Mr. Aamar Deo Singh - Head Advisory, Angel Broking Ltd

Markets continued their winning run today too, with the benchmark index Nifty 50, ending the week @ 11,914, up 4.36% Week on Week. Advances outnumbered declines marginally, with the Banking, IT & Infra sectors closing in the green, post the RBI Monetary Policy announcement, wherein rates were kept unchanged but talks of an accommodative stance, buoyed market sentiments. Amongst the Top 3 Nifty gainers were Wipro, Icici Bank and Axis Bank, whereas the Top 3 Nifty Losers were Grasim, Zee and Hindalco. This was a very positive week for Nifty, as taking out the earlier key resistance of 11,650, led to short-covering and renewed buying interest. Going Forward, Nifty has crucial support zone around 11600-11650 whereas resistance is seen around 12100 - 12200 zone.
