On a weekly basis, profit booking was seen in the market last week after six consecutive weeks. Along with the Nifty, the Bank Nifty, Midcap and Smallcap indices have also seen strong selling pressure during the first half of the week.
Depreciation of the rupee versus the dollar, higher crude prices and worries over a trade war between the United States and China were the main reason for the weekly fall. At the end of last week, the Nifty closed 91.4 points lower against its previous week's close.
This week has only four trading days. We expect the Nifty to consolidate between last week’s high-low levels, with quality stocks rallying. There are many important events this week. Consumer Price Inflation (August) and Index of Industrial Productivity (July) will be declared on September 12. Wholesale Price Inflation (July) will be declared on September 14.
On September 12, Apple will unveil its new iPhones. From an earnings point of view, a bunch of companies are going to announce their results like Reliance Home Finance, Reliance Capital, Power Finance Corporation, Tourism Finance Corporation of India and Rural Electrification Corporation.
Our past recommendations like Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Ajanta Pharma, L&T Technology Services, Larsen & Toubro Infotech, Suven Life Sciences, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, ITC, GMR Infrastructure, Mahindra & Mahindra and Adani Green Energy have given fantastic returns in the very short term.
