Top Stock Recommendations: Osho Krishan of Angel One recommends buying Nazara Technologies, and Varun Beverages today

Stock Market News: During the opening session on Thursday, the domestic benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, saw a surge, bouncing back from a flat performance the day before. The Nifty 50 index reached 24,863.40 points after climbing by 93.20 points, or 0.38%. Similarly, the Sensex gained 301.94 points, or 0.37%, bringing it to 81,207.24 points.

Based on news reports, market analysts are positive about the potential for the Indian markets to hit a new record high in the upcoming week. This positive outlook is driven by the publication of the minutes from the US Federal Reserve, which have heightened anticipations of potential interest rate reductions in September.

The most recent US jobs statistics for the 12 months ending in March 2024 indicates that the number of new jobs created was less than previously anticipated, according to Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services. This important data implies that it clarifies the road toward Fed rate cuts. The Fed becoming dovish and initiating the rate-cutting cycle with a 25 bps rate drop in September that signals further cuts to come is now the most likely scenario. Due to the decreasing amount of leeway for ambiguity, this can maintain market stability.

Nifty 50 Outlook by Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst, Technical & Derivatives, Angel One

Nifty 50 maintains its winning spree, though the small-bodied candle formation over the last three sessions indicates a tentative signal. Meanwhile, the gradual upward movement in the broader market suggests a noteworthy positive shift in sentiment for both traders and investors.

The benchmark index is steadily closing in on the critical resistance of the bearish gap around 24,850-24,950, which warrants close monitoring given the current momentum. Moreover, the support base is gradually strengthening, with 24,650-24,600 poised to act as a cushion against potential setbacks, while the crucial support remains in the pivotal zone of 24,500.

To ensure strong performance, it is advisable to focus on stock-specific opportunities amidst the buoyant undertone. Simultaneously, it is crucial to closely monitor the Bank Nifty index as it is likely to significantly impact market momentum in the comparable period. Additionally, staying attuned to global developments and making informed decisions based on specified levels is essential.
