Share markets outlook for today (December 26)

"The 'buy on dips' strategy continues to drive investors during the subdued week. Mid and small caps remain in the limelight, benefiting from ease in oil prices and the anticipation of a potential rate cut in CY24, supported by slower-than-expected US GDP growth and weakness in the dollar, signalling early rate cuts. Realty and Auto sectors shine, while PSU banks outperform peers on account of improvements in balance sheets and profitability. Despite a premium valuation, the short-term positive trend persists, supported by a strong revival in FIIs buying & stock specific actions. Heading into the festive season and year-end, we can anticipate a range-bound trade scenario with limited data points," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

Nifty outlook today (December 26): Analyst view

"The Nifty index displayed volatile movements on the last day of the week but managed to close above the crucial level of 21,300. The lower-end support for the index is positioned at 21,200, presenting a buying opportunity on any dips toward this level. Sustaining above 21,300 could pave the way for further upside momentum, targeting the 21,500 level,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities

"The Bank Nifty index faced selling pressure on the last day but managed to hold the key support level of 47,400.

On the upside, the immediate resistance is at 47,700, and a breakout above this level may trigger short-covering, pushing the index higher toward 48,000/48,200 levels,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities
