S&P Dow Jones Indices said it would remove the stock from the Dow Jones Sustainability indices due to allegations of stock manipulation and accounting fraud at Adani Group firms.

Markets Ahead

It was a day of relief!

The market saw good buying today, led by HDFC Bank and HDFC. I really don’t expect a fall below 17,300 in the coming week. We can mark the 17,330-18260 zone as the max range for next week.

This analysis is based on the current market condition. There is a higher possibility for a breakout in Bank Nifty.

Considering the market conditions, we will see a lot of actions, majorly in the heavyweights. Because the market has removed a large number of sellers during this fall and institutions will be making changes to their positions and holdings based on the budget also.

We have an RBI interest rate decision on Wednesday at 10 AM.

See you all!
