Equity Alert: Domestic indices seen tad higher at open; Titan Co in focus
MUMBAI--0810 IST--Indian equity indices are expected to open slightly higher on Tuesday amid mixed global cues and a lack of domestic triggers. Analysts do not expect traders to place large bets ahead of the June-quarter earnings season beginning Thursday. However, sectoral rotation of capital would continue in the coming days, they said. While some technical analysts expect traders to book profits, given the overbought conditions, others expect traders to stay put. Even then, the index is expected to remain within a broad range.
Gift Nifty indicates another round of gap-up opening for the domestic indices, Vipin Kumaar, assistant vice president – Globe Capital Market, said. The Nifty 50 is seen moving gradually towards 24500-24600 points. A close above 24600 points holds the key to a sustainable rise in the index, he added. "Hence, we reiterate our buy-on-dips trading approach as long as the index remains above the 24,250 spot level on a closing basis," he said.
At 0730 IST, the July contract of GIFT Nifty was at 24563, down 25 points or 0.1% from its previous close. On Monday, the benchmark Nifty 50 index closed higher by 159.50 points or 0.7% at 24430.35.
Shares of Titan Co. will be in focus after the company announced provisional numbers for the June quarter. The company recorded a 41% on-year growth in its consumer business revenue during the quarter. The fashion accessories company's jewellery business in India also recorded 39% on year revenue growth in Apr-Jun.
There is some improvement in the outlook for the Indian market on the back of inflows from foreign investors. FPIs turned net buyers in the last two sessions and have net bought Indian stocks worth around INR 16 billion since Friday. While this cannot indicate that foreign investors have turned bullish on India, it can be seen as an improvement. Domestic investors net bought shares worth INR 37.91 billion on Monday.
