25 June 2021, Pre Market Report: Accenture posts stellar results! Will IT sector take Nifty to 16000
Good Morning everyone, Like we discussed yesterday in the Postmarket report, Accenture posted their results and they are back to pre-pandemic levels. Since Accenture is one of the first IT companies to share their quarterly results, it is like an indicator for the entire sector. This could help the Indian IT shares to go up too. But as we all have already invested in the IT companies like HCL, TCS & Infosys already as per our strategy, we can reap good profits now. I am sure all of you are sitting with good profits already.
Global markets:
The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 indexes hit all-time highs on Thursday, with the Dow also jumping, as US lawmakers crafted a $1 trillion package including a $579 billion spending on infrastructure.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.04% at 34,225.35 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.66% to 4,269.79. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.72% to 14,374.56.
Asian markets were mostly higher tracking US markets overnight. Nikkei and Hang Seng rose 0.5 percent each, while Kospi and Taiwan indexes gained 0.7% each.
Indian Market:
Reliance shares went down by 2 percent yesterday after the AGM and that itself has brought down the index by almost 50 points as a heavyweight on the index. IF Reliance moves further down, we can see another downfall in the Index, but if Reliance recovers from the losses, then we might see the index moving to 16000 levels.
Trends on SGX nifty make me feel that the market will open with a flat to small gap up at around 15800-15850, which I consider is good for the market to actually move upwards. Let us wait and watch.
