Markets are likely to see trending activity after the FOMC meeting. The focus should be on FMCG and Infrastructure related stocks.

By Shrikant Chouhan
FMCG and technology stocks saved the market on Tuesday, otherwise, the Nifty/Sensex would have reached 14,800/50000 again due to weakness in bank stocks and metal companies. The global market was stable and long-term bond yields were also trading in the short-range. We believe that the markets would remain on the sidelines until the FOMC meeting is completed (Results will come Thursday morning) in the US. Keep an eye on the 14750/49800 and 15100/51000 range. Long positions should be bought between the levels of 14750/14800 (49800/50000) with a stop loss of 14700/49600 in the near future. We are likely to see trending activity after the FOMC meeting. The focus should be on FMCG and Infrastructure related stocks.
Technical stock picks are:
BUY, CMP: Rs: 3,489, TARGET: Rs 3,660, SL: Rs 3,420

After the strong rally from 200 to 350 levels, the stock went into a corrective pattern however a hammer candlestick formation has occurred near its 20 day EMA.
