Nifty 50 June futures (10,118)
The Indian benchmark indices, which opened with a gap-up, have been consolidating since the beginning of the session. The Nifty spot and the Sensex spot indices are trading higher by half-a-per cent compared to yesterday’s close. Cues from the Asian markets seem to be mixed as the Nikkei index has closed today with a marginal gain of 0.15 per cent, whereas the Hang Seng index is trading flat.
The market breadth of the Nifty 50 index is neutral as the advances-declines ratio stands at 25-25. The mid-cap and small-cap indices look mixed and among the sectoral indices, the Nifty realty index is the top gainer, up by nearly one per cent. The Nifty media index is the top loser, down by about 1.5 per cent. Volatility seems to have come down by nearly one per cent to 29.9 levels as indicated by the volatility index – India VIX.
The June futures contract of the Nifty index opened marginally higher at 10,076 versus Wednesday’s close of 10,034. After marking an intra-day high of 10,146, the contract is now hovering around 10,120. The near-term trend can be bullish until it stays above the critical support of 10,000. However, for intra-day, 10,150 has been acting as a roadblock for the bulls. Considering these factors, traders can go long if the contract decisively breaks out of 10,150. Stop-loss can be at 10,100. Above 10,150, the contract could rally to 10,200 and 10,250.
Strategy: Initiate long positions above 10,150
Supports: 10,100 and 10,050
Resistances: 10,200 and 10,250

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.

We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.

I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy.
