Sun Pharma's $355M Acquisition & Syngene's $56M Investment Boost Market Buzz

BEL’s Rs577-Cr Boost & Biocon’s U.S. Expansion

Global markets witnessed a sharp sell-off on Monday as US indices and Treasury yields tumbled following former President Donald Trump's comments hinting at a potential recession in 2025. The Nasdaq experienced a steep 4% decline—its worst drop since 2022—while the S&P 500 fell 2.7% and the Dow Jones slipped 2.1%. Tech stocks led the losses, contributing to the overall market downturn. Treasury yields also took a hit, with the 10-year yield settling at 4.225%.

Nifty Outlook: Short-Term Trends

Nifty’s recent volatility has led to a 0.45% decline after a three-session winning streak. The formation of a shooting star-like candle on the daily chart suggests profit booking near the 20-day EMA. Despite a sharp 700-point rebound over the past few sessions, the index retraced from a key gap-down zone on the weekly chart.

Key Support & Resistance Levels:

  • Immediate support: 22,200-22,100 (critical for recovery toward 22,800-23,000 in the coming week)

  • Primary support zone: 22,000-21,700 (aligned with the 100-week EMA and a major trendline support connecting multi-year lows)

Global & Asian Market Trends

US benchmark indices experienced sharp declines as investors reacted to Trump’s comments regarding a possible economic downturn. The Nasdaq Composite plunged 4% to 17,468.3, while the S&P 500 fell 2.7% to 5,614.6. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 2.1% to 41,911.7. Among sectors, technology bore the brunt of the sell-off (-4.3%), while consumer discretionary stocks also saw declines. Utilities and energy were the only gainers.

Asian equities followed suit, with Australian, Japanese, and South Korean markets seeing significant declines.
