US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
Wall Street closed flat on Friday, hovering near the previous session's record-high close for the Dow and S&P 500, while the dollar firmed as investors digested the Federal Reserve's 50-basis-point cut midweek that started a rate-reducing cycle.
Days after the rate cut, two Fed governors aired opposing views, opening a new tab over prospects for inflation, underlining the scale of debate over a move Chair Jerome Powell positioned as safeguarding a resilient economy rather than an emergency response to weaker jobs data.
In the coming week, a string of Fed officials and members of the rate-setting committee are set to speak. Most notable Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday.
Sector-Specific Movements:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 0.09%, to 42,063.36, the S&P 500 ended down 0.19%, to 5,702.55 and the Nasdaq Composite rounded out the week 0.36% lower, at 17,948.32.
Economic Indicators:
The pace of the Fed’s easing cycle is also expected to depend largely on the U.S. economy.
PCE price index data- the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge- is due this Friday.
US Q2 GDP figures are also due on Thursday.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
U.S. Treasury bond yields ended the week higher even after the Federal Reserve’s outsized rate cut earlier in the week. The 10-year Treasury yield was last down around 1 basis point at 3.732%.
Currency:
The dollar gained ground after suffering losses earlier in the week. The index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, was up 0.12% to 100.79.
Commodities:
Commodities also held on to their weekly gains. Gold touched a record high at $2,614 an ounce.
Brent futures settled down 0.52%, at $74.49 a barrel. U.S. WTI crude futures settled down 0.4%, to $71.92.
Two major oil benchmarks ended lower on the day, but more than 4% higher on the week.
Asian Markets
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets opened lower Monday as investors assessed monetary policy decisions from Japan and China on Friday after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s sharp rate cut sent markets higher last week.
Markets in Japan were closed Monday for a public holiday.
Specific Index Performance:
In South Korea, the Kospi dipped 0.15% while the small-cap Kosdaq was little changed.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures were marginally lower by 100 points.
India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty suggests a positive opening for the Indian market amid mixed global cues. We expect the Nifty spot to post a strong Friday's up move to consolidate with high volatility in the range of 25950-25650.
Market in Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices extended gains for the second consecutive session to hit fresh all-time highs amid positive global cues and buying across the sectors.
At close, the Sensex was up 1,359.51 points or 1.63% at 84,544.31, and the Nifty was up 375.20 points or 1.48% at 25,791. On September 20, BSE Sensex and Nifty hit fresh highs of 84,694.46 and 25,849.25, respectively.
All the sectoral indices ended in the green with auto, bank, capital goods, healthcare, FMCG, power, telecom, metal and realty rising 1% to 3%.
The India VIX, which measures the implied volatility of Nifty 50 options, was up 2.25% to 12.75.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index has formed a strong bull candle with a higher high and higher low in the daily chart signalling the continuation of the uptrend. The index on expected lines rallied higher and tested our short-term target area of 25800.
Index is currently placed near the upper band of the rising channel signaling some consolidation is likely in the range of 26000-25200 amid stock specific action. The volatility can't be ruled out given the monthly expiry of September Futures & Options contracts due next week.
Weekly stochastic is also approaching overbought territory with a reading of 85 highlighting consolidation likely in coming week. Key support is placed at 25200-25300 being the confluence of the 20 days EMA and the lower band of the rising channel.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,890 followed by 26,000 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,680, followed by 25,520.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 54,050, followed by 54,330, while downside support is found at 53,570, followed by 53,350.
Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 24,910, followed by 25,020, while downside support is found at 24,680, followed by 24,550.

The highest call OI is positioned at 26000 followed by the 26500 level, whereas the highest put OI is positioned at 25000 followed by the 25500 level.
Put writers were active below 25700 indicating stiff support at lower levels. If 25700 is broken, Nifty can march towards 25500.
