The BSE benchmark Sensex today managed to hit a fresh new high as it crossed the 70,000 mark for the first time. The surge in the 30-pack index was led mainly by banking stocks. BSE Sensex ended the day with the gain of 102 points to 69,928. Meanwhile, Nifty50 gained 27.7 points to 20,997 on December 11, 2023.
From the pack of Sensex, shares of UltraTech Cement, Nestle, Power Grid Corp, IndusInd Bank, and NTPC emerged as the top gainers. Shares of Axis Bank and M&M turned out to be laggards.
"Global and domestic cues favour continuation of the ongoing rally in the market despite high valuations. FIIs turning buyers, strong DII inflows, exuberant retail investors and a thriving IPO market supported by strong economic fundamentals can sustain the rally in the short run ignoring the high valuations. The overarching message from the RBI on Wednesday was that 7% GDP growth for FY 24 is a conservative estimate. This is an indication of the growth momentum in the economy," said Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
Indian benchmark indices traded almost flat in the afternoon trade on Monday. BSE Sensex was up 0.07% at 69,874.42 points at 1:14 pm IST, while Nifty 50 was almost flat at 20,977.75. The top gainers on Nifty 50 were Adani Enterprises (up 2.16%), UPL (1.91%), and ONGC (up 1.86%).
Indian market opened in green on Monday with Sensex and Nifty 50 extending their gaining spree and hitting new life-time high. The 30-scrip benchmark crossed its 70,000 mark, and touched a new historic high of 70,048.9. While the 50-scrip benchmark touched a new record high of 21,019.80 in the early trade. Midcaps and smallcaps rallied as well with BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap rising by 111 points and 260 points respectively.
Banking, capital goods, oil & gas and IT stocks were top gainers in the opening bell, while financial stocks saw huge selling pressure.
The market consensus looks positive for the day!
Both global and domestic shares have continued their winning streak in December so far despite higher valuations. Indian equities have a boost from RBI's hike in GDP growth estimates to 7% for FY24, while maintaining status quo in-line with estimates.
Currently, markets have marked the early commencement of Santa Rally and as per analyst the recent FOMO-driven activity in the Nifty is poised to sustain positive momentum on Dalal Street, fueled by factors such as BJP's success, a decline in WTI Oil prices, and optimism about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.

Rupee Price Outlook
Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities" The USD/INR 27th December futures contract has been consolidating within a narrow range for an extended period. Upon analyzing the weekly technical chart, it is evident that the pair is currently trading above its moving average trend-line support level of 83.22, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 60 level. Despite the bullish indicators, there are signs of caution in the technical setup. The MACD is displaying a negative divergence, suggesting a potential weakening of the current trend. The pair seems to be stuck within a range, reflecting indecision in the market. According to the weekly technical chart, the pair has a support zone between 83.22 and 82.92, while resistance is established at 83.60-83.85. Given the prevailing tight range, it is anticipated that the pair may continue to trade within the confines of 83.15-83.70 during today's session.

Crude Oil Prices Outlook
Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities: Crude oil exhibited notable volatility, rebounding from a six-month low but succumbed to a seventh consecutive weekly decline in the international markets. On Friday, crude oil prices saw a recovery from their six-month lows, attributed to short coverings and bargain buying at lower levels. The resilience of crude oil prices was further buoyed by better-than-expected U.S. non-farm payroll data for November. However, the pessimistic growth projection for China in the 2024-2025 period and a 9% decline in Chinese imports during November may exert continued pressure on global oil prices. Additionally, the recovery of the dollar index from its lows poses a potential constraint on crude oil gains. Anticipating ongoing volatility, we project crude oil prices to fluctuate in today's session. Support for crude oil stands at .70–70.10, with resistance at .10-72.80 for the current session. In INR terms, crude oil finds support at Rs 5,880-5,810, while resistance is expected at Rs 6,090-6,150.”

Santa Rally
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities:
In Friday's trading, the Nifty displayed a significant surge in bullish momentum, marking the early commencement of the "Santa rally" as it breached the unprecedented 21,000 level, reaching a historic high at 21,006. Despite market fluctuations, the Nifty remains the standout bullish performer. Analysis suggests that the recent FOMO-driven activity in the Nifty is poised to sustain positive momentum on Dalal Street, fueled by factors such as BJP's success, a decline in WTI Oil prices, and optimism about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. All eyes are on the upcoming US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for November. Nifty bulls are anticipated to explore new territories, and the recommended trades include buying Nifty in the 20850-20900 zone and Bank Nifty at the current market price, along with bullish perspectives on specific stocks like COFORGE, POLYCAB, LTTS, SBI, TATA CONSUMER, and PNB. The top stock to consider is POLYCAB, with a buy at CMP 5447, stop at 5327, and targets at 5507/5615, with aggressive targets at 5751, based on its momentum play in the inter-week strategy.
