Other Asset Classes

  1. Treasury Yields:

    • On Tuesday, US Treasury yields dipped slightly as investors weighed inflation and interest rate outlooks after comments from Federal Reserve officials. The 10-year Treasury yield fell over 2 basis points to 4.412%, while the 2-year yield edged down to 4.831%.

  2. Currency:

    • The US dollar rose against the euro on Tuesday after Federal Reserve officials suggested waiting several months to confirm inflation is on track to hit the 2% target before cutting interest rates. The dollar also gained 0.07%, reaching 104.64, against other currencies.

  3. Commodities:

    • Crude oil futures fell on Tuesday due to a lack of market catalysts. US crude and Brent have fluctuated within a $3 range this month after dropping from April highs when fears of a wider Middle East war eased.

    • This morning, Japan's Nikkei is down 0.7%, while South Korea’s Kospi is trading flat.

India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

    • Gift Nifty indicates a flat start due to mixed global signals. The Nifty is likely to continue yesterday's consolidation and trade between 22,430 and 22,630.

  2. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • Benchmark indices traded within a range and closed nearly flat on Tuesday. Nifty began soft, dipped to an intraday low of 22404, but recovered to an intraday high of 22591 before closing marginally higher at 22529, up 0.12%. Bank Nifty fell by 0.31% to 48048.

    • A bull candle with a long upper shadow indicated higher-level profit booking after a strong six-session up move. The daily stochastic is in overbought territory at 94.

    • If Nifty moves above 22600, it could head towards 22800. Otherwise, expect consolidation between 22200-22600. The market direction will be influenced by General Election outcomes, suggesting elevated volatility and a buy-on-dips strategy as the index may test all-time highs soon.

  3. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is situated at 22590, followed by 22650 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22460, followed by 22410.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The 22,500 level is a crucial point for the day, with significant call and put OI accumulation. The highest call OI is at 23,000, followed by 22,800, suggesting a potential move towards 22,800 if the price stays above 22,500.

    • Strong support exists at 22,400 due to substantial put writing. Call writers are adjusting to higher levels, indicating caution about a potential upward move.

    • The put-call ratio dropped to 1.15, and Nifty saw a 1.4% increase in open interest and a 0.3% price rise, signalling a long build-up.

  2. Bank Nifty:

  • The accumulation of call and put OI at the 48,000 level suggests a straddle formation, marking it as a key level for the day. The highest call OI addition at 48,000, followed by 48,200, indicates potential short covering if Bank Nifty sustains above 48,200.

  • Aggressive put OI addition at 48,000 provides strong support, but if the price falls below this level, momentum may be lost.

  • The immediate range for Bank Nifty is 48,000 to 48,500, with a break on either side likely leading to a directional move. A 1.4% increase in open interest and a 0.3% price decline suggest short covering.
