    • The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3% to 17,127.7. 

    • Healthcare led the decliners among sectors, while consumer discretionary posted the biggest gains.

  3. Economic Indicators:

  3. Commodities:

    • West Texas Intermediate crude oil was little changed at $69.18 a barrel Thursday. 

    • Brent crude futures settled at $72.7 per barrel, remaining near a 14-month low, as concerns about slowing demand in the U.S. and China outweighed.

    • Gold increased 0.8% to $2,546 per troy ounce, while silver gained 2% to $29.14 per ounce.

Asian Markets

India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

    • Gift Nifty suggests a gap down opening of 100 points for the Indian markets. 

    • Nifty spot after a negative opening is likely to consolidate in the broad range of 24,950 - 25,300

  2. Market in Previous Session:

    • The Nifty 50 index extended its losing streak for the second consecutive session on September 5, with the index dropping below 25,150 ahead of upcoming US economic data.

    • Although the index opened on a positive note, it gradually lost all gains as the session progressed, ending in the red and closing near the day's low. By the close, Nifty had fallen by 53.60 points, or 0.2%, to 25,145.10, and Sensex was down by 0.18%, or 151 points closing at 82,201.

    • On the sectoral front, selling was seen in auto, energy, and realty, while buying was seen in the bank, metal, IT, and media.

    • The broader indices outperformed and hit a record high in yesterday's session. Nifty midcap 100 index rose 0.%, and Nifty small-cap 100 index added 1%.

  3. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index has been consolidating within a narrow range of 25,080 to 25,350. We anticipate this consolidation to persist in the upcoming trading sessions. A break below 25,080 could lead to a further correction towards the 24,800–24,900 range, while a move beyond 25,350 may spark a rally, potentially reaching new all-time highs.

    • Structurally, such a retracement of the rally is a typical occurrence in a bull market and presents an opportunity for incremental buying. This movement indicates that the bulls are still holding their ground, though consolidation may persist if global pressures continue to build.

  4. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,350 followed by 25,420 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,080, followed by 25,000.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 51,750, followed by 51,900, while downside support is found at 51,250, followed by 51,080.

    • Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 23,950, followed by 24,070, while downside support is found at 23,540, followed by 23,460.
