“The relentless Bull Run which began in April 2020 has taken the Sensex beyond 60000 and is now poised to push Nifty to 18000 level today. The incredible return of above 130 per cent from the lows of March 2020 and above 60 per cent for the last 12 months has created phenomenal wealth for all kinds of investors -FIIs, DIIs and retail. After 60,000 for Sensex and 18,000 for Nifty, markets may consolidate for a while. After massive selling in July (Rs11308 cr) and tepid buying in August (Rs 2083 cr) FIIs have turned aggressive buyers in September with a buy figure of Rs 13536 cr up to 27th September,” Dr. V K Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Financial Services said.
According to him, this change in strategy of FIIs is likely to impart resilience to the market. On the macro front, rising tax collections and progressive reopening in economically significant states like Maharashtra are positives while brent crude at $ 79 is a clear negative.

For the current week, no major economic event is scheduled globally. Investors will be keenly tracking developments on Evergrande seemingly defaults,” Binod Modi, Head Strategy at Reliance Securities said.
“Further, any possible announcements from Congress in the context of debt ceiling in the USA would be a focus area. Notably, Treasury Secretary has already warned Federal Government may run out of treasury by mid of October if debt ceiling is not increased, which could have a widespread impact of global financial markets.” he added.
