Market Outlook and Nifty on Monday

Indian Share Market Review | Market closed today : The BSE Sensex closed at 17,683.73 up 337 points higher on Friday tracking a rally in global shares, led by gains in blue-chip shares such as Reliance Industries(RELI.NS) that gained after CLSA raised its target price.

Banks shares also gained on hopes the Reseerve Bank of India (RBI) may cut rates on September 17 if the government announces reform measures next week.

The BSE index rose 1.95 percent. The 50-share NSE index ended up 1.98 percent.

Indian stocks opened gap-up tracking the global rally and the momentum stayed through the session.

High beta stocks, such as metals and realty, benefitted the most from today's rally. Commodity stocks gained as the liquidity push is expected to drive prices up. Capital goods stocks also saw strong buying interest and outperformed all other sectoral indices on the BSE.

Realty major DLF was the top Nifty gainer, rising 5.6 per cent. Steel maker Tata Steel advanced 5.6 per cent. Private lender ICICI Bank, commercial vehicles manufacturer Tata Motors, cement and infra major Jaiprakash Associates, and India's biggest engineering and construction firm L&T closed with 4-5 per cent gains.

Oil refiner BPCL was the only stock to close lower on the Nifty-50. Shares in oil marketing firms witnessed selling pressure after Petroleum Minister S. Jaipal Reddy said there was no immediate plan to increase fuel prices. The announcement left investors disappointed, who were expecting a price hike as early as today. BPCL declined 0.63 per cent.

The market breadth was strong with 75 per cent stocks rising on the broader BSE 500 index.

Analysts were mixed in their outlook, some expecting markets to go up, while others suggesting profit booking.

"Markets are likely to go up from here on the back of liquidity... There is no improvement in fundamentals, but liquidity can do crazy things," Devang Mehta, vice president (equity sales) Anand Rathi told NDTV Profit.
