Furthermore, Bharti Hexacom’s anchor book showcases top global investors such as Capital Group, Fidelity, Blackrock, and ADIA participating ahead of the opening of the IPO which give all other investors more comforts to block money for long term.

    On valuation at Cmp Rs 821 it is matching the listed peers and even trading on premium to its parent. Hence, considering all the parameters we recommend allotted investors to “HOLD” the Bharti Hexacom Ltd for Long term perspective only while those investors who wish to add on the listing days can wait and watch the space post listing performance and accumulate on dips.

    Break of key levels in Treasuries prompts selloff in Indian bonds

    The hotter-than-expected US inflation has spiked the US bond yields. This is negative for FPI inflows but is unlikely to impact the Indian market which is resilient, and the rally is driven mainly by domestic liquidity. Dips are likely to get bought imparting strength to the market. Therefore, investors may use the dips to buy high quality largecaps where the margin of safety is high.

    Stock Market View: Pre-opening market comment by Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

    In Wednesday's trading session, Nifty closed at 22669, marking a decline of 135 points from the previous close. Noteworthy was Sensex's triumph, surpassing the historic 75,000 milestone, with Bank Nifty also hitting a record high at 49057. However, market sentiments were shaken by the US CPI inflation data, questioning the Fed's rate-cut plans and prompting a bearish outlook on potential rate cuts for 2024. Despite this, hopes for robust Q4 corporate earnings and a pre-election rally remain positive catalysts, as reflected in net buying by both FIIs and DIIs. Nifty's options data indicates a trading range of 21700-23000, with 23000 emerging as a crucial resistance zone.

    Breakout Stocks: How to trade Vedanta, Petronet LNG and Indigo on Friday?

    Priyanka Limaye, CA, CMT explains how to trade these stocks:

    Vedanta
    If it clears and stays above 392, the stock has good prospects of testing its life high of 440 in the medium-term. On the downside, 340-320 are likely to act as good support zones now.

    Petronet LNG
    It is expected to test the 350 mark very soon, and any dip towards 290 can be used as a buying opportunity with a stop of 280.

    IndiGo
    In the short term, it is expected to test 4050 -4100 which is a minor technical hurdle. If the stock sustains above 4050-4100, it can touch 5000 levels. On the downside, 3400-3300 is likely to act as a strong support.
