Markets may remain volatile ahead of F & O expiry

Markets closed the week strong on the back of positive global cues, encouraging infrastructure output data for June and better Q1 results of prominent companies. However, Reliance Q1 net missed the forecasts and was down 11.5 pct on gross refining margin tumbling by 50%, thereby hurting earnings. The company expects to see growth in the next quarters from new refinery and K G D6 wells. But the investors appear to have taken the RILs results a big set back for the markets and a sharp sell off in the market is not ruled out today pulling down the indices. Meantime, F & O expiry this week may add to the volatility in the market and therefore, readers are advised to exercise utmost caution and refrain from large commitments. Stocks of fertilizers, agrochemicals, automobiles, and fast moving consumer goods may attract investors attention in view of improvement in monsoon rains. Global cues and FIIs activities will also impact the trend this week. Meantime, the apex banks monetary policy review to be announced on Tuesday will be keenly watched by the market.

NF may remain in the range of 4461-4667 break above NF may move up to 4693/4735 or else break below NF may slip further to 4436/4402. It is expected that the counter may slide on opening on sell off of RIL stock on its dismal Q1 results. NF today may find strong support at 4517.25 which if breached with volumes may further pull down NF to 4498/4475. NF may find resistance at 4617.75 which if crossed decisively NF may move up to 4643/4665.
