Today,we expect a flat to cautious start and yet another low volume day. Non-index counters may continue to hog the limelight but don’t get carried away by the momentum in these shares. The Nifty will find it tough to crack 5200. Support is likely to kick in at around 5100. In case of a fresh bout of buying in the near term, the Nifty could reach 5350. It hit an intra-day high of 5225 yesterday.
The year 2009 may be reaching its end but the market melody, which has been music to the bulls’ ears, doesn’t seem to be stopping. Most global equity benchmarks have in recent days either crossed or are on the verge of surpassing the annual peaks. For India, the Nifty has already made a new high for 2009, while the Sensex is within striking distance of doing so. The BSE benchmark may just achieve the goal with two trading sessions still to go, and momentum being positive. However, global cues are pretty tepid. Tomorrow we will have the last F&O expiry of 2009. So, some more volatility is a given.
