Progress in trade talks between the US and China is expected to give a leg up to investor sentiment. The flow of foreign capital will also set the mood for the market
The positive global sentiment, amid signs of an ebb in US-China trade war, and hopes of government measures to prop up the auto sector, helped equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty end in the green on September 6.
However, on a weekly basis, Sensex fell 0.94 percent while Nifty retreated 0.70 percent, as concerns on the deteriorating health of domestic and global economy dented investors' risk appetite.
Data released last week showed that US job growth slowed in August, while retail hiring declined for the seventh straight month.
Poor sets of macroeconomic data from major economies of the world have fanned hopes of government stimulus and rate cuts by central banks.
Progress in trade talks between the US and China is expected to give a leg up to investor sentiment. The flow of foreign capital will also set the mood for the market.
"Good news on trade war front should bring respite to global and local equity carnage. Across the World, stocks are rebounding but India somehow seems to be intoxicated with domestic blues. But soon, FPIs propelled inflows will take the market higher and eventually change the sentiments. It is time to, therefore, accumulate some good quality stocks at least for the short to medium term," said Jimeet Modi, Founder & CEO, SAMCO Securities & StockNote.
On the technical front, analysts believe the market may see the continuation of recovery for a couple of sessions if the bulls manage to push harder. In that case, the index can stretch towards 11,050-11,100.
"The plausible move on the upside will be the last leg of a potential running triangular pattern post which the Nifty can resume the larger downtrend. On the flip side, failure to sustain above 10,950 would indicate the start of the next down leg right away. A crucial trend line support on the downside is near 10,800 below which, it may test the August low at 10,637,"said Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
