Benchmarks extend rally for 4th session; FIIs drive gains
Mumbai:Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty advanced for the fourth straight session on Friday, supported by buying in blue-chips ICICI Bank and Reliance Industries amid fresh foreign fund inflows. A strengthening rupee against the US dollar and softening crude oil prices in international markets also boosted investor confidence, according to traders.
The BSE Sensex climbed 303.03 points or 0.36 per cent to reclaim the 84,000 level and settle at 84,058.90. During the day, it jumped 333.48 points or 0.39 per cent to 84,089.35. As many as 2,251 advanced, while 1,760 declined and 154 remained unchanged on the BSE. On the similar lines, the 50-share NSE Nifty rose 88.80 points or 0.35 per cent to 25,637.80. On the weekly front, the BSE benchmark surged 1,650.73 points or 2 per cent, and the Nifty climbed 525.4 points or 2 per cent. 'Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex closed on a firm footing on Friday, capping off the week with robust gains. The rally was underpinned by de-escalation in geopolitical tensions post the Israel-Iran ceasefire and growing optimism surrounding a prospective US-India trade pact, which acted as key macro tailwinds. On a weekly basis, both frontline indices logged gains of 2 per cent,' according to Bajaj Broking market commentary.
From the Sensex pack, Asian Paints, UltraTech Cement, Power Grid, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, Bharat Electronics and Sun Pharma were among the major gainers.

ACC to TVS Motor -Jay Thakkar suggests three stocks to buy for short-term in F&O segment
Stock market news: Indian stock indices maintained an upward trend for the fourth consecutive session, bolstered by favorable global cues, relative calm regarding the Israel-Iran conflict, and the potential extension of the tariff deadline set for July 9 by the US government. A spokesperson from the White House suggested on Thursday that the reciprocal tariff deadline might be postponed, but emphasized that the final decision rests with President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, President Trump indicated that a "great deal" involving India is forthcoming, which has improved investor confidence. The Indian negotiation team is currently in the United States working on a trade agreement. India's robust domestic fundamentals, an agile RBI, and favorable monsoon conditions are supporting the financial markets. With US markets reaching record highs and the US dollar weakening, emerging markets such as India are expected to gain. The Sensex concluded the day at 84,058 points, rising by 303 points, while the Nifty 50 finished at 25,637 points, up by 89 points. Nifty 50 has provided a clean breakout from the sideways consolidation; thus, the short-term trend is bullish. The June series ended on a positive note as Nifty 50 closed above 25,300 levels and the FIIs also reduced their short positions on the Index to quite an extent i.e. from over 1 lakh to merely 35,000 contracts , they also had bought huge in the equity cash segment of over 12,500 crores. So, the short covering coupled with strong buying in equity cash segment led to a clean breakout and thus the uptrend has been established. There was strong call writing in the range of 25,200-25,300 prior to the breakout, hence this range now becomes an immediate support, whereas, 26,000 to 26,300 are the short to medium term targets. The Bank Nifty has also provided a clean breakout above 56,500 levels, thus the supporting Nifty 50 to inch higher. Jay Thakkar of ICICI Securities recommends TVS Motor Futures, Mahanagar Gas Futures, and ACC Futures. TVS Motor has provided a breakout from the sideways consolidation with a clear long built up, indicating further uptrend in the stock. The stock has been one of the outperformers in the two-wheeler segment and hence the upside probability seems higher. There has been good put additions at the lower levels as well as call unwinding indicating good upside possibility. Currently, the stock is trading above its max pain and modified max pain level as well as its 20-day VWAP levels, hence the short-term trend appears bullish Mahanagar Gas had seen huge short built in the previous fall post which the stock managed to bounced back and consolidate. In the entire consolidation period, the stock had witnessed short covering and finally it has provided a breakout from the consolidation which is much positive in the near term. The stock has now moved above its 20-day VWAP as well as its max pain and modified max pain levels, so the upside potential is higher. The cements sector is witnessing good long built up overall and in the case of ACC short covering is expected in the short term as the stock has formed multiple bottoms as well as the sector is in overall uptrend. Although there is higher call base at 1900 and 2000 strikes, however, there is good unwinding of calls below 1900 strike, hence the uptrend has a higher probability in the near term. The stock is also trading well above its 20-day VWAP now as well as its above max pain level.
