Opening Bell: Sensex, Nifty rise on Sino-US trade optimism; Bank Nifty regains 30,000 levels

On account of US-China trade talks optimism the Indian indices went up after witnessing a profit booking on yesterday trade. The BSE Sensex rose 170 points to 38,855 while the Nifty rose 55 points to 11,652. The index Bank Nifty rose 172 points to 30,076 levels. Jindal Steel, Yes Bank and IndusInd Bank were among the major stocks that went northward.

Giving her views on the current maket scenario Nagaraj Shetti – Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst, HDFC securities told Zee Business online, "After showing a weakness in the last session, the Nifty continued with follow-through decline today and closed lower. A small negative candle was formed yesterday, which has placed at the support of 11560 (previous swing high of mid of March, as per the concept of change in polarity)." Shetti said that technically this pattern could indicate a negative trend, but the lack of strength in the downside momentum (absence of sharp weakness today) could give chance for bulls to make a comeback from the lows. Hence, a decisive move below 11,550 levels could signal more weakness for near term.
