Dharmesh Shah recommends these two stocks to buy tomorrow

The 30-share BSE Sensex ended higher by 260.30 points or 0.36% at 72,664.47 level while the Nifty 50 closed at 22,055.20 level, up 97.70 points or 0.44%. India VIX was at 18.60, up 2.20% for the day.

Three favourable triggers were the weak WTI oil price at $79 per barrel, stable global signals, and investor bets that were reinforced in anticipation of the Federal Reserve’s September interest rate cuts.

This coming week’s market outlook will be shaped by key domestic and international economic data, as well as data from India’s WPI manufacturing and inflation index, the US PPI, Core CPI, Initial Jobless Claims, Core Retail Sales, Japan’s GDP, India’s Q4 corporate results, and a speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Market Outlook by Dharmesh Shah, Vice President, ICICI Securities

• Going ahead, we expect the index to consolidate in the broader range of 21,700–22,400 amid elevated volatility. The recent correction has hauled Nifty 50 to the lower band of the five-month rising channel. The key point to highlight is that, since the start of CY24, intermediate corrections have been arrested within 4.5%, and subsequently, Nifty 50 has recorded a new high. In the current scenario, a 4.5% correction will mature around 21,700, which also coincides with 100 days of EMA. Thus, we advise traders to refrain from creating aggressive short positions near the key support zone amid an oversold condition as the daily stochastic oscillator is hovering at 12. Thus, the ongoing corrective decline should be capitalised to accumulate quality stocks, as strong support is placed at 21,700.

• Key observations during election phases:

• A) Over the past four elections, the Nifty 50 has undergone an average 6% correction during polling phases. In the current context, the index has corrected ~4% from life highs and remains in sync with empirical evidence.

• B) The India VIX has a tendency to rise ahead of the election and eventually fizzle out post-election outcomes as anxiety around the event settles down. During May 2019, a rise in VIX resulted in a decline in the index, which in turn helped the Nifty 50 form a higher base and set the stage for the next leg of up move.

• On the upside 22,400–22,500 would now act as immediate resistance as it is the confluence of:

a) 61.8% retracement of the current decline 22,794-21,932.

b) Last week’s high was placed at 22,588.

Bank Nifty Outlook:

Since the Feb-24 low, the Bank Nifty has been witnessing a peculiar pattern wherein, after a 5% correction, it subsequently rallies to 7%. In the current scenario, with a 5% correction already in place, we expect Bank Nifty to maintain the same rhythm and pose a decent pullback amid oversold conditions. In the coming week, we expect Bank Nifty to undergo base formation in the 47,000–48,500 zone, which will set the stage for the next leg of the up move.

Top Stock Recommendations:

Buy State Bank of India (SBI) in the range of 800-818 for the target of 890 with a stop loss of 745.

Buy Jindal Steel & Power Ltd in the range of 900–930 for the target of 1,050 with a stop loss of 848.
