14:27 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Rupee becomes one of the weakest currencies
“USDINR spot touched an intra-day high 82.34, highest levels since November 7th on the back of suspected Yuan-Rupee carry trade unwind and corporate dollar outflows. USDINR forward premium is trading at the lowest levels since 2011 and low forward premiums are hurting dollar supply. It is making carry trade unviable and also reducing exporter hedging. Indian Rupee has become one of the weakest currencies across a broad basket of currencies on a year to date basis.”

13:26 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Indian markets stand out, valuation expensive, uncertainty to persist; HDFC Securities tells where to invest
In the Emerging Markets basket, India has a weight of around 14.5 to 15%. China is twice the weight and is dealing with geopolitical tensions and lockdowns. Taiwan, which is another economy with a large weight in the basket, is also dealing with geopolitical tensions. In such a situation, India stands out as a preferable investment destination. “External vulnerabilities are there and the last export data was quite scary. However, inflation is now coming off and RBI stabilising the currency has also helped, as volatile currency is always a sign for investors to walk away in the past,” Sharma added.

Nifty: The Nifty may witness a volatile move at higher levels considering aggressive writing at 18800 and 19000 Call strikes for the current weekly settlement. However, on the downside, support is placed between 18450 and 18500.
Bank Nifty: Outperformance in the Bank Nifty is likely to continue as aggressive Put writing was witnessed at ATM and OTM strikes. However, 43500 level remains an immediate hurdle on upsides. We expect PSU banks and midcap banks to outperform large cap banks.

09:06 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Brace for some choppy trading
“Indian equities are likely to decline in early Tuesday trades on the back of overnight slump in US markets and subsequent weakness in Asian indices. Last Friday’s hotter-than-expected US jobs report added to concerns that the Federal Reserve might need to be even more aggressive in its battle against inflation, despite concerns about a looming recession. Also, overnight the US yields rose on concerns that the Fed will continue hiking rates. Hence investors will have to brace for some choppy trading through the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision and the latest consumer price index (CPI) reading – both slated for next Wednesday, December 14th.”-Prashanth Tapse – Research Analyst, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
09:04 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Nifty, Sensex tumble in pre-open

08:59 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Indian market outperformance likely to continue despite elevated valuations; buy in dips
“Two trends stand out in the current economic scenario. The US economy continues to be strong as reflected by the jobs data, labour market conditions and ISM services. But these positive numbers are viewed by the market with concern since this strong scenario might persuade the Fed to continue to be hawkish. The Indian macros indicate steady improvement with buoyant tax collections, impressive credit growth and declining crude. Partly the market resilience in India comes from the retail optimism and DII investment. This is likely to continue despite the elevated valuations. Buy on dips strategy has worked well this year and investors can continue with the strategy.”-VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
08:58 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Rupee may breach 82
“While we had geared ourselves for an upside move yesterday, and even discussed 82, it was towards marking the important challenges. Hence, even though we had positioned ourselves on the right side of the market, the extent of upsides was surprising. We are now all poised to challenge 81.9, and dips are to be expected, but as long as the retracements do not stretch beyond 81.6, a breach of 82 could be expected.”-Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

08:57 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Nifty may see brief spike to 18,840
“There was enough bargain buying interest to keep 18,600 largely intact and attempt multiple upside attempts yesterday, but none of them succeeded in making much headway beyond our turnaround level of 18,715. There is an outside chance of a brief spike to 18,840, but the bearish warning that was sounded last week, is still very much on, requiring a close above 18,840 to shake the bears off. With an H&S pattern maturing in 60m frame, favoured view sees more chances of a slip to either 18500 or stretch all the way to 18,360-18,100, before prospects of 19400 may be re-evaluated again.”-Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
08:46 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Investors wait for RBI MPC meet outcome before making any significant movements
“According to SGX Nifty trend, benchmark indices are most likely to start out negative. Markets generally closed negative on a worldwide level. Investors are waiting for the conclusion of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting before making any significant movements. The conclusion of the conference will be made public on December 7. It is predicted that the Reserve Bank of India MPC would announce a rate rise of 35 basis points (bps). Indian equities managed to stage a comeback in yesterday’s session, helped along by a strong estimate on services activity. On the technical front, immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50 are 18600 and 18800 respectively. Bank Nifty immediate support and resistance are 43000 and 43600 respectively.”-Mohit Nigam, Fund Manager & Head – PMS, Hem Securities
08:29 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Short-term texture of market non-directional
“Markets were extremely range-bound with a negative bias with most of the Asian indices too closing on a sluggish note. Investors are keeping a low profile ahead of RBI’s credit policy meeting this week, while lack of fresh triggers from global markets too have been a dampener. Another factor could be the recent rally was too fast paced and hence nobody wants to risk taking long only bets. Technically, after the early morning selloff the Nifty took support near 18600 and reversed sharply. However, the short-term texture of the market is still non directional. We are of the view that 18600 could act as a sacrosanct support zone for the market. if the index trades above the same it could retest 18800-18850 in the near future. On the flip side, below 18600, the index could slip till 18500-18450.”-Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd

08:21 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Bank Nifty may head towards 43500
“Bank Nifty respected 42,900-mark and resumed its up-move. The index rose to life-time-closing high and outperformed benchmarkNifty on the back of strength in private as well as PSU banks. The key technical indicators are positively poised on weekly, daily as well as hourly timeframe charts. The index has potential to move towards 43,500-level initially and 43,800-mark subsequently. In case of any decline, the index will continue to find support at around 42,900-level. As for the day, support is placed at around 43,088 and then at 42,843 levels, while resistance is observed at 43,475 and then at 43,617 levels.”
08:20 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Nifty may head towards 18900
“Nifty began week on a flat to positive note. The index formed a bullish pattern-Hammer on the daily chart, wherein lower shadow was twice the size of the real body. The key technical indicators witnessed positive cross-over after testing the lower levels on the hourly timeframe chart. This could lead the index towards 18,900-level initially and 19,000-mark subsequently. In case the index violates 18,600-level, probable up-move will be negated. On the lower side, the index will find support at around 18,400-level. As for the day, support is placed at around 18,619 and then at 18,536 levels, while resistance is observed at 18,756 and then at 18,811 levels.”-Reliance Securities
08:19 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Market likely to remain upbeat in near term
“The strategy of ‘buy on the decline’ and ‘sell on rise’ fits perfectly in the current market scenario. As far as levels are concerned, the 18600-18500 is likely to act as the sacrosanct support zone, and on the higher end, the immediate hurdle could be seen around 18800-18850, followed by the psychological mark of 19000. Going forward, our market is likely to remain upbeat in the near term, wherein any minor dip could be seen as an opportunity for the bulls to add long bets. We may expect gradual moves in key indices, but individual pockets are performing well. Hence, it’s advisable to keep focusing on such potential movers, which are likely to provide better trading opportunities.”- Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One

07:58 (IST) 6 Dec 2022 Bank Nifty index remains in buy mode as long as it holds 42,800 support
“The bulls defended the Bank Nifty from the lower end and the index ended on a high note ahead of the key events. The index remains in buy mode as long as it holds the support of 42,800 on the downside. The higher-end resistance is visible at 43,500 where a significant amount of call writing has been observed. The index is likely to consolidate in a broad range between 42,500-43,500 and a break on either side will lead to trending moves.”-Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

The lackluster sentiment is likely to continue over the short term. On the lower end, 17,550-18,500 is going to act as a very crucial support; while a rising price finds resistance at 18,800.”-Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
