GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+43, 25573)

The big trading theme revolves around 2-catalysts:

1) Tariff threats.
2) TCS officially sets afire the ceremonial starters pistol for Q1 earning season on July 10th after market hours. TCS press conference is likely at 5:30 pm

Now, here is next big news making headlines this Thursday…

‘Fed Minutes from the June 17-18 FOMC Meeting Minutes point to lower inflation ahead’

…while the majority of policymakers continued to have concerns regarding the inflationary pressures anticipated from President Donald Trump’s implementation of import taxes aimed at altering global trade,

We will spy with one big eye if inflation shock in the US from tariffs is “temporary or modest.”

Our call of the day suggests Nifty shall swing between small gains and small loss.

The biggest support to watch on Nifty is placed at 25221 mark.

Technically speaking, confirmation of strength is only above the 25670 mark.

The Gyan Mantra: Stay nimble as there could be some “whipsaw” in the near term.

Amongst stock specific action:

1) Reliance Industries fell 1.21% on media reports that its telecom and digital arm, Reliance Jio Platforms, has shelved plans to go public in 2025.

2) Tata Motors is likely to trade sluggish in near term after the company’s global wholesales (including Jaguar Land Rover) declined 9% to 2,99,664 units compared with Q1 FY26. Global wholesale of all Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles and the Tata Daewoo range in Q1 FY26 was at 87,569, lower by 6% over Q1 FY25.

3) JSW Steel slipped 0.44% despite the company recording consolidated steel production of 7.26 million tonnes in Q1 FY26, up 14% as compared with the production volume of 6.35 million tonnes reported in Q1 FY25.

4) Aurionpro Solutions rose 0.93% after the company announced that it has secured a multi-million-dollar contract to deploy its digital banking platform for a leading African bank.

Now, here is the preferred trade on Nifty and Bank Nifty:

First, the good news: Overnight at Wall Street, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.94% to close at a record high, while the Dow and S&P 500 gained 0.49% and 0.61%, respectively, and most importantly, logged their first gains in three sessions.

The Positive Catalyst: Investors cheer Fed-rate cut talks.

Gift Nifty is pointing to open with positive bias as investors cheer Fed-rate cut talks.

Our call of the day however suggests it’s likely to be a choppy and whipsaw kind of day for the benchmark Nifty.

Blame it on tariff muddy outlook. Strictly speaking, tariff volatility is back on the front pages and the negative takeaway is that there is no end in sight for tariff uncertainties.

This Thursday morning, Japanese Nikkei is trading with negative bias amidst stalled trade negotiations between the US and Japan.

The street fears that Trump’s tariff threats could dampen global growth and curb demand for industrial metals.

Long story short: Proceed with caution at Dalal Street.

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (-25, 25580)

As of recording, US-India, trade deal is yet to be out…

But, please note, Donald Trump has warned that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates) with 10% additional tariff.

Trump has said that BRIC countries will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy.

On the face of it, the Trump administration has not appreciated BRICS Nation condemning attacks on Iran, Gaza war, and Trump’s tariffs.

Looks like the situation is heating up as the Brazilian President Lula responded to Trump’s tariff threats by saying the world does not ‘want an emperor’ who lashes out over the internet.

Long story short: The need of hour is global cooperation and the proposed tariff does not hit consumers across globe, financial markets across globe, and the global economy.

Until a favorable tariff deal is not arrived at, expect volatility, volatility and volatility to be the hallmark for Nifty and its stocks.

The biggest support to watch on Nifty is placed at 25221 mark.

2) TCS officially sets afire the ceremonial starters pistol for Q1 earning season on July 10th.

The Gyan Mantra: Stay nimble as there could be some “whipsaw” in the near term.

Please note, Whipsaw describes a market that seems to be trending in one direction but then violently reverses course
