Top Q3 performers for FY-10
Earnings: What Q3 numbers mean for companies
Benchmark indices outperformed the broader markets after a sharp correction in the past few sessions.
Indices opened on a higher note in line with positive Asian markets and gained momentum as the session progressed, only to retreat from crucial resistance levels. Positive response to NTPC follow-on public issue and gains in European market boosted sentiments.
However, analysts are not convinced with the rally. They expect the market to remain volatile with negative bias till the Union Budget is announced later this month.
“We are bearish on the market and see Nifty slipping to 3800-4200 in next three-six months time. Investors should book profits and stay in cash while traders should go short on the market,” said Sarvendra Srivastava, technical strategist, Emkay Global Financial Services.
