GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (-76, 25515)

Market Recap: In Thursday’s trade, the benchmark Nifty tumbled sharply, as the pessimism prevailed for 2nd straight day.

The negative takeaway? — “Nifty’s sentiment remained fragile — with Nifty trapped in a narrow range and lacking bullish conviction.”

The Road Ahead:

“The pessimism at Dalal Street is such that there is no place to run or hide for the bulls.”

The 2-Headwinds:

1) Pessimism revolves around Fed’s Goolsbee who too echoed a concern laid out by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, saying that they are uneasy about rate cuts without inflation data, citing rising services inflation right before the shutdown.

2) In yesterday’s trade, FIIs turned out to be net sellers to the tune of Rupees 3263

The Positive Catalyst: Hopes of a favourable outcome from the ongoing U.S.–India trade negotiations.

Technically Speaking: Strength will be confirmed only above 25,903 levels. For Friday’s session, 25,777 will act as a major hurdle.

Bottom Line: Market sentiment remains fragile, and the battle for directional clarity is likely to continue.

Expect Nifty to remain range-bound with negative bias, absolutely without bullish conviction.

STOCKS IN SPOTLIGHT:

1) Redington (+14.75%) surged after its consolidated revenue for Q2 FY26 stood at Rs 29,118 crore, up 17% year-on-year, driven by robust demand across India, the Middle East, and Africa. Net profit jumped 32% YoY to Rs 388 crore, while EBITDA rose 23% YoY to Rs 632 crore.

2) Astral (+7.14%) zoomed higher after its revenue from operations rose 15.1% year-on-year to Rs 1,577.4 crore, up from Rs 1,370.4 crore in Q2 FY25, driven by sustained demand in both core segments.

3) Delhivery (-10%) slumped after the company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 50.37 crore in Q2 FY26, compared with a net profit of Rs 10.20 crore in Q2 FY25.

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+84, 25737)

Market Recap: In Tuesday’s trade, the benchmark Nifty tumbled sharply, snapping its recent winning streak.

The negative takeaway? — there was no place to hide for the bulls as broad-based selling swept across sectors.

The Road Ahead: However, this Thursday morning, there’s a bright chance of a rebound, with Nifty and key stocks likely to stage a recovery from Tuesday’s drubbing.

The Positive Catalysts:

1️⃣ Wall Street stabilises, easing some of the global pressure.
2️⃣ Hopes of a favourable outcome from the ongoing U.S.–India trade negotiations.

Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday said that talks on the proposed India–U.S. Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) are progressing smoothly, though he cautioned that “many sensitive and serious issues” remain unresolved.

The Headwind:

⚠ The Fed’s ambiguous stance on a potential December rate cut continues to cloud investor sentiment.
Federal Reserve officials have refrained from providing a clear timeline for policy easing, keeping traders cautious.

Bottom Line: Market sentiment remains fragile, and the battle for directional clarity is likely to continue.

Expect Nifty to remain range-bound, wavering without firm conviction.

Technically Speaking:

Strength will be confirmed only above 26,107 levels.

For Thursday’s session, 26,903 will act as a major hurdle.

STOCKS IN SPOTLIGHT:

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (-32, 25887)

Before we start, here is a gentle reminder that our stock markets will remain closed on Wednesday, November 5th 2025 on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti.

Now to the big question of the day: Will the bulls stage a comeback, or will caution continue to weigh on sentiment?

Strictly speaking, Nifty’s record peak of 26,277.35 may remain just out of reach for now, as investors adopt a wait-and-watch approach with a mildly negative bias toward Indian equities.

Key Headwinds:

1) The Fed’s ambiguous stance on a potential December rate cut.

2) Lack of clarity in the ongoing U.S.–India trade negotiations.

3) Muted Q2 earnings season from India Inc.

Our call of the day suggests that the session is likely to see intense back-and-forth action, with bears resisting every upward move, keeping volatility elevated.

Technically speaking, confirmation of strength is only above the 26107 mark. For Tuesday’s trade, Nifty 25927 will act as a big hurdle.

Long Story Short: Technically, look for buying only above Nifty 26107 mark.

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (-35, 25866)

Welcome to the 1st trading day of the week — and the November month.

First, the re-cap of Friday’s trading: Nifty, Sensex and Bank Nifty received massive drubbing in Friday’s trade. The negative takeaway was that all sectoral indices ended in red barring Nifty PSU Banks.

The 3-big questions:

1) Are Nifty and its stocks already priced to perfection?
2) The return of risk??
3) Will the bulls stage a comeback, or will caution continue to weigh on sentiment?

Nifty’s record peak of 26,277.35 may remain just out of reach for now, as investors adopt a wait-and-watch approach with a mildly negative bias toward Indian equities.

Key Headwinds:

1) The Fed’s ambiguous stance on a potential December rate cut.

2) Lack of clarity in the ongoing U.S.–India trade negotiations.

3) Muted Q2 earnings season from India Inc.

Now, here is good news:

India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections for October 2025——grew 4.6% year-on-year to ₹1.96 lakh crore, indicating resilience in consumption despite extensive GST rate rationalisation during the month.

Agreed that the October GST figures aligns with Indian government expectations, but please note, the street still believes that only the upcoming November-December months will offer a clearer picture of revenue buoyancy under the new lower-rate regime.

Long Story Short: Technically, look for buying only above Nifty 26107 mark.

Until then the gyan mantra is to stay cautious on long positions.

Meanwhile, our stock markets will remain closed on Wednesday, November 5th 2025 on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti.

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+32, 26055)

Welcome to the final trading day of the week — and the month.

Nifty and Sensex received massive drubbing in yesterday’s trade.

💭 The Big Question:

Will the bulls stage a comeback, or will caution continue to weigh on sentiment?

🔍 Market Mood: “Buy on Rumour, Sell on Fact” in Play

The classic market behaviour seems evident once again as:
1️⃣ The much-anticipated Xi–Trump meeting failed to spark optimism.
2️⃣ The U.S. Federal Reserve’s 25 bps rate cut also fell short of lifting market sentiment.

🌤 The Good News

Despite the muted tone, bears remain largely on the sidelines, suggesting underlying support for the market.

📊 Technical View

Confirmation of strength now only above the Nifty 26,107 mark.

Until then, expect a choppy, range-bound session with intraday volatility.

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+81, 25926)

The Good News for Bullish Nifty Traders: Investors shall welcome a softer-than-expected US inflation report that strengthens expectations for Fed rate cuts.

As per the CME Group FedWatch, futures traders are currently pricing in a 97% chance the central bank will lower the federal funds rate by a quarter-percentage point this Wednesday, October 29th .

Odds of another rate cut in December have risen to 92% from 73% one month ago.

The Other 2-Positive Catalyst:

1) Possible trade-deal between the US and China.
2) Renewed optimism on trade, as hopes rise that the U.S. may cut tariffs on Indian imports to 15–16%.

Technically, all bullish eyes set on Nifty’s all-time peak at 26,277.35, which is likely to be sooner rather than later.

For the day, Nifty bulls may aim to reclaim the 26000 mark.
