Global Market Recap

Last week, global markets showed optimism as Wall Street rallied on strong bank earnings and hopes of tariff relief, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closing higher.

President Trump hinted at exempting automakers from tariffs, even as he proposed levies on pharmaceuticals.

Fed officials, including Governor Waller, signaled openness to rate cuts if tariffs slow growth, with more insights expected from Fed Chair Powell midweek.

Meanwhile, treasury yields dropped, the US dollar weakened, and gold corrected after hitting record highs.

Asian markets opened higher on tech gains, and Gift Nifty hinted at a positive start for Indian markets.

Indian Market Snapshot

Back home, the Sensex and Nifty rebounded sharply in the previous session amid global relief, with substantial gains across all sectors—especially metals and small caps.

The Nifty is expected to remain bullish in the short term if it sustains above key resistance levels, though volatility could persist due to earnings season and tariff-related developments.

On the derivatives front, options data shows strong support, while Bank Nifty sees firm support at around 51,000.

Indian Markets Today

Gift Nifty suggests a gap-up opening for the Indian market amid firm global cues.

Post a strong opening; we expect the Nifty spot in the intraday session to trade in the range of 23,000–23,400.

Market Recap—Previous Session

Markets witnessed a strong rebound on Friday’s session, with benchmark indices surging close to 2%, driven by across-the-board accumulation.

The positive momentum was triggered by a global relief rally after US President Donald Trump temporarily suspended reciprocal tariffs for 90 days on all nations except China, although the existing 10% base tariffs will continue to be enforced.

At close, the Sensex was up 1,310 points, or 1.77%, at 75,157.26, and the Nifty was up 429 points, or 1.92%, at 22,828.55.

All sectoral indices closed firmly in the green, reflecting broad-based bullish sentiment.

The Metal pack outperformed with a stellar 4% surge, while Auto, Oil & Gas, Power, PSU, Telecom, and Pharma sectors clocked solid gains of around 2% each, signaling robust sectoral rotation and risk-on appetite across the board.

The BSE Midcap index posted a healthy uptick of 1.8%, while the small-cap index outshone it with a sharp 3% rally, indicating strong participation from the broader market and heightened investor appetite for high-beta counters.

Nifty Outlook—Short-Term

The index formed a bull candle with a bullish gap below its base (22,400–22,696), signaling a strong pullback from the oversold territory.

Immediate bias remains positive above Friday’s gap area.

The index is likely to open a gap in today’s session amid positive global cues.

We expect Nifty to sustain above last week’s high (22,923) and head towards 23,360 and 23,560 in the coming truncated week, given the placement of the 200-day EMA and the current month’s high.

Volatility is expected to remain elevated amid tariff-related developments and the progress of the Q4 earnings season.

Failure to sustain above last week’s high (22,923) will signal consolidation in the range of 22,400–22,920.

Intraday Levels—Nifty

  • Resistance: 23,270 & 22,400

  • Support: 22,820 & 22,750

Intraday Levels – Bank Nifty

  • Resistance: 51,710 & 51,980

  • Support: 51,000 & 50,840

Global and Asian Markets

The S&P 500 closed higher on Monday as investors digested the latest signs of potential further tariff reprieve ahead and mostly better-than-expected Wall Street bank earnings.

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 312 points, or 0.8%

  • The S&P 500 index climbed 0.8%

  • The NASDAQ Composite rose 0.6%

President Donald Trump said he would impose tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals in the not-too-distant future, though he also signaled that there could be a reprieve for automakers, suggesting he may temporarily exempt the auto industry from the 25% tariffs imposed last month.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday if the impact of tariffs threatens a deep economic slowdown, then he would back a sooner rate cut even if it is accompanied by a jump in inflation.

Several Federal Reserve officials are also set to speak this week, most notably Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday.

Focus is squarely on the central bank’s plans for interest rates amid heightened uncertainty over Trump’s tariffs and a potential U.S. recession.
