Nifty to Open Flat Post Appointment of the New RBI Governor

Indian Market Outlook: Indian benchmark Nifty had a lackluster movement last week where it moved in a narrow band of 125 points. Bank Nifty is trading at 2016 highs and has closed at 19425 near the psychological high of 19500. The appointment of Dr. Patel as new RBI governor should go well with the market as it signals the continuity of the Tenure's Policy Measures of Dr. Rajan.

State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Travancore and Bhartiya Mahila Bank will be in focus as SBI has approved its merger with these banks.

Top 5 gainers for yesterday were Bank of Baroda, SBI, Hindalco, Aurobindo Pharma and Ambuja Cements.
