The Nifty 50 index is poised to challenge its record high after a decisive breakout from a range-bound period. Supported by strong rollover signals from the June derivatives expiry, the index has transformed former resistance levels into new support.
This bullish trend continues despite foreign investors reducing equity holdings, offset by significant investments from domestic institutions.
Rollover Data Signals Strength: A significant 80% of Nifty futures contracts were rolled over to the July series, exceeding the three-month average of 78% (IIFL Capital Services).
Expert Analysis:
Domestic Inflows Fuel Rally: The market's upward momentum is fueled by substantial domestic investment from mutual funds, pension, and insurance funds. This is in contrast to foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) who have been net sellers.
