Key benchmark indices Nifty &
Sensex rallied 2.7-2.45 percent during the week as investors cheered the
improved macro-economic data like inflation & decent growth in merchandise
export in June and the RBI norms that will help infrastructure firms and
affordable housing projects get cheaper loans from banks.

The annual rate of inflation based on
the combined consumer price indices (CPI) for urban and rural India eased to
7.31% in June 2014, from 8.28% in May 2014.
India's merchandise exports jumped 10.22% to $26.48 billion in June 2014
over June 2013 and Imports rose 8.33% to $38.24 billion in June 2014 over June
2013. The trade deficit stood at $11.76 billion in June 2014, which was higher
than trade deficit of $11.28 billion in June 2013.
Going forward in absence of any major
macroeconomic data FIIs investment trend, progress of monsoon, trend in global
markets and next batch of Q1FY2014-15 earnings will dictate near term trend of
Indian bourses. Among prominent results, RIL, UltraTech Cement, HDFC, HDFC
Bank, Idea Cellular, Asian Paints, Axis Bank, Cairn India, Wipro, ACC, Ambuja
Cements & Punjab National Bank will announce their April-June 2014 results
in next week. Next week Metal stocks
would be in focus as Markit Economics will announce China’s PMI for July’14.
In short term Nifty is seen moving in
a range of 7550-7750 points while sectors like IT, Banking (Pvt.), Metal,
Insurance & Automobile are expected to perform better as compare to Index.
