12.11 PM: Market outlook
Ruchit Jain (Senior Analyst - Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking) said," Our markets started the session almost flat and surpassed the 11900 mark in the first hour post opening. But the volatility in global markets kept the traders on toes and post noon, we saw a sharp cut after a sudden fall in Dow Futures. However, the index managed to find support above 11750 and recovered in last couple of hours to end the volatile session above 11900.
Our markets witnessed a volatile session today which was much expected due to the mega global event of U.S. elections. 12000-12025 has been a hurdle for Nifty recently and once we see a breakout beyond the same, the index too should see a good momentum for near term targets of 12160 followed by 12325. Thus, a simultaneous breakout in both Nifty and the Midcap index should lead to a good trended upmove in the broader markers, and thus traders should capitalize on such opportunity. On the flipside, 11800-11750 would now be seen as immediate supports for Nifty."

Company achieved 12% higher turnover of Rs. 1044. 8 crore in Q2FY21 as against Rs. 935.5 crore in Q2FY20 also beats street expectation. The company's concerted efforts to improve efficiencies, better product mix and reduction in logistic costs enabled the Company to push its profitability up. Softening in Pet-Coke prices helped the Company to improve the margins. Company's EBIDTA rose by 32% to Rs. 205.1 crore in Q2FY21 from Rs. 155.5 crore in Q2FY20. Overall, numbers were above our expectation in all the key parameters. We are bullish on JK Lakshmi Cement as it is witnessing strong demand in its operating regions and it is trading at a discount compared to its historical valuation as well as peers. JK Lakshmi Cement is our top pick in midcap cement Space."

As the election process commenced, markets anticipate a slight edge towards Democrat Joe Biden winning the U.S. presidency which might open gates for larger U.S. stimulus. The losses for Gold were limited as it tends to benefit from stimulus infusion as it is considered as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement. Moreover, alarming increase in the coronavirus cases around the globe clouded the global economic outlook. Many nations reinforced fresh lockdown which dented markets risk appetite and further supported Gold prices. Markets will have a keen watch on the outcome of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). As for today traders can go for Buy in gold at Rs 51000 levels with the stop loss of Rs 50700 levels for the target of 51500 levels.

Keshav Lahoti-Associate Equity Analyst, Angel Broking said,"Maharashtra accounts for ~25% revenue for the multiplex industry, so it is very important that theatres open in Maharashtra so that movies that are expected to get good occupancy plan their release. The Maharashtra Government allowed the reopening of cinema halls, theatres and multiplexes in the state from November 5 with 50% occupancy in areas outside containment zones only. We see this as a positive development for the multiplex industry. We believe gradually things are improving for the industry. We don't have big expectations of box office collections around diwali festival. Although, we believe movies releasing around Christmas should report decent box office collections. We are bullish on PVR and Inox Leisure as long term fundamentals are still intact for the industry and stocks have corrected ~40% due to Covid-19."
