Nirmal Bang feels rural sector is good theme for the next 6 months; do not see Nifty crossing 11,200 level
Rahul Arora of Nirmal Bang feels rural market is a very good theme to play for the next 6 months. He said, “I think it may be one of the bigger themes that will play out in the market despite the outperformance of any other theme. The lenders and the rural theme will continue to play out over the next 6 months till the end CY20.”
Regarding stock market, Arora said that it is about 50 percent higher from the lows and within 10 percent of making a new all-time high. “I think this run on the way up has over extended itself. However, Nifty won’t be crossing 11,200 level because it is building in too much of an earnings recovery and also trying to ignore economic aspects. New investors should wait for a bit of a correction. The risk on the long side is very elevated right now and I think potential retail investors could get a better market position to enter later,” added Arora.

Market Watch: Jay Thakkar of Marwadi Shares & Financials
“Among the sectors, IT and pharma these are the two sectors which are really looking good for a short -term. Among the IT Infosys post results provided a very good upside and since then it has been consolidating now taking a good support at its upper end of the gap. I think this consolidation seems to have got over and from here on we can again see one more rally on the upside at least in the short-term so one can buy Infosys targeting around Rs 960-980 with a stop loss of Rs 890.”
“Whereas Nifty IT and Nifty Pharma are looking good, Nifty metal Index is looking a bit weak. I would say it seems to be taking good resistance around its 200 day moving average and it has been forming lower tops and lower bottom on the daily charts and the momentum is also weaker. I think among the metals stocks Hindalco is the one stock which has recently provided a breakdown from its 200 day moving average with an increase in volumes and we are also seeing some good amount of long unwinding out here. I would say one can sell Hindalco targeting around Rs 145 one can sell this with a stop loss of Rs 161.”

On gold financiers
Both Muthoot Finance and Manappuram Finance have done pretty well. I don’t recommend anything because I think valuations are four-five times price to book, so it is a pretty rich valuation. So at these peak prices it is best avoided to add anything more.
On Reliance
If I look at three-five year view for Reliance, you should definitely be a buyer at these prices. A lot of things after the last AGM which the management clarified what they are planning to do, even a few of those projects comes to life, it makes a lot of sense to be invested in Reliance even at these levels. However, in the short-term, some amount of profit taking will happen and you will see some correction happening. But if I would have been three-five year kind of a guy, basically I would stay put and maybe add on every correction in Reliance.
Technical View | The market opened on a tepid note this morning. It could be a sign of mild exhaustion which could be due to profit booking. The support is at 11,050 and till that holds, we are in bull territory. For an impulsive upside to resume, we would need to go past 11,250 which will take us to 11,400-11,500, said Manish Hathiramani, Index Trader and Technical Analyst, Deen Dayal Investments.
Rupee Opens | Indian rupee opened 19 paise lower at 74.94 per dollar against Thursday’s close of 74.75, amid selling seen in the domestic equity market.
