With 18,100 within a leap away, bullish exhaustion is likely to set in. Favored views expect initial dips to take support near 17,720 before a breach above 17,900 is attempted. However, repeat slippage towards the 17,700 vicinity could confirm exhaustion calling for 17,630-580-440.

In an environment which is volatile, I want safety first and especially the retail investors or the institutions would prefer safety first over returns later. ICICI fits the bill perfectly. It was under-owned for the last one year. It has come back with stellar numbers and I still think ICICI is going to go to four digits and beyond and that would be my top pick on the safety criteria.

Rupee rises 25 paise to 82.63 against US dollar in early trade

The initial months of Samvat 2079 are likely to be highly volatile with alternative bouts of selling and buying in the mother market US, which will have repercussions on other markets including India’s. In this highly uncertain environment clarity is emerging on some important trends: one, the US economy is slowing down and the most likely scenario is a short and mild recession, which the market has largely discounted. India’s growth too will be impacted by a global slowdown but India will be the least impacted large economy. This environment coupled with the resources of DIIs and retail investors can hold the market in good stead and can take it to new record highs, but high valuations are a concern. Investors can approach Samvat 2079 with cautious optimism and remain invested in high quality stocks and buy on declines in performing sectors like banking, capital goods, telecom and autos. Selective pharma and FMCG stocks would be good hedges in this uncertain environment.
