    • Brent crude also declined in today's morning trade by 1% on fear of a slowdown in the Global economy as a result of a trade war,  which will lead to less demand for crude oil.

Asian Markets

    • Asia-Pacific markets plunged on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed hefty reciprocal tariffs on over 180 countries and territories - several of which are in the region.

  2. Specific Index Performance:

India Market Outlook

  1. Market in Previous Session:

    • Indian equity indices wrapped up the session on a strong note on April 2, with Nifty closing above the 23,300 mark. At close, the Sensex was up 593 points or 0.78% at 76,617.44, and the Nifty was up 166 points or 0.72% at 23,332.35.

    • All sectoral indices closed in the green, with FMCG, Consumer Durables, and Realty leading the charge, posting gains of 1-3%.

    • Meanwhile, the BSE Midcap and Small-cap indices exhibited robust momentum, climbing nearly 1% each.

    • Indian markets are poised to respond to the reciprocal tariffs and the global market reaction to the same, which could set the tone for investor sentiment. Moreover, the impending weekly derivatives expiry is likely to inject additional volatility into the trading landscape. 

    • Post tariff-related volatility, investor focus will shift towards the much-anticipated Q4 earnings season and the pivotal RBI monetary policy announcement next week—both poised to act as critical drivers of market trajectory.


TRADE SETUP FOR APR 03

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • Index snapped its two-session decline and closed above 23,300 levels. In the process ,it has formed a bull candle that remained enclosed inside pthe revious session price range signaling consolidation ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff deadline.

    • Index has already taken 6 sessions to retrace just 50% of its preceding six sessions up move (22,353-23,869). A shallow retracement signals overall positive price structure. We believe the current breather should be used as a buying opportunity in quality stocks in a staggered manner.

    • Nifty has key supports around 22,700-23,000 levels, we expect the index to hold above the same in the current volatility and extend last 6 sessions' consolidation in the range of 23,000-23,800.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 23,340 followed by 23,450 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22,950, followed by 22,800.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 51,350, followed by 51,500, while downside support is found at 50,300, followed by 50,000.
