Weekly Market Review
During the week, Nifty traded range-bound by its 21-DMA (resistance) and 50-DMA (support). There was no break-out in either of two directions. Thursday’s action was volatile as the June series contracts expired. The Union Budget on July 5 can give impetus to Nifty.
On the sectoral front, barring IT (-1.6%) and Media (-0.4%), all sectors closed in the green for the week. Nifty PSU Bank (+3.9%), Realty (+3.9%), and Pharma (+1.9%) were the top gainers.
Today, the advance-decline ratio was skewed toward losers. Of the 2,089 stocks traded on the NSE, 831 advanced, 918 declined, and 340 remained unchanged.
Noteworthy events in the upcoming week:
● July 1: Manufacturing PMI (June)
● July 5: Union Budget for FY20
