Indian Markets Recovered from Previous Week's loss and bulls were completely in charge of the market. The sentiment among retail investors are upbeat as many stocks touched their 52-week high. Indian markets are once-again hovering around their all-time high and global cues have led further strength to Indian equities. Majority of voices talking about correction have been silenced (at least for short term) by underlying strength in the market.

Nifty ended up giving a follow up buying post a reversal pattern last week and reversed from its crucial moving averages. The comeback of bulls was led by positive cues coming in from global markets which continued to flourish near all-time highs along with domestic cues as well.

Indian stocks markets witnessed selling pressure this week but the bullish sentiment returned during the end of the week as Moody's upgraded ratings for India. Market experts are still not convinced about strength in markets to reach new highs next week. Majority of analysts indicate high chances of correction in the market. As results season is about to end, Indian markets will mainly depend on global cues for direction over next few weeks.

Indian markets scaled new highs this week as the global sentiment was bullish. As the U.S. Government announced new tax rates, investors in the United States are upbeat about economy and future results from companies (mainly due to tax cuts).

Market analysts believe that Nifty can scale new highs if it strongly closes above 10,200 level. Banks have not participated in the recent pullback in the stock markets. Few banks have declared quarterly results, which have remained below market expectations. And, market analysts are not having high expectations from public sector banks considering higher provisions for bad loans.

Policy has of course revised its Inflation projection at 4.2-4.6% in second half of FY17-18. Inflation has changed its trajectory to upwards and seems to have tapered off the base effect in August.
