“In the near term, we expect the market to take cues from its global peers and macro data to be released during the week. In addition, investors would watch for India’s GDP number, which will be released on Wednesday,” Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
Nifty is showing strength and is inching up gradually toward its life-high levels, he added.
“The domestic market continued its rally as recent Q4 results indicated improvement in demand. Further, expectations of a normal monsoon and a drop in international commodity prices support a rise in the margin profile. The underlying trend is strong, supported by strong liquidity, the negative slope of the interest yield, and the forecast of strong QoQ growth in Q4 FY23 GDP vs. 4.4% in Q3,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
