"Banking stocks are displaying a positive change in trend in expectation of a favourable judgment on interest waiver, ending the conflicting saga of moratorium which has heavily impacted the performance of the finance sector,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services told Moneycontrol.

“A supportive judgment from the Supreme Court and continuity of the good Q2 result will help India to add more traction," he said.

The court has adjourned to November 2 the hearing on a batch of petitions seeking interest waiver during the loan moratorium period.

A volume spike of more than 100 percent was seen in stocks like ONGC, SBI Life and NTPC.

Info Edge, JK Cement and MindTree were among more than 100 BSE stocks to hit their fresh 52-week high.

Technical View

The Nifty formed a bullish candle on the daily chart. The index has given its highest daily close in the last 148 trading sessions and formed an outside bar formation, which indicates that the bulls are empowering the move.

“Now it has to continue to hold above 11,900 zones to witness an upmove towards 12,100 then 12,200 zones while on the downside, major support exists in 11,800-11,750 zones,” Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited said.

Similar to 2020, D-Street is at record high ahead of Budget 2021; will history repeat itself?

  Experts are of the view that a repeat of 2020 or what happened in March might not be possible but some consolidation cannot be ruled out. Back in March when everyone wanted to write-off 2020 from their books, hope and liquidity supported markets and investor sentiment. Nobody thought that after touching a 3-year low in March 2020, benchmark indices would give double-digit returns by the end of the year. The S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 rallied by about 15 percent in 2020 and the big outperformance came from the small and midcap stocks. The rally is still continuing in 2021. The S&P BSE Sensex, which climbed Mount 49K, is up over 3 percent while the Nifty50 is up over 4 percent so far in January. Sensex scaling the 49,000-mark and Nifty50 touching 14,500 levels ahead of the Budget 2021 could make anyone cautious about the strength of the rally. Back in January 2020, both Sensex and Nifty touched fresh highs ahead of Budget, and then the market fell like a pack of cards. The ...
