Co-working firm Avanta India plans to expand its portfolio to tap a rising demand of flexible workspace and will open more facilities covering around 50,000 square feet area over the next six months. Avanta India, part of UK-based Avanta group, currently has five co-working centres, comprising of 1.5 lakh square feet area and 3,000 desks, in the national capital (Nehru Place, Connaught Place, KG Marg, Saket) and Gurugram. The company said that it was set to add 50,000 square feet of premium co-working space, which will take its portfolio to 2 lakh square feet.
Technically, the index has maintained its cycle of higher highs – higher lows and decisively breached its previous swing high on the daily chart. Simultaneously, the strong bullish candle formation and the buoyant market participation on the expiry day construe an encouraging sign for the market. On the level front, the 18,200-18,300 level is expected to provide a cushion to any minor decline from the ongoing up move. At the same time, the index is well-versed to reclaim the lifetime high zone and enter uncharted territory in a comparable period.
Technically, 16,611 and 16,888 are the next target levels for the Nifty, while 18,400 and 18,250 will act as immediate and strong support levels. There are no signs of weakness, and Nifty is respecting its immediate moving averages beautifully. Nifty IT is also showing signs of strength, and it may start to do well once it manages to take out the 30,500 mark decisively. Bank Nifty is continuing its outperformance, and it is likely to head towards the 44,000 mark; however, 43,333 is an immediate hurdle. On the downside, 42,600 has become an immediate support level.

Two triggers assisted Sensex's rally to record highs. One, in the mother market, US, the market construct turned favourable with rising equities, declining bond yields and falling dollar. Two, macro developments in India show steady rise in credit growth and capex indicating strong economic recovery. Along with this, sharp correction in crude is a big positive. This has facilitated this Sensex rally led by large-caps, mainly the HDFC twins, Infosys, TCS and RIL.
Led by broad-based buying, domestic indices witnessed solid gains as investors digested the latest FOMC meeting minutes, which hinted that the rate hike cycle may be slowing down. The optimism was further boosted by falling crude prices and the declining dollar index. Crude oil prices dropped over talks of a possible price cap on Russian oil and a rise in US product stockpiles.
