Other Asset Classes

  1. Treasury Yields: 

    • U.S. Treasury yields were slightly lower on Thursday. The 10-year Treasury yield slipped 3.2 basis points to 4.503%.

  2. Currency: 

    • The U.S. dollar dropped against major currencies on Thursday, as investors took a step back and assessed President Donald Trump’s latest tariff plans. It is currently placed at 106.40 levels.

  3. Commodities:

    • Gold prices surged to a record high on Thursday, as fears of a global trade war sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats fueled safe-haven demand for the precious metal. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $2,936.38 an ounce.

    • Oil prices rose for a three-day gain on Thursday after data showed gasoline and distillate draw down in the U.S. while worries about supply disruptions in Russia supported prices. Brent futures rose 0.58%, to close at $76.48 a barrel. 


Asian Markets

  1. General Trends:

    • Japanese consumer price index inflation grew more than expected in January amid robust consumer spending, pointing to a hawkish outlook for the Bank of Japan in its plans for more interest rate hikes. 

  2. Specific Index Performance:

    • Headline national CPI surged to a two-year high of 4.0% year-on-year in January from 3.6% in the prior month, government data showed on Friday.

    • Friday’s data comes just days after stronger-than-expected gross domestic product data for the fourth quarter, which showed continued resilience in the Japanese economy. Strength in the economy and sticky inflation give the BOJ more headroom to keep raising interest rates.

    • In today’s morning trade, the Asian Market is trading with corrective bias with Nikkei and Kospi both down by 0.4%.


India Market Outlook

  1. Market in Previous Session:

    • India's benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, closed marginally lower for the third straight session on February 20, pressured by a sell-off in large cap private bank stocks. After a subdued opening, the market staged an early recovery, reclaiming lost ground before settling into a range-bound consolidation for the remainder of the session. Weak global sentiment, trade policy uncertainties, and concerns over subdued earnings growth contributed to the risk aversion, keeping investors on the sidelines. At close, the Sensex was down 203 points or 0.27 percent at 75,735.96, while the Nifty slipped 19.75 points, or 0.09 percent to 22,913.15.

    • On the sectoral front, auto, metal, oil & gas, media, power, realty, and PSU banks logged gains of 1-2%, reflecting sectoral strength, while the banking index underperformed, slipping 0.5% amid profit booking.

    • Meanwhile, the broader indices sustained their upward momentum, rallying for another session with gains of approximately 1.5%, signaling continued strength in the midcap and small-cap segments.


TRADE SETUP FOR FEB 21

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index has formed a small bull candle signaling a continuation of consolidation for the fourth consecutive session.

    • Over the past few days, Nifty has been trading within a broad range of 22,700–23,050. During this consolidation phase, dips toward 22,800–22,700 should be viewed as buying opportunities. A breakout above 23,050 would pave the way for further upside, towards the 20-day EMA placed around 23,250 levels.

    • Volatility remains at elevated levels due to concerns surrounding US tariff-related developments. Key resistance on the higher side is placed at 23,250 levels, sustaining below the same will keep the short-term bias down, being the confluence of the 20-day EMA and 50% retracement of the recent decline (23807-22725).

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 23,010 followed by 23,100 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22,810, followed by 22,720.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 49,790, followed by 49,830, while downside support is found at 49,010, followed by 48,740.


Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • The highest call and put OI is positioned at 23000 indicating a straddle formation and making it a trend-deciding level for the index. If it breaks above 23000, Nifty can rally towards 23500. On the other hand, supports are placed at 22500 levels.

    • According to option chain analysis, a broader range for Nifty is 22500 and 23500. 

    • The Nifty put-call ratio is now positioned at 0.90.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • The highest call OI is positioned at 51000 followed by the 52000 level, whereas the highest put OI is positioned at 47000 followed by 46000 level. Straddle formation was seen at 49500 indicating a trend deciding level for the index.

    • In yesterday's session, heavy put writing was seen below 48500 making it a crucial support. A move below 48500 can take the index towards 47500 levels. Call OI is positioned at 49500 making it a crucial resistance.

    • According to option chain analysis, an immediate range for Bank Nifty is 48500 and 51000.

    • The Bank Nifty put-call ratio is now positioned at 0.79.


US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 closed lower on Thursday after disappointing sales outlook from big-box retailer Walmart raised concerns about the consumer and underlying economic strength. 

  2. Sector-Specific Movements:

    • The benchmark S&P 500 fell 0.4%, the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5% and the 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped by 450 points or 1%.

    • Walmart fell more than 6% after unveiling an outlook for sales in its 2026 fiscal year that were below forecasts, in a potential sign that the big-box retailer may feel the impact of fading optimism among inflation-hit consumers. 

  3. Economic Indicators:

  • Risk appetite was also dented by a string of Fed officials keeping up their warnings that interest rates will remain steady in the near-term. The minutes of the Fed’s January meeting, released earlier this week, showed policymakers remained concerned over sticky inflation and the inflationary impact of Trump’s trade policies.
