US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 chalked up record closing highs on Friday, with the Nasdaq also in positive territory, as markets were boosted by an earnings-driven jump in Netflix shares and broader gains across technology stocks.
All three major Wall Street benchmarks also comfortably secured a sixth straight weekly gain, their longest weekly winning streak since late 2023.
Sector-Specific Movements:
On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 23.20 points, or 0.40%, to 5,864.67 points, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 115.94 points, or 0.63%, to 18,489.55. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 36.86 points, or 0.09%, at 43,275.91.
The upbeat earnings of financial companies, and broadly positive economic data, have helped sustain the three main indexes' grind upwards in recent days.
The recent winning streak has investors optimistic equities still have further to run. Still, they are mindful that stretched valuations, ahead of the U.S. presidential election and amid rising geopolitical risks, could also mean further choppiness.
3. Economic Indications:
On the economic front, leading indicators for September are due out Monday.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
U.S. Treasury yields fell Friday as investors weighed the latest economic data and its potential effect on U.S. monetary policy. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 2 basis points to 4.079%.
Currency:
The U.S. dollar fell on Friday, taking a breather after five straight days of gains, as risk appetite increased following yet another round of stimulus measures from China that bolstered global equities led by Chinese stocks. The dollar index was down 0.3% at 103.49.
Commodities:
Gold surged above the historic threshold of $ 2,700 per ounce on Friday, powered by escalating tensions in the Middle East, uncertainties around the U.S. elections and relaxed monetary policy expectations that pushed the metal into uncharted territory. Spot gold was up 1% at $2,720.05 per ounce.
Oil futures declined on Friday, posting a weekly drop of more than 7%, after data showed China’s economic growth slowed and investors digested a mixed Middle East outlook.

India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty suggests a flat to marginal negative opening for the Indian market amid mixed global cues. Nifty spot post a flat opening is likely to consolidate in the range of 25000-24700.
Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark equity indices snapped the three-day losing streak, closing Friday’s session on a higher note. Nifty started the session on a soft note but managed to recover as the session progressed and closed near the high.
The BSE Sensex climbed 218.14 points to close at 81,224.75, rebounding over 800 points from its intraday low of 80,409.25. The NSE Nifty was up by 104.20 points, closing at 24,854.05.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index managed to hold above the lower band of the last 10-session range (24700) on a closing basis and witnessed a strong rebound to close above 24850 on Friday’s session.
Nifty snapped its three-session decline and formed a bull candle around the lower band of the last two weeks range (24700-25250). We expect the index to extend the consolidation. Hence, a move above Friday’s high (24886) will open upside towards 25100 & 25250 levels in the coming sessions.
Immediate support is at 24700. only a closing below the same can lead to extension of current decline towards 24350 levels in the coming sessions being the confluence of 100 days EMA and the 80% retracement of the previous up move (23893-26277).

Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,980 followed by 25,100 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,700, followed by 24,570.
