India's wholesale inflation eased from its record high as a fall in prices of manufactured products, fuel and power offset costlier vegetables. Inflation, as measured by the Wholesale Price Index, stood at 13.56% in December against 14.23% in November, the highest reading since 1991.
Nifty rose for the fourth consecutive week rising 2.49% in the longest winning streak since the week ended September 24, 2021. Nifty is now close to 18500-18600 resistance band. Nifty has made a near double top in the 18272-18287 band. A breach of this is necessary for the Nifty to continue its upmove. On falls 18120-18130 band could provide support.
