Daily Update, Market Ka Haal adminaw

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+217, 25973)

Bullish euphoria and an early Diwali party is quite likely at Dalal Street.

Festive Cheer for Nifty Bulls. The 3-Positive Catalysts:

1) Fed’s rate cuts bets are likely to overshadow near-term trade concerns.

2) Global tailwinds, especially strong Wall Street cues.

3) The IMF’s upward revision of India’s FY26 GDP growth forecast to 6.6%.

Technically speaking, aggressive interweek targets placed at 25,670 (High as on June 30, 2025) — as bullish momentum looks poised to extend.

Helping sentiments will also be:

1) Comments from Fed Chair Powell who has reinforced expectations for an October rate cut and hinted at a possible pause in balance sheet runoff.

2) Fading trade war fears

3) WTI crude oil futures stayed depressed near $58.60 per barrel, near its five-month low as investors weighed escalating US-China tensions and a bearish outlook from the International Energy Agency.

Key Q2 Earnings on radar:

• Thursday, October 16 – Infosys, Jio Financial, LTIMindtree, Mastek, Nestlé India, Wipro, and Zee Entertainment.

• Friday, October 17 – Reliance Industries, the centerpiece of the earnings season.

Long story short: Make Hay while the Sun Shines! Festive Spirit on Dalal Street Quite Likely!

OUR VIEW FOR MONDAY’S TRADE

Next week is going to be a Diwali Week where our stock markets will remain closed for 2 days, except for Mahurat Trading Session on Tuesday, where our stock markets will remain Open for 1 hour in the afternoon.

Technically, we suspect Nifty will now aim its all-time high at 26277.35 mark.

Bottom-line: Festive season optimism likely to help benchmarks acquire more heights.
