For the entire week, domestic markets remained highly volatile and stuck in a band due to absence of any fresh triggers. The index Nifty spot, oscillated in a narrow band of 250 points to close extremely flat near 11750 mark. Meanwhile, the Nifty Bank index too ended marginally in red and that below near 30K mark. The volatility index VIX surged towards 26% which was previously witnessed during the year 2016 but settled near 22 mark. On the sectoral front, NIFTY IT (+2.64%) and NIFTY ENERGY (+0.58%) counters supported the markets whereas the NIFTY AUTO (-5.34%) and NIFTY MIDCAP 50 (-2.32%) stocks remained the biggest laggards. From the F&O space, ULTRACEMO (+8.22%), MCX (+7.52%) and DCB (+6.43%) were the outperformers during the week went by.
Once again during the week, the index found support near the 11550 mark. Thus we maintain our stance that if the support of 11550 is held then we might witness an extended relief rally going ahead. A sustainable move above 11750 might pull the index towards all-time high or may be 12000 also. Although we are bullish for short term but we continue to maintain our medium term view that this rally should be used to book profits in long positions. In case of any downside, 11620 – 11550 levels are likely to attract buying interest in coming sessions. Due to election activities we expect some volatility and thus continue to advice traders to avoid overleveraged positions and maintain strict stop loss.

BULLION Gold traded down awaiting Fed; Palladium Crushed. Trend volatile Review Yesterday, both the precious metals were trades slightly negative. Gold settled at $1279.70 per troy ounce up down 0.47% while silver settled at $14.901 per troy ounce down by 1%. U.S. economy is messing things up for gold longs, even as the Fed might come through for them. Palladium, meanwhile, is falling out of bed. After showing promise in the previous session that a return to $1,300-an-ounce pricing may be possible, both gold futures and bullion fell by about half a percent each on Monday as data showing 9-1/2 year highs in April's U.S. consumer spending boosted risk in equity markets and lowered appetite for safe havens like gold. Gold for June delivery, traded on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, settled the official session down $7.30, or 0.6%, at $1,281.50 per ounce. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK
Today, Gold is having support at 31750--31580 while resistance at 31880-32050, silver is having support at 37150-36850 and resistance at 37750-37980. Traders are suggested to trade in a range with strict stop loss.
