  • Indian Stock Market Poised for Strong Open as Wall Street Rally Boosts Global Sentiment

    Indian Stock Market Poised for Strong Open as Wall Street Rally Boosts Global Sentiment

    Strong global shifts are expected to give Dalal Street a positive start on Wednesday, August 5. The possible US-Iran agreement is bringing back investor confidence, along with lower crude oil prices. The easing of geopolitical tension declined the price of crude oil to approximately $74 per barrel from previously $75 per barrel. This positive sentiment is reflected in 24,700 in early trade of GIFT Nifty.

    About the improved investor sentiments, Ponmudi R, CEO at Enrich Money, said, “While the recent decline in crude oil prices reflects growing optimism over a potential normalization of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, investors are likely to remain cautious until there is greater clarity on the evolving geopolitical situation.”

    He further added, “Attention is firmly focused on the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision due this morning.” Notably, RBI’s decision arrived on Wednesday morning, following a three-day meeting, and the central bank kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% to control instability in the market.

    This morning Asian equities are trading firmly higher, tracking Wall Street’s second consecutive session of record gains. South Korea’s Kospi deserves a special mention with gains of more than 4%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 progressed 3.15% in the same timeframe. Similarly, the small-cap Kosdaq is up 2.4%, and the broader Topix has gained 1.4%.

    Traders are not lowering their guard, despite the positive start. The reported US-Iran deal is not yet finalized, and any change in the situation could quickly impact global markets. Investors will also eye crude oil prices, foreign investment flows and upcoming economic data for direction.

    However, the mood is still upbeat. Lower oil prices, a strong rally on Wall Street and positive cues from GIFT Nifty have created a better environment for Indian stocks. Dalal Street may continue to hold its positive momentum in the coming sessions if global conditions stay stable.

    GIFT Nifty Signals Weak Start as Middle East Tensions Push Crude Higher: Sensex, Nifty Outlook

    The Indian stock market is expected to open lower on Monday as escalating US-Iran tensions and uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz drive crude oil prices higher, renewing inflation concerns. GIFT Nifty is trading at 24,025, a discount of 198 points from its previous Nifty futures close, indicating a gap-down start.

    Market Recap: Friday’s Gains

    On Friday, the Sensex gained 827.57 points (1.08%) to close at 77,569.39, while the Nifty 50 advanced 244.10 points (1.02%) to finish at 24,206.90. Broader markets outperformed, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising 1.4% and the Nifty Smallcap 100 advancing 1.5%. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 2,603.72 crore, and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) added Rs 2,019.68 crore.

    Sensex Outlook

    Technically, the Sensex closed above 77,500, extending its recovery and maintaining a constructive structure. The market found support near 76,100 and bounced sharply. Short-term texture remains volatile and non-directional.

    Amol Athawale, VP of Technical Research at Kotak Securities, said: “An uptrend may continue. On the higher side, the market could move up to 78,000–78,300. Upside may continue, potentially lifting the market to 78,700. On the flip side, if the market falls below 77,000, it could retest 76,100. Below 76,100, the chances of hitting 75,600–75,500 would increase.”

    Nifty 50 Outlook

    Nifty 50 remains in a broader consolidation phase while maintaining an upward bias. The index formed a high-wave candle on the weekly chart, reflecting volatility but indicating buyers defend lower levels.

    Bajaj Broking Research noted: “Broader market to extend outperformance with Nifty midcap 100 already at an all-time high. We expect Nifty small cap index also to rally to a fresh all-time high. The Index has immediate support at 23,800 levels, being almost identical lows of the last 4 weeks.”

    Near-term range is 23,800–24,350. A sustained move above 24,350 could push the index toward 24,600 and then 24,800. If geopolitical tensions intensify and the index falls below 23,800, selling pressure could drag it to 23,600–23,400.

    Bank Nifty Outlook

    Bank Nifty rose 793.45 points (1.39%) to close at 58,045.90 on Friday. It formed a Dragonfly Doji on the weekly chart, indicating strong buying interest at lower levels. The index is expected to consolidate in the 56,500–58,700 range near term.

    Bajaj Broking added: “A weakness below Wednesday’s low of 56,550 will open downside toward 55,500–55,000. On the higher side, only a move above 58,700 will signal resumption of the up-move toward 59,200 and 60,000 in the coming weeks.”

    Indian Stock Market Update: Sensex Targets 77,500-77,800, Nifty Holds Above 23,900

    Indian equity markets are set to open higher on Thursday, buoyed by positive global cues. The GIFT Nifty surged 95 points in early trade to 24,187.5, signaling a gap-up start for the Nifty 50. This follows Wednesday’s gains where the Sensex rose 0.58% to 76,922.64 and the Nifty closed above 24,000 at 24,005.85.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers on July 2, offloading shares worth Rs. 1,140.50 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought shares worth Rs. 3,159.24 crore.

    Sensex Outlook

    Technically, the Sensex formed a small bullish candle on the daily chart, indicating sustained buying interest after the recent breakout. Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, noted that 76,500 is a key support level for day traders. Above this, bullish momentum could push the index to 77,500-77,800. However, a fall below 76,500 could trigger selling pressure, with potential retests at 76,200 and 76,000.

    Nifty 50 Outlook

    Chouhan added that the Nifty 50 also formed a small bullish candle on the daily chart, with intraday charts showing a reversal pattern. He sees 23,900 as a critical support level. As long as the index stays above this, it could target 24,150-24,250.

    Bank Nifty Outlook

    Bank Nifty settled at 58,033.05 on Wednesday, up 490.15 points (0.85%), forming a bullish candle. Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said immediate resistance is in the 58,400-58,500 zone. A sustainable move above this could push the index to 58,900 and then 59,300 in the short term. On the downside, support is at 57,600-57,500.
