US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
The Dow rose and closed at a record high on Monday as investors cheered President-elect Donald Trump nominating prominent investor Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary.
Bessent’s nomination helped clear a major point of uncertainty for markets, given that the Treasury Secretary role is one of the most influential in the cabinet for economic and trade regulations.
Sector-Specific Movements:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was an outperformer among its peers, rising 1% to a record high of 44,746.57 points on Monday. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 5,987.37 points, while the NASDAQ Composite rose 0.3% to 19,054.89 points.
Broader market sentiment was also boosted by reports that Israel was close to reaching a ceasefire with military group Hezbollah in Lebanon, potentially marking some deescalation in the long-running Middle East conflict.
The focus this week is squarely on upcoming PCE price index data, which is the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge due on Wednesday.
President-elect Donald Trump said in a social media post this morning that he will impose an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, citing a lack of progress on China’s part towards curbing the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S. Additionally, Trump also said he will impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico over inflows of allegedly illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. through open borders with the two countries.
Economic Indicators:
Trump’s tariff threats ramped up concerns over a renewed global trade war between the world’s biggest economies- a trend seen through much of his first term. Such a scenario bodes poorly for global trade, especially for countries with heavy trade exposure to the U.S.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
The dollar declined from two-year highs on Monday, tracking a sharp decline in U.S. Treasury yields.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries fell more than 11 basis points to below 4.3%.
Currency:
The dollar index fell 0.68% to 106.83, down more than 1% from its two-year high of 108.09 on Friday.
Commodities:
Gold prices plunged about 3% on Monday, breaking a five-session up move as reports of Israel nearing a ceasefire with Hezbollah, coupled with Trump’s nomination of Scott Bessent as the U.S. Treasury Secretary soured the precious metal’s safe-haven appeal. Spot gold fell 3.4% to $2,619.43 per ounce.
Oil prices fell more than 2% on Monday. Brent crude futures fell 2.87%, to close at $73.01 a barrel.
Asian Markets
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets slid Tuesday, failing to track gains on Wall Street.
Specific Index Performance:
Japan’s Nikkei 225 shed 1.2%, while the Topix lost 0.84%.
The Kospi slid 0.70% in its first hour of trade.
India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty suggests a soft opening for the Indian market amid weak Asian cues. The nifty spot is likely to consolidate in the range 24000-24400.
Market in Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices extended gains for the second session in a row on Monday. Nifty started the session on a positive note as BJP’s strong performance in the Maharashtra elections boosted confidence and brought renewed focus on infra development. However, profit booking at higher levels saw the index give up some of its gains and closed the session higher by 1.3%.
On Monday’s session, the Sensex was up 992.74 points or 1.25% at 80,109.85, and the Nifty was up 314.60 points or 1.32% at 24,221.90. About 2541 shares advanced,and 1347 shares declined.
All sectoral indices finished in the green, with PSU Bank, Financials, Energy, Realty and Pharma sectors registering gains of 4%-1%.
Bank Nifty outperformed with the index closing higher by 2.1% at 52207. The broader market performed in tandem with the benchmark index with Nifty Midcap & Small cap closing higher by 1.7% and 2.1% respectively.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The Index has formed a Doji candle with a higher high and higher low and a bullish gap below its base (23956-24135). Index in the process closed above the 20 days EMA signaling extension of the pullback for second session in a row.
We believe dips in the coming sessions should be used as a buying opportunity. Index has immediate support at 24,000-23,700 being the lower band of the Monday’s gap area and recent trendline breakout area. Immediate bias remains positive above the same.
We expect the index to extend pullback and head higher towards 24400-24500 levels in the coming sessions being the confluence of the 50 days EMA and the 38.2% retracement of the entire decline (26277-23263).
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,350 followed by 24,430 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,110, followed by 24,000.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 52,430, followed by 52,700, while downside support is found at 51,850, followed by 51,520.
