Weekly Market Outlook
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, "Elevated crude oil prices and concerns about inflation initially cast a shadow over the market. However, this negative sentiment was offset by robust domestic industrial and manufacturing production data, as well as a decline in inflation, which propelled the market to new highs. The market also received support from a set of positive global cues.

Some of the positive global cues include China's recovery from deflation, cooling core inflation in the US, which supports the idea of a rate pause and hints from the ECB about a potential pause in rates due to receding inflation. However, mid and small-cap indices faced pressure as profit booking set in, driven by overvaluation concerns and after reaching all-time highs. Investors are now closely focused on upcoming data releases and central bank meetings scheduled for the next week, including decisions from the U.S. Fed Reserve, BoE, and BoJ. "
Nifty Outlook
Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities believes the Nifty continued to exhibit strength as the index reached new highs. Strong Put writing at 20,100 has further bolstered positive sentiment in the market. The trend is expected to remain positive as long as the Nifty remains above the 20,000 mark. In the short term, there is potential for the Nifty to move towards the 20,480-20,500 range on the upside.
Bank Nifty Outlook
The sentiment remains positive as the Bank Nifty approaches its all-time high. The strong presence of Put writers at 46,000 has supported the index to stay in positive territory. The trend is anticipated to stay bullish as long as the Bank Nifty remains above the 46,000 mark. In the short term, there is potential for the Bank Nifty to reach levels around 46,700 and 47,000 on the upside, said Rupak De.
