Nifty wavers in early action tracking extremely weak leads from Wall Street.
The big questions:
1) Will Nifty snap its 6-day winning streak?
2) Seven days, seven strides — Seventh winning streak possible for benchmark Nifty?
Well, despite weak leads, Nifty’s 6-day rally appears to be unstoppable on backdrop of positive catalysts like:
1) Cooling India’s inflation.
2) Resilient consumer demand
3) Hope of RBI’s rate cut
4) Strong DII inflows continue.
5) FIIs on the buy side in Monday’s trade.
Our call of the day suggests the trading theme shall revolve around:
1) Nvidia’s earnings due Wednesday – So, all eyes will be on Nvidia as its earnings will be scrutinized amid anxiety over stretched AI valuations.
2) Volatility amidst Weekly F&O expiry.
Bottom-line: Nifty bulls will aim to regroup after a cautious start. We still believe, the benchmark should hit and surpass its all-time high levels sooner rather than later.

The Next Big Catalyst: This week, all eyes will be on the FOMC Minutes from the latest meeting to trickle in this Thursday, November 20th.
The minutes will offer deeper insight into the Federal Reserve’s thinking after it lowered the federal funds rate by 25 bps at its October 2025 meeting, bringing the target range to 3.75%–4.00%.
Meanwhile, the street is expecting less than a 50% chance that the Fed will deliver a 25 bps rate cut next month, down from nearly 90% one month earlier.
