US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
US stocks surged on Tuesday as more signs of easing inflation boosted hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut as early as next month, leading to a drop in Treasury yields.
Sector-Specific Movements:
The S&P 500 climbed 1.7% to 5,434.43 points, the NASDAQ Composite jumped 2.4% to 17,183.95 points, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1% to 39,765.64 points on Tuesday.
Investors snapped up discounted technology stocks, particularly in internet and chipmaking firms, following mixed earnings reports that caused significant losses in recent weeks. The potential for lower rates also fueled buying in economically sensitive sectors.
Economic Indicators:
Tuesday's data showed the producer price index rose just 0.1% in July, lower than the 0.2% economists expected. On an annual basis, it increased to 2.2%, slightly below the 2.3% forecast.
Attention is now focused on the consumer price index inflation data, set to be released on Wednesday.
The upcoming inflation data is expected to show a slight easing in July, which, along with Tuesday's softer producer price index, could pave the way for a deeper rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
Treasury yields fell on Tuesday after a key inflation measure came in lower than anticipated. The yield on the 10-year Treasury declined by about 5.7 basis points to 3.852%.
Currency:
The US dollar weakened after data revealed that producer prices rose less than expected in July. The dollar index dropped to 102.73.
Commodities:
US crude oil prices dropped 2% on Tuesday as concerns over slowing global demand outweighed tensions between Iran and Israel. The market is now refocusing on fundamentals after the International Energy Agency and OPEC highlighted weaker consumption in China this week.
Gold prices held steady near their July record high on Tuesday, as both the dollar and Treasury yields edged lower. Spot gold prices dipped about 0.2% to $2,467.12 per ounce due to some profit-taking.
Asian Markets
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets continued to rise on Wednesday after US producer prices for July came in below expectations.
Specific Index Performance:
Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 0.98%, with the Topix gaining 0.72%.
South Korea's Kospi increased by 1.1%, while the Kosdaq, focused on small-cap stocks, jumped 1.4%.
India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty indicates a positive opening for the Indian market, supported by strong global cues. We expect Nifty to open higher and trade within a range of 24,400 to 24,000.
Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark indices declined for the second session as mixed macroeconomic data showed CPI near a 5-year low in July and IIP growing at 4.2% in June.
Nifty closed down by 0.85% at 24,139, with selling pressure intensifying.
Bank Nifty also dropped sharply by 1.48% to 49,831, led by HDFC Bank.
All sectoral indices, including bank, power, oil & gas, metal, media, and telecom, fell by over 1%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty failed to move above the 20-day EMA at 24,380, experiencing a sharp decline.
The index has support at 23,900-24,000, aligning with last week’s low and the 50-day EMA.
Holding above this range may lead to consolidation between 23,900 and 24,400.
However, only a close above 24,400 could trigger further upside toward 24,800 in the coming weeks.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,290, followed by 24,400 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,110, followed by 24,000.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 50,310, followed by 50,630, while downside support is found at 49,600, followed by 49,410.
Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 22,740, followed by 22,880, while downside support is found at 22,510, followed by 22,380.
Derivative Market Analysis

The highest OI for puts is at 23,500, followed by 24,000, while for calls, it is at 25,000 and 24,500.
