Market gave a good consolidating Monday. Still the levels to watch out for the week have not been broken 19,720 – 19,840.
HDFC Bank results came out after market hours, and profits went up 50% YoY.
Non-Performing Assets have increased quite a bit, due to the calculation changes after the merger. But most of this was already expected after the historic merger with HDFC.
We will be seeing the Bajaj Finance results also coming out today. All this with the FINNIFTY expiry will be creating a lot of volatility in the index today.
The impact of these results along with the premium moves that we saw last Tuesday, will definitely cause a fear for retailers.
Leave the first 10 minutes to HDFC Bank to give a move. If the market stabilises in this time, it would be a good time to enter a trade.
Meanwhile keep an eye on NIFTY’s immediate levels also!
