Daily Repor 17-Apr-23

Indian market on Thursday, ahead of long weekend & weekly options expiry – IT stocks were under pressure ahead of INFY result and rally in 2nd half in Banking stocks ahead of HDFCBANK result.

Wall Street rallied on Thursday & corrected on Friday, half of previous day rally as US major banks came out with result that beat market expectation.

INFY result disappoints on all front – FY24 guidance – Revenue growth expected to be 4% – 7% and margin range at 20% – 22%.  INFY ADR down over 10% on Thursday & Friday.  Indian market will react today.

HDFCBANK result came below street estimate, capex remains key reason, other financial parameters were positive. 

VIX @ 11.91: expect to move towards 14 level. 

F&O data: FII continue to remain net buyer in index futures – bought 15791 contracts in index futures. Long: Short position now stands at 39.27%:60.73%.  

Approach on Indices: SGX Nifty around 80 – 100 points gap-down, Nifty @ 17474 & Banknifty @ 41079 could act as good entry level.

Market View: we expect profit booking across the market as market in last 2 weeks as rallied more than 5% – 7% on major indices.  Result season begins with negative surprise on IT sector and muted expectation on HDFCBANK.  Time to book profit and reduce exposure.

SGX Nifty @ 17786 down 85 points at 8:10 AM
