10:07 (IST) 8 Sep 2022 Indian economy is expected to grow more than 7% this year

A decade ago, India ranked 11th among the largest economies and UK was 5th. If history has taught us something it’s that, UK has not been able to claim a position for long. Sooner or later, they have been overthrown and sent back to their mainland. India leaped past the UK in the final three months of 2021 to become the fifth-biggest economy. The Indian economy is expected to grow more than 7% this year. A sharp rebound in Indian stocks this quarter has seen their weighting rise to the second spot in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, trailing only China. IMF’s forecast show India overtaking the UK in dollar terms on an annual basis, positioning it right behind US, China, Japan and Germany. Rising and thriving each day.

08:25 (IST) 8 Sep 2022 Rebound in US markets to provide much needed impetus to key domestic indices

The overall strength in our domestic market is providing the cushion at lower levels; whereas the uncertainty in US bourses is not letting us surpass the higher range. In our sense, it’s a matter of time we would see oversold US markets rebound, which will provide the much needed impetus to our key indices. As far as levels are concerned, the sturdy wall remains unchanged at 17700 – 17800; whereas on the flipside, 17600 followed by 17500 are to be treated as key supports.

08:20 (IST) 8 Sep 2022 Nifty technical view

“A long bull candle was formed on the daily chart after opening lower. Technically, this pattern indicates sideways movement in the market around 17750-17400 levels. Yesterday’s upside recovery after a weak opening signal an emergence of buying interest from the lows. This is positive indication for the market ahead. Nifty cant be ruled out of another attempt towards the hurdle of 17800 levels in the coming sessions. Nifty on the weekly chart placed just below the crucial overhead resistance of significant down trend line around 17800 levels. The repeated hitting of the said hurdle was seen in the last few weeks. This indicates strength of underlying Nifty at the highs.”
