Nifty To Remain in a Range In Absence of Major Triggers

Indian Market Outlook: The benchmark Index Nifty continued to trade in a narrow range following a hurdle of 8750. Yesterday Nifty made a high of 8713 and closed at 8685. Unless market gives a breakout of 8750, it should trade in a range of 200 points between 8750 to 8550. The level of 8750 would be a profit booking area for cash stocks. One should build fresh long position only above 8750 levels. On the other side Small Cap Index is trading above its 3 day high of 6015. Yesterday's close was at 6066, immediate target for Small Cap Index is at 6116. We expect a quiet session in the absence of any major events and data.

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 ULTRACEMCO, POWERGRID, NTPC, INDUSINDBK, GRASIM.

Nifty Futures is expected to open at 8670 as per SGX Nifty at 8:35 am IST, which is 15 points below its previous close of 8685.
