Speaking on the current market outlook Prakash Pandey, Head of Research at Fairwealth Securities said, "Indian stock market is in the range of 11,000 to 11,250. However, a bullish or bearish trend in the future depends upon whether it breaks the 11,300 levels or not. Till then, I would suggest stock market investors maintain buy on dips strategy and keep an eye on the Hong Kong unrest and China-US trade talks." However, Pandey added that the stock market is rife about the waiver of a budget surcharge being levied on the FPIs that led to huge selloff by the FIIs at Dalal Street.
