GIFT Nifty signals yet another cautious optimistic start — perfectly aligning with our “Call of the Day,” which suggests that bullish investors would aim to step-in amidst 2-positive catalysts:

1) US stock futures continue to enjoy strong session even after a spectacular rebound witnessed in overnight trade.
2) US lawmakers are nearing a deal to end the record-long government shutdown.

Bottom-line: The sentiments could tilt towards Nifty’s bullishness only if FIIs selling is off the front pages. Technically, confirmation of strength will only come once Nifty closes above the 25,807 mark.

7:00 AM GLOBAL UPDATE:

GIFT Nifty 🇮🇳: (+41, 25707)
Dow Futures: (+51, 47420)
Nasdaq 100 Futures (+66, 25678)

Nikkei (+321, 51235)
Hang Seng (+99, 26748)

Dow Jones (+382, 47369)
Nasdaq Composite (+523, 23527)
Bovespa (+1194, 155257).

WHAT HAPPENED AT WALL STREET IN OVERNIGHT TRADE:

Wall Street shoots out of the gate in Monday’s trade and most importantly, holds gains into the close.

The Positive Catalyst: Signs that US lawmakers are nearing a deal to end the record-long government shutdown.

As on Monday’s close, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.8% at 47,368, the broader S&P 500 was 1.5% higher at 6,832, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had gained 2.3% to 23,527.

Gold prices ($4127 per ounce) climbed, hovering now near its highest level since October 24, driven by growing expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December, despite policymakers’ efforts to downplay the likelihood of such a move.

WTI crude oil futures ($59.95) continue to be under pressure recently from expectations that global supply will outpace demand, with OPEC and its allies, including Russia, easing output curbs ahead of a planned pause in hikes next quarter.

GIFT Nifty signals yet another cautious optimistic start — perfectly aligning with our “Call of the Day,” which suggests that bullish investors would aim to step-in amidst 2-positive catalysts:

1) Well, after weeks of relentless FII outflows, a ray of optimism surfaced in Friday’s trade as overseas investors turned net buyers by ₹6,675 crore.
2) US stock futures are pointing to sizeable gains amid signs that US lawmakers are nearing a deal to end the record-long government shutdown.

Bottom-line: This reversal in sentiments towards bullishness could refresh confidence that the recent selling spree might soon run its course, lending strength to Nifty’s undertone. That said, confirmation of strength will only come once Nifty closes above the 25,807 mark.

WHAT HAPPENED AT WALL STREET IN FRIDAY’S TRADE:

Wall Street staged a major rebound in Friday’s session after steep early losses, though the broader takeaway remained negative as all major benchmarks posted sizable weekly declines. Selling pressure dominated early trade amid concerns over stretched valuations and the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.

However, late optimism emerged after media reports suggested the funding deadlock might be resolved sooner than expected, helping two of the three major indices close in positive territory.

Net-net, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.2% to 23,004. The broader S&P 500 managed a 0.1% gain to end at 6,728 and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2% to 46,987.

Gold prices ($4021 per ounce) are seen stabilizing above the $4,000 per ounce, but remaining below October’s record high of $4,382 with investors keeping an eye on the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook

WTI crude oil futures ($59.95) was seen consolidating with slight negative bias as, traders assessed OPEC+’s decision to pause output increases next quarter amid expectations of slowing demand and looming oversupply.

GIFT Nifty is pointing to another drubbing and that’s in line-with our call of the day which suggests bullish investors are likely to pull back their bets in Friday’s trade amidst another steep sell-off at Wall Street in overnight trade.

The Biggest Headwind: In yesterday’s trade, FIIs turned out to be net sellers to the tune of Rupees 3263.

Technically speaking, confirmation of strength only above Nifty 25,777 levels.

Bottom-line: Sentiment still fragile, the battle for directional clarity shall continue — and Nifty remains caught in a narrow range, wavering with wild swing.

GIFT Nifty is pointing to solid rebound from Tuesday’s sell-off and hopefully, Dalal Street shall post across-the-board gains this Thursday.

Nifty bulls will aim to re-embrace the long-term bullish structural promise of emerging markets like India. The 4-positive catalysts:

1) Hopes of favourable outcome from the U.S.–India trade negotiations
2) In the US, the Supreme Court seemed to express doubt about the arguments underpinning President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.
3) Improving leads from Wall Street.
4) The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution appears to stay for long.

Bottom-line: Sentiment still fragile, the battle for directional clarity shall continue — and Nifty remains caught in a narrow range, wavering with wild swing.

Gift Nifty signals a cautious start to Tuesday’s trading indicating Nifty shall swing between small gains and losses.

Our Call of the Day: Nifty may drift and struggle for clear direction, with sentiment tempered by renewed FII outflows — overseas investors were net sellers on Monday to the tune of ₹1,884 crore.

Bottom Line: A choppy, range-bound session appears likely as investors weigh the U.S. Fed’s ambiguity on a December rate cut, the ongoing U.S.–India trade negotiations, and the still-muted Q2 earnings season back home.

Long Story Short: Nifty for now, may continue to search for firm footing, but that said, the next decisive up move only above 25927 mark.
