11. 21 AM: IIP data
Jyoti Roy - DVP- Equity Strategist, Angel Broking said," India IIP for the month of August contracted by 8.0% YoY as compared to a contraction of 10.7% in July while IIP for the first five months of FY2021 has contracted by 25.0% YoY. The contraction for the month of August was largely along expected lines given that supply chains were yet to normalize fully in August. The mining and manufacturing sectors witnessed contraction of 9.8% and 8.6% YoY while electricity contracted by 1.8% YoY. However we expect IIP to improve further in October due to given pent up demand, inventory push prior to the festive season and further opening up of the economy under unlock 5.0. The recovery is already being reflected in high frequency data like Auto sales and PMI numbers. Auto companies reported another month of strong sequential growth with Maruti Suzuki reporting a 30.8% YoY increase in August domestic sales while Hero Motocorp reported a 16.9% YoY growth in motorcycle sales. The manufacturing PMI for August at 56.8 was the highest since January 2012 and points to a sharp expansion in manufacturing activity in September."
11. 09 AM: CPI inflation data
Jyoti Roy - DVP- Equity Strategist, Angel Broking said,"CPI inflation for the month of September 2020 increased further to 7.34% from 6.69% in August. The CPI inflation continues to remain stubbornly higher than 6% which is the upper end of the RBI's tolerance range for inflation. Food inflation accelerated to 9.73% from 9.05% in August while the miscellaneous component which accounts for 27.3% of the CPI is also running high at 6.89% for the month of September. Clothing & footwear, Housing and fuel inflation at 3.04%, 2.83% and 2.87% are however helping to keep a lid on inflation. Though we expect the CPI inflation numbers to subside going forward as food inflation is expected to come off due to a bumper Kharif crop we believe that the core inflation will continue running high for some time to come which can keep inflation above the RBIs target rate of 4%. Therefore we believe that a rate cut is unlikely in the next MPC meeting in December. However we believe that the RBI will continue to use unconventional policy measure like TLTROs, OMOs, special OMOs etc. in order to bring down the rates at the longer end of the yield curve given that the spread between the overnight and the 10 year G-Sec is still very high at ~190bps despite the measures announced by the RBI so far in its MPC meeting last week."
10. 56 AM: Market outlook
Sameet Chavan (Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking) siad,"In the last couple of weeks also, we had a remarkable rally after testing the 200-day SMA around 10800. Post the initial hour, the market witnessed some profit booking at higher levels, which was then followed by a consolidation to conclude the day on a flat note.Yesterday, for the first time in the last few trading sessions, the bulls looked a bit tentative at higher levels, especially in the banking space after a strong close on Friday.
Yesterday's move as of now should only be construed as a profit taking and not the complete reversal. As far as levels are concerned, 11867 - 11800 should be treated as a support zone; whereas on the higher side, 12000 - 12050 are the levels to watch out for."

In case of decline, the index will initially find support at 11,794 and then at 11,618 levels.
