Gold scaled a record high moving further above $2,100 in a rally sparked by growing bets for a U.S. interest rate cut in June and on safe-haven demand due to the conflict in the Middle East. A wider robust fundamental backdrop added support, including strong physical demand in Asia and central bank purchases. Dollar index and US 10 Yields have been very resilient during this volatility in commodities market, hovering around the 104 and 3.2% mark. The Fed chair Powell’s two day congressional testimony will be closely watched for more clarity on US interest rate path. Bets for a rate cut in June Fed meeting has increased from 40% to ~55% in a month. Gold which is looked as a store of value during times of political and financial uncertainty, has climbed by over $300 since the Israel-Hamas war. However, updates regarding cease fire and an ease off in the war will be important to keep an eye on. US Services PMI and factors data were reported lower than expectations in the previous session. After series of weaker economic data last week focus now shifts to US labour market data scheduled this week, which if reported lower than expectations it could further increase gains for bullions.

A significant recent development is the liquidity in the banking system moving from deficit to surplus. This is positive for banks, particularly those which are facing constraints in raising deposits to match credit growth. The impact on the market would be the outperformance of Bank Nifty over Nifty.Another trend which has started is the underperformance of the small cap index. This trend also is likely to continue since small cap valuations continue to be excessive. Nifty is likely to consolidate at around the present levels. Dips will be bought since institutional buying has been strong. Sentiments are a bit weak in the NBFC space due to RBI’s restrictive actions against some NBFCs.

In today’s trading landscape, the Nifty, showing a slight dip to 22410, retains a positive outlook buoyed by substantial buying from FIIs and DIIs, hinting at a continued bullish grip despite potential short-term hesitations. The technical analysis suggests a supportive intraday range between 22250-22500, with a bias leaning positively, backed by options data indicating a broader 21500-23000 trading range. Key corporate moves, including Tata Power Solar’s financing partnership and Tata Motors’ demerger, alongside strategic trading recommendations for Nifty and Bank Nifty, spotlight a market ripe for selective buying, with BANK OF BARODA emerging as a compelling pick amidst a cautiously optimistic market awaiting Federal Reserve cues.
