Markets Ahead
Continuing Uncertainty!
Yesterday, India’s September inflation data was reported at 7.41% against 7.00% in August. These numbers will force RBI to hike interest rates more aggressively.
Nifty was moving down till 12:00 PM, but from there it showed a change of trend. Even though it was volatile, it started creating higher highs and higher lows. Bank Nifty also followed a similar pattern after hitting 38,500.
Even if FinNifty recovers in the coming days, it is expected to face huge resistance above 17,600 levels.
Results from TCS were good, but Wipro spoiled the mood. Infosys will post a Q2 results song with share buyback decisions. (Update: Infosys posted better than estimated Q2 earnings. Also approved share buyback for Rs 9300 crores at Rs 1850/ share).
Reliance is saving Nifty from huge falls from yesterday, and the strength is because of some good news from Jio and the stock's technical support around 2360.
Germany also posted higher inflation data. But it is clear that world markets are waiting for U.S CPI data.
U.S CPI data is expected today, and U.S markets may react to it only after one day.
