US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 closed Friday on a positive note, driven by tech stocks, as the market continued to recover after a major sell-off earlier in the week when fears of a looming recession dominated investor sentiment.
Sector-Specific Movements:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 51 points, or 0.1%, while the S&P 500 climbed 0.5%, and the NASDAQ Composite gained 0.5%.
For the week, the broad market index was down just 0.04%.
On Friday, it briefly turned positive before giving up some of its gains.
Meanwhile, the Dow and NASDAQ ended the week lower by 0.6% and 0.18%, respectively.
Economic Indicators:
Investors have been buying the dip, confident that another crisis or recession isn't on the horizon.
The week's earlier losses were more related to hedge funds unwinding a long-held position in the Japanese yen than to any fundamental economic threats.
This week's focus is on the consumer price index inflation data, due Wednesday, for insights into the economy and inflation trends.
The reading is expected to show a slight cooling in July compared to the previous month, which could boost optimism for lower interest rates.
July retail sales data is also due out on Thursday.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
US Treasury yields fell on Friday as investors continued to evaluate the state of the economy after positive labour data lifted sentiment. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was down about 6 basis points to 3.94%.
Currency:
The dollar pulled back from a one-week high against major currencies on Friday, capping off a volatile week as traders weighed a drop in US jobless claims and the potential for an economic downturn. The dollar index dipped 0.203% to 103.07.
Commodities:
US crude oil prices rose more than 4% last week as recession fears eased, and concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East that could disrupt production and transportation loomed. Brent's October contract settled at $79.66 per barrel.
Gold prices remained steady on Friday after a sharp rise the day before, supported by a dip in the US Treasury yields. Investors are increasingly confident that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates in September. Spot gold edged down 0.1% to $2,422.99 per ounce.
Asian Markets
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets opened higher on Monday following a roller-coaster week marked by steep sell-offs and a sharp recovery, particularly in Japanese stocks.
On Monday, traders in Asia will be watching for inflation and industrial output data from India, due after market hours.
Specific Index Performance:
South Korea's Kospi opened up 1.20%, while the small-cap Kosdaq gained 1.42%.
Meanwhile, Japan's markets were closed for a holiday.
India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty indicates a soft opening for the Indian market amid mixed global cues. The Nifty is likely to consolidate in a broad range of 24,200 to 24,500 in today's session.
Market in Previous Session:
The benchmark indices declined for the second consecutive week due to weak global cues, with Nifty falling by 1.42% to 24,367 after touching an intra-week low of 23,893.
Bank Nifty also faced a downturn, closing 1.69% lower at 50,484.
The broader market followed suit, with declines of 1.28% and 2.08%, reflecting a generally weak market sentiment.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty formed a bullish hammer-like candle, with a small real body and a long lower shadow, indicating buying interest near the 50-day EMA at 23,998.
The index is expected to consolidate between 24,000 and 24,800 in the upcoming week, driven by stock-specific movements as the Q1FY25 earnings season wraps up.
A "buy on dips" strategy is recommended, with buying opportunities around 24,200-24,000, targeting a rise towards the gap-down area at 24,800.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,430, followed by 24,500 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,270, followed by 24,200.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 50,700, followed by 50,890, while downside support is found at 50,200, followed by 50,010.
Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 23,070, followed by 23,180, while downside support is found at 22,860, followed by 22,770.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The highest put OI is at 24,000, followed by 23,500, indicating strong support levels.
On the other hand, the highest call OI is at 25,000 and 25,200, marking strong resistance.
There’s a significant call OI addition above 24,600, which suggests a tough resistance at higher levels.
If Nifty sustains above 24,400, it could move towards 24,600. Immediate support lies at 24,000, with resistance at 25,000.
The put-call ratio has risen by 0.05 to 1.09, signalling a moderately bullish sentiment.
Bank Nifty:
The highest put OI concentration is at 50,000, with the highest call OI at 52,000, setting key support and resistance levels.
Immediate resistance is at 51,000, with notable call OI addition at 50,600.
Strong put OI addition at 50,500 suggests a significant support level.
If the index breaks below 50,500, it could decline to 50,000, but sustaining above this level could push it to 51,000.
The Bank Nifty put-call ratio increased by 0.04 to 0.90, indicating a slightly bearish outlook.
