OUTLOOK
Today morning, Asian markets are trading with gains of
0.4%-0.8% and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 20 points higher start for our
market.
In yesterday's report we had said that "Upon
crossover of 11390, the top made last week, 11550 would be the next target to
eye". Nifty, after touching a high of 11428, slipped to end at 11387, but
is set to open higher today.
11428, the top made yesterday, is the immediate hurdle,
above which, 11550 would be the next target to eye.
11235, the bottom made last week, continues to be
important immediate support.
M & M and PNB will report their quarterly earnings today.
