US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 extended its winning streak to six days, as strong labour market and retail sales data ease fears of an economic downturn, boosting investor confidence and lifting the market.

  2. Sector-Specific Movements:

    • Wall Street indexes hit two-week highs on Thursday, resuming their climb after recent volatility.

    • The S&P 500 surged 1.6% to 5,543.22 points, the NASDAQ Composite jumped 2.3% to 17,591.72 points, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.4% to 40,563.06 points.

  3. Economic Indicators:

    • US retail sales in July exceeded expectations, signalling strong consumer spending and easing concerns about an imminent recession in the world's largest economy.

    • Additionally, the number of Americans filing new unemployment claims fell last week, indicating a gradual softening of the labour market.

    • This week's softer CPI and producer price index readings suggest that inflation is cooling, raising hopes for an interest rate cut in September.

    • Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to provide more insights on a possible rate cut during the Jackson Hole Symposium next week.

Other Asset Classes

  1. Treasury Yields:

    • US Treasury yields climbed on Thursday after stronger-than-expected July retail sales data. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose nearly 10 basis points to 3.921%.

  2. Currency:

    • The dollar index rose 0.42% to 103.03, pulling away from the recent eight-month low of 102.15, as US economic data reduced recession fears and dampened expectations for aggressive interest rate cuts.

  3. Commodities:

    • US crude oil futures rebounded over 1% on Thursday, closing above $78 per barrel, as easing recession fears ended a two-day losing streak. Brent's October contract rose 1.6% to $81.04 per barrel.

    • Gold prices trimmed gains on Thursday as the dollar and Treasury yields rose following stronger-than-expected US economic data, which could impact the size of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts. Spot gold edged up 0.3% to $2,455.79.

Asian Markets

  1. General Trends:

    • Asia-Pacific markets rose on Friday, set to close the week higher, tracking Wall Street's gains after fresh U.S. economic data eased recession fears.

India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

    • Gift Nifty indicates a gap-up opening for the Indian market amid strong global cues. After a strong start, the Nifty is expected to trade positively in the 24,180-24,480 range.

  2. Market in Previous Session:

    • On Wednesday, benchmark indices traded in a narrow range, fluctuating between positive and negative territory, and ended almost flat.

    • The Nifty closed 4 points higher at 24,143, while the Bank Nifty dropped by 0.2% to 49,727.

    • The broader market underperformed, with the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices closing down by 0.54% and 0.58%, respectively.

  3. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index is expected to retest its 20-day EMA and the upper band of recent consolidation near 24,400.

    • A breakout above this level could reverse the corrective trend of the last two weeks, leading to an upside towards 24,700-24,800 next week.

    • Failure to break out may result in continued consolidation between 24,400 and 23,900.

    • The index has support at 23,900-24,000, which aligns with last week’s low and the 50-day EMA.

  4. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,370, followed by 24,490 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,130, followed by 24,050.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 50,310, followed by 50,630, while downside support is found at 49,650, followed by 49,410.

    • Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 22,790, followed by 22,950, while downside support is found at 22,520, followed by 22,410.
