From Banking Boost to Bharat Forge’s Big Win – India Inc. Makes Bold Moves

Market Recap: A Look Back at Yesterday

Global markets remained under pressure as escalating trade tensions, driven by President Trump's announcement of new 25% auto tariffs, weighed on investor sentiment. US indices ended in the red, with the Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and S&P 500 all slipping amid weakness in the energy sector. While US GDP growth came in slightly above expectations at 2.4%, it wasn’t enough to lift the mood.

Asian markets mirrored the US weakness, with the Nikkei and South Korean indices declining sharply. Meanwhile, Indian equities bucked the global trend, with Nifty and Sensex rebounding strongly on the monthly expiry day, supported by sectoral rotation and positive FII flows.

Indian Markets: What to Expect

Gift Nifty Outlook

Gift Nifty suggests a flat to negative opening for the Indian markets and is likely to trade in the broad range of 23,200 - 23,750.

Previous Session Performance

Benchmark indices fell sharply, dropping by triple digits and ending their 7-day winning streak as traders booked profits at key resistance levels ahead of the monthly F&O expiry.

  • Sensex: Down 728.69 points (-0.93%) at 77,288.50.

  • Nifty 50: Down 181.80 points (-0.77%) at 23,486.85.

Sectoral Performance

  • Nifty Auto remained strong for most of the session but lost momentum and closed flat.

  • All other 12 sector indices ended in the red, with Nifty Bank, PSU Bank, Oil & Gas, and Pharma taking the biggest hits, each dropping over 1%.

  • Nifty IT fell 0.98%.

  • FMCG, Energy, Infra, and Metal also declined, though less severely.

  • Broader markets maintained a bearish undertone:

The ongoing market consolidation is fueled by domestic institutional outflows, fiscal year-end adjustments, and key macro events, including the April 2nd tariff deadline and the RBI policy announcement.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook

The index ended its seven-session winning streak and closed lower on Wednesday ahead of the monthly expiry session. It has formed a bear candle, signaling consolidation with a corrective bias after a recent sharp up-move.

We expect the index to consolidate within 23,850-23,200, working off the overbought condition developed after the recent 1,900-point rally in just 15 sessions. Support is placed at 23,200 levels.

Trading Strategy:

  • The overall trend remains positive. The current dip should be viewed as a buying opportunity in quality stocks in a staggered manner.

  • Upside target: 24,100-24,200 levels in the coming sessions.

  • These levels coincide with the January 2025 high and the 50% retracement of the previous decline (26,277-21,965).

Intraday Levels for Nifty

  • Resistance: 23,620 & 23,750

  • Support: 23,380 & 23,250

Intraday Levels for Bank Nifty

  • Resistance: 51,480 & 51,700

  • Support: 50,900 & 50,620

Global and Asian Markets

US Markets

US benchmark equity indices closed lower Thursday as markets analyzed the impact of President Donald Trump's new auto tariffs and intensifying trade tensions.

  • Nasdaq Composite: Down 0.5% to 17,804

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average: Down 0.4% to 42,299.7

  • S&P 500: Down 0.3% to 5,693.3

Sectoral Performance:

  • Biggest drop: Energy

  • Gainers: Consumer staples

Asian Markets

Asian shares mostly traded in the red on Friday, tracking US losses as trade war fears outweighed stronger-than-expected US growth data.

  • Nikkei 225: Down 1.7%, falling below 37,200

  • Topix Index: Down 1.6% to 2,770, hitting a two-week low
