Where is Nifty headed?
Nifty has reclaimed the 18,100 zones after seven months and is gradually inching toward record high. It might take a breather around 18,350 next, but eventually progress towards the 18,700 level to mark a new record high. In case of any dip, 17,700-17,900 zone would provide the cushion. Importantly, we expect the banking index to resume the uptrend and fuel the market momentum from hereon. However, any sharp decline on the global front, especially in the US, could delay a new high, but the tone is likely to remain positive.
