The Nifty has respected the 15700 level on a closing basis. Despite the crack in the first hours of trade, it has managed to claw back its losses and has closed well above the lows of the day. 15900-16000 continues to remain the next target for the index and as long as 15700 holds, traders have no reason to be concerned. A buy on dips is a prudent strategy to adopt at these levels of the market.

Though the domestic market opened on a negative note due to lack of positive cues, it recovered in the afternoon, led by heavyweights following positive global markets. WPI inflation for May rose to 12.94% reflecting a higher price of fuel and manufactured products along with a lower base. Fed policy meeting to be held on June 15-16 is expected to dominate investor behaviour in the coming days. Though the Fed is expected to keep its rates unchanged, the key focus of the market will be on its comment on inflation.

Domestic equities witnessed U-turn today after witnessing a steep gap-down opening. A sharp recovery in PSU banks, IT, FMCG and Reliance Industries supported market rebound. Indian equities remained buoyant in last couple of weeks aided by withdrawal of business curbs by states and improved prospects of economic recovery. Further, the government’s plan to expedite development programs to push economic activities and pickup in business activities are expected to result in sharp improvement in high-frequency key economic indicators from the current month onwards. Sharp growth in IIP data for April indicates strong 1QFY22 earnings performance but pick-up in consumption is much needed to sustain improvement in coming months.
