  • NIFTY OUTLOOK: 24634.90 FII -2831.59 cr DII 3845.87 cr
  • As discussed yesterday, market behavior remained on expected lines as Nifty bounced up to our level of 24787 (made a high of 24791.3) but failed to sustain and slipped to our breakdown level of 24610 (low of 24606.20).
  • An average bearish candle on the daily chart suggests continuation of the bearish trend. On a decisive breakdown of 24591, Nifty may slip further to 24546–24501, and if supply increases, it may test 24457.
  • On the upside, 24680–24725 may act as immediate resistance. A breakout above these and sustained trade may push Nifty towards 24768–24813.
  • Bank Nifty OUTLOOK:
  • SPOT: 54461.00 Pcr: 0.82 Max CE OI: 55000 Max PE OI: 54000

  • Macros:

  • 2. S&P 500 is @ 16.03 (+4.84 %)
  • 3. Brent crude is @ 67.05
  • 4.US 10 years bond yield @ 4.139 ( -1.15%)
  • Note: As the trade rivalry between the US and China intensifies, Trump has slapped a $1 lakh H1B visa fee, while China has introduced its K visa (a new tech-related visa). Financial details of this visa are not yet available.
  • China’s new visa program, aimed at attracting foreign tech talent, kicks off this week. It is seen as a move to strengthen Beijing’s position in its geopolitical rivalry with Washington, as the new US visa policy prompts would-be applicants to seek alternatives.
  • Although China has no shortage of skilled local engineers, this program is part of its effort to portray itself as welcoming to foreign investment and talent, especially as US tariffs weigh on its economic outlook. The trade war has moved beyond tariffs, with China now trying to align with nations that have been harshly treated by the US. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
  • On commodities, bullion continues its rampage with gold and silver surging, while crude corrected slightly after supply concerns eased.
