Asian Markets
General Trends:

Specific Index Performance:
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 0.4%, up for a second session, led by gains in Japan and South Korea.
The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.1% to around 38,510, while the broader Topix Index climbed 0.5% to 2,695 on Wednesday, snapping a four-day losing streak.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index gained 0.4% to surpass 8,260 on Wednesday, marking its second consecutive day of rise.

India Market Outlook
Market in Previous Session:
On January 14, Indian equity indices ended on a positive note, with the Nifty closing near 23,150.
The Sensex climbed 169.62 points (0.22%) to finish at 76,499.63, while the Nifty advanced 90.10 points (0.39%) to settle at 23,176.05.
A recovery in global markets and a decline in domestic CPI inflation brought relief to the broader indices.
This might give the RBI some room for manoeuvre in its next policy meeting, but the rise in oil prices and higher 10-year bond yields will be closely monitored.
On the sectoral front, except IT and FMCG, all other sectoral indices ended in the green.
The midcap and small-cap indices each gained close to 2%.
TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 15
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index formed a Doji candle which remained enclosed inside previous session price range signaling consolidation after a sharp decline of the last 1 week.
The progression of the Q3FY25 earnings season will keep the market stock specific. The recent significant rises in oil prices, the dollar index, and U.S. bond yields indicate that market volatility is likely to stay high as potential policy shifts under the Trump administration approach.
Index need to start forming higher highs and higher lows on a sustained basis on the daily chart to signal a pause in the current downtrend.
The daily, weekly oscillators and market breadth indicators have approached oversold territory. Hence some base formation is likely in the broad range of 22,800-23,600.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 23,270 followed by 23,390 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 23,050, followed by 22,910.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 49,100, followed by 49,430, while downside support is found at 48,350, followed by 47,900.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
As anticipated, a pullback rally was observed yesterday.
The weekly Nifty option chain indicates a trading range of 23,000 to 23,500, with the highest addition of put open interest (OI) seen at the 23,200 level, making it a critical point to watch.
A sustained move below 23,000 could signal a resumption of the bearish trend.
Meanwhile, the put-call ratio (PCR) improved by 0.14 points, closing at 0.86.
Bank Nifty:
Following a prolonged decline of over 3,000 points, Bank Nifty experienced a relief rally as expected.
The Bank Nifty futures OI decreased by 3%, suggesting marginal short covering.
Across the board, call unwinding was observed, while put writing was noted between the 48,500 and 49,000 levels. However, these developments do not offer a definitive directional cue.
A sustained move above 49,000 could trigger further short covering.
US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
US benchmark equity indexes closed higher on Tuesday as markets assessed the latest producer price report and awaited official data on consumer inflation.
