflation
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday underscored the Fed’s determination to raise interest rates high enough to slow inflation, a commitment that has fanned concerns that the central bank’s fight against surging prices could tip the economy into recession. Powell said the pace of future rate hikes will depend on whether and how quickly inflation starts to decline, something the Fed will assess on a meeting by meeting basis. Its decision-making will be based on the incoming data and the evolving outlook for the economy, Powell said in prepared testimony to the Senate Banking Committee, which he is addressing as part of the Fed’s semiannual policy report to Congress.
08:06 (IST) 23 Jun 2022 Nifty technical view
A reasonable negative candle was formed as per daily chart, which signal a possibility of bull trap in the market. After a sustainable upside bounce on Tuesday, Nifty showing immediate reaction on the downside in the subsequent session indicate a lack of strength in the market to sustain the upside bounces.
The crucial overhead resistance of 15700-15800 levels as per the concept of change in polarity has weighed high on the market. After hitting the day’s high of 15707 on Tuesday Nifty showing sharp weakness on Wednesday reflects significance of the hurdle. The market showing immediate reversal of upside bounce is not a good sign for the bulls to sustain the highs. Now, one may expect Nifty to slide down to the important support area of 15200 levels in the next few sessions. Immediate resistance is placed at 15560.
