Global markets are showing a pause after recent highs, with mixed movements and cautious sentiment driven by earnings, Federal Reserve expectations, and geopolitical tensions. Indian markets continue to remain resilient, holding above key levels despite global uncertainty.
Global Market Overview
Global markets remained mixed as the Dow Jones declined 62.92 points to 49,167.80, while the Nasdaq rose 50.50 points to 24,887.10 and the S&P 500 gained 8.85 points to 7,173.92. This reflects a pause after the recent rally, with sentiment remaining cautious amid key earnings announcements, the upcoming Federal Reserve policy decision, and ongoing Middle East tensions. Strong earnings continue to support markets, with 81% of companies beating estimates. However, geopolitical uncertainty, including US-Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz disruptions, continues to keep energy markets volatile.
Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed as investors monitored developments in U.S.–Iran negotiations. Japan’s Nikkei 225 declined 0.49% after reaching record highs, while the Topix gained 0.23%. In South Korea, the Kospi rose 0.1%, whereas the Kosdaq declined 0.92%, reflecting a cautious regional sentiment.
Indian equity markets ended the previous session on a strong note, supported by broad-based buying and strong investor participation.
The rally was led by sectors such as Pharma, Consumer Durables, Realty, Media, and IT, which posted gains in the range of 2–3%, with no significant laggards. Broader markets outperformed the benchmarks, with the Nifty Midcap index rising 1.47% and the Smallcap index gaining 1.90%, indicating improved risk appetite.
Nifty is currently witnessing consolidation within the broad range of 23,600–24,400 amid stock-specific action during the earnings season. The index has formed a bullish candlestick pattern within the previous session range, indicating buying demand emerging near the 20-day EMA. A move above 24,206 may lead to further upside towards 24,400, while a breach below 23,813 could result in downside towards 23,600. Short-term support is positioned around the 23,600–23,500 range.
Nifty Resistance: 24,210 and 24,330
Nifty Support: 23,970 and 23,850
Bank Nifty Resistance: 56,475 and 56,900
Bank Nifty Support: 55,910 and 55,550
FII positioning reflects a cautious and hedged approach, limiting strong directional conviction ahead of the monthly expiry. Nifty continues to exhibit a range-bound but mildly positive bias, with 24,000 acting as strong support and 24,300 as the upside trigger. The 24,100 level remains a key pivot, with price action gravitating around it. Bank Nifty is witnessing range compression, increasing the likelihood of a sharp breakout move during expiry.
Elevated crude oil prices, lack of FII short covering, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties remain key risks to the current market setup.
Markets are in a consolidation phase, balancing strong earnings support with global uncertainties. While the overall bias remains mildly positive, key levels, global cues, and incoming data will be critical in determining the near-term direction.
