Nifty is just 100-point away from hitting a record high but the rally is not broad-based.

In fact in Monday’s trading session when Sensex hit a record high, more than 300 stocks hit a fresh 52-week low which not a welcome sign for the bulls.

Most experts are of the view that we are knocking on the door of record high which could well come in if not in July then in August series as long as the index trades above 11,080.

Rupee and crude are stable so that should comfort the bulls and if corporate earnings also come in line or better than estimates then surely we are looking at record highs on the index.
