09:11 (IST) 17 Aug 2022 Nifty may rally to 18200
Though Nifty paused yesterday at 17835, we are not convinced that Nifty has topped out.

08:51 (IST) 17 Aug 2022 Remain invested and buy on dips
“Experts disagreed on whether the ongoing rally is a bear market rally or the beginning of yet another bull market. The majority who believed that this is a bear market rally has been decisively proved wrong by the ferocity of the rally which has taken the Nifty to mere 4.3% away from the all-time high. It is important to appreciate the fact that there is global support to this rally with S&P 500 and Nasdaq bouncing back by 18 and 24% from their June lows. Declining US inflation, confidence that the Fed need not have to aggressively raise rates and the increasing probability of a soft landing of the US economy are supporting this rally. In India, steadily declining inflation, strong growth momentum in the economy and FIIs turning consistent buyers are driving the rally. Even though valuations are high it makes sense to remain invested and buy on dips,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
08:27 (IST) 17 Aug 2022 Petrol and diesel price August 17: Fuel cost unchanged; Check prices in Delhi, Mumbai, other cities here
The price of petrol and diesel has been left unchanged for the 84th day by OMCs on August 17.

The cut in VAT is likely to cost Maharashtra’s state exchequer Rs 6,000 crore on an annual basis. For the rest of the country, prices have been steady since May 21 when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a cut in excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre, and Rs 6 per litre on diesel.

08:17 (IST) 17 Aug 2022 Easing inflation encouraging investors

In the Asian market, the Chinese central bank surprised the market by cutting its interest rates after a weak set of economic data. Following that, oil prices slumped on demand worries,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

08:15 (IST) 17 Aug 2022 Resistances seen around 17870 and 18000
“Nifty is tad away from the resistance level of 17875 which is the 78.6 percent retracement of the previous corrective phase. The BankNifty ended with a small Doji candle on the daily chart and around its previous swing high resistance. So although there’s no confirmation of the reversal yet, one should reduce the quantum of long positions and take some money off the table as highly overbought readings around the resistance zone could lead to some profit booking in the near future. The intraday stock specific momentum has been buzzing and until there’s any reversal, traders should look for such stock specific opportunities and trade with proper risk management. The immediate support for Nifty has now shifted higher to 17720 followed by 17600 while resistances are seen around 17870 and 18000,” said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research, 5paisa.com.
