Here is a list of things to watch out for on 30 December 2022

What should investors do?

Domestic markets may attempt to extend the rebound on the last trading day of the calendar year however mixed global cues could cap the upside.

Besides, the existence of a hurdle around 18,350 in Nifty is added negative. We thus reiterate our view to continue with stock-specific trading approach and maintain positions on both sides until we get clarity over the directional move in the index.
