On Monday, the stock market experienced a welcome uptick, with the Nifty-50 index closing at 22,508.75, marking a 0.5% gain. The Bank Nifty also saw positive movement, climbing 0.61% to settle at 48,354.15. Key sectors driving this momentum included metals, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals, while FMCG and real estate faced declines. Broader indices reflected a similar trend, gaining 0.5%.
Trade Outlook for Tuesday
For the Nifty to regain a bullish stance, it needs to break through the 22700 resistance level in the upcoming days, targeting 23000 next. Conversely, support is positioned between 22245 and 22300. A fall below 22245 may bring the swing low support at 21964 into play, according to Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities.
The Nifty Bank index has shown a pattern of fluctuating gains, suggesting possible intraday corrections. Immediate support is noted at 48,150, with a more substantial cushion at 48,000, as per insights from Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities.
Global Market Dynamics
The participation of domestic investors appears to be waning, primarily due to uncertainties surrounding tariffs. This could lead to a limited trading range in the short term. A sustained bullish momentum will largely hinge on signals of earnings growth, while improving domestic economic indicators hint at potential recovery. Experts, including Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, emphasize that attention is focused on the forthcoming meetings of the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan, with expectations leaning towards maintaining current economic policies amidst inflation concerns.
