NEW DELHI – The Nifty Bank index is expected to move with a positive momentum next week and chart fresh records after hitting a lifetime high this week, analysts said. Bank stocks are likely to benefit from the view of continued political and policy stability, in line with broader markets, after the ruling National Democratic Alliance won the state elections in Bihar in a romp Friday.

"With the retail inflation easing and the corporate earnings season concluding on a positive note, the backdrop remains supportive for Indian equities," Siddhartha Khemka, head of research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd., said in a note. "We expect markets to stay firm, with a potential India–US trade deal announcement offering scope for a sharper up-move." Data this week showed India's CPI inflation fell to a record low of 0.25% in October. 

The Nifty Bank index rose 1.1% this week and closed at 58517.55 points on Friday, with its constituents ending on a mixed note. The index hit a record high of 58615.95 points Thursday, eclipsing the prior record by about 50 points. The positive sentiment is likely to continue for the Nifty Bank index above its 20-day simple moving average of 58000 points, Kotak Securities said in a note.

IndusInd Bank was the biggest gainer, rising 6.4% this week after reports said the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai police had given a clean chit to former bank executives in their investigation of fraud in the private-sector lender. Index heavyweights such as State Bank of India and ICICI Bank also saw above average gains this week, though some banks faced a profit booking spree from investors after the recent rise. AU Small Finance Bank fell 2.0% this week after gaining 3.5% a week ago.

"Bank Nifty continues to consolidate in the range of 57200-58600 points for the fourth week in a row and is currently placed around the upper band of the range," Bajaj Broking said in a note Friday. "Going ahead we expect the index to break above the upper band of the consolidation range and head towards 59,200 levels in the coming sessions."
