13:53 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 UK inflation, weak European markets, recession fears drag Sensex, Nifty
UK inflation at a 40 year high has led to weak European markets and fears of a global recession have thereby increased with possibly more rate hikes by the central banks of the world. Nifty has strong support at 15200. Daily close below this level could mean 14980 & even 14700 possible. Strong resistance will be at 15670. AR Ramachandran, Co-founder & Trainer, Tips2Trades

13:44 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 India’s life insurance market well-positioned to capitalize on growth potential
LIC stock price has seen an extremely disappointing trend post listing falling almost 30% from its IPO price. The current correction has priced in the concerns with the company like low VNB margins, losing market share to private players, high reliance on agency channels, etc. Further, the valuation of 0.8 Price to Embedded Value discounts any volatility or reduction in embedded value due to stock market correction. We believe India’s highly underserved life insurance market is still in its infancy and is well-positioned to capitalize on the enormous growth potential. LIC has several competitive advantages, including a strong brand value, a massive network of agents, and an enviable distribution network. In short, these levels are the best to accumulate this stock for the long term. Punit Patni, Equity Research Analyst, Swastika Investmart
13:28 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Remain cautious: Near-term risks skewed to downside, say BofA
We are cautious on markets despite the recent market correction (Fed hikes: Implications for India 14 February 2022). In addition to globally tightening monetary conditions and a slowing economic outlook, including fears of a recession in the US, we see other risks: (1) likely earnings cut for Nifty in 2Q/3Q FY23 as effects of cheaper inventory buffers fade; (2) headwinds from higher crude likely sustaining; (3) Nifty valuation, though corrected, still appears vulnerable close to its 10-yr average. We maintain a cautious stance with defensive sectoral skew & a revised year-end Nifty target of 14.5k. Potential clarity on macro & monetary policy outlook in the US/India could lead markets to bottom by Aug/Sept 2022.

09:11 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Nifty’s make-or break support for the day at 15453
“Even as US markets ended firm in overnight trades, weakness in most of the Asian indices could weigh on domestic benchmarks in early trades. On the other hand, Nifty’s technical charts suggest ‘Bullish Morning Star Candlestick Pattern’. Nifty’s make-or break support for the day is seen at 15453 and then good support at the recent low of 15181 mark. We suspect Bank Nifty too is aiming for a significant rebound with the biggest support seen at 32155 mark. Upside, however, may be capped on reports of fears that the global economy will slow dramatically amidst an aggressive tightening from major central banks across the globe to rein in record inflation that has rattled the sentiment.”

09:10 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Bank Nifty support at 32700, resistance at 33700
“Benchmark Indices are expected to open on negative note as suggested by trends on SGX Nifty. US stock markets ended 2% higher on Tuesday. Asian markets are trading on a mix note as investors are reacting to the bounce in the US market. Oil prices skidded in early trade on Wednesday amid a push by US President Joe Biden to bring down soaring fuel costs, including pressure on major US firms to help ease the pain for drivers during the country’s peak summer demand. On the technical front 15400 and 15800 are immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50. For Bank Nifty 32700 and 33700 are immediate support and resistance respectively.”

09:08 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Buy high-quality names in small quantities, on dips
“Pull back rallies can be sharp and it was sharp yesterday. The important question is: will this continue? There is no economic news, except the softness in crude, to sustain the rally. There is no reason for FIIs to change their selling strategy since the dollar continues to be strong and US bond yields are attractive and expected to rise further. The large-caps which bounced back sharply yesterday are fundamentally strong stocks. Therefore, the best investment strategy now should be to buy these high-quality names in small quantities, on dips.”

08:20 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Nifty has formed a promising bullish candle which supports a further uptrend from current levels
“With no negative clues in the market, benchmark indices gained for the second straight day on Tuesday. Metal, state-owned banks and technology stocks witnessed bargain hunting after suffering heavy losses last week on fears that aggressive rate hikes. On daily charts, the Nifty has formed a promising bullish candle which supports a further uptrend from the current levels. However, the medium-term trend is still on the weak side. For the traders, the support has shifted to 15500 from 15250 on the Nifty (and from 51,300 to 52000 on BSE). As long as, the Nifty is trading above 15500. (BSE below 52000) the chances of hitting 15750 (BSE 52900) would turn bright. Further upside may also continue, which could lift the Nifty up to 15850 (BSE to 53200 level).”

08:18 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Nifty technical view
“A long bull candle was formed on the daily chart and the Nifty seems to have confirmed a short term bottom reversal at the swing low of 15183 levels. The formation couple of doji and high wave pattern at the lows of the last two sessions have finally resulted in a decisive reversal on Tuesday. This is positive indication. Nifty is currently facing a crucial overhead resistance around 15700-15800 levels (previous swing lows, as per the concept of change in polarity). Considering the significance of this value area (evident of long bear candle formation during recent downside breakout), there is a possibility of weakness emerging from the hurdle. However, any consolidation or minor weakness in the next few sessions at the resistance could hint possibility of sharp upside breakout of 15800 levels.”

08:15 (IST) 22 Jun 2022 Decisive move above 15,700 can further fuel rebound to 16,000 zone
“Markets extended rebound for the second consecutive session and gained nearly 2%, tracking firm global cues. After the upbeat start, the benchmark moved from strength to strength for most of the day however marginal selling in the last hour trimmed some gains. Consequently, the Nifty ended with gains of 1.9% at 15,638 levels. This move has certainly eased some pressure but sustainability is the key. Participants are keenly eyeing the US Fed chair’s speech for cues and the progress of the monsoon is also on the radar. A decisive move above 15,700 in Nifty can further fuel the rebound to the 16,000 zone else the decline would resume. Stocks, on the other hand, are offering opportunities on both sides so traders should plan accordingly.”
