    Global Market Update

    U.S. equity markets ended Monday on a strong note, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at record highs, driven by gains in technology stocks and Walmart. Investor sentiment remained resilient despite concerns surrounding the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

    Walmart stocks gained attention after the retailer announced it will join the Nasdaq-100 index on January 20, a move expected to attract significant inflows from passive index funds. Meanwhile, banking and credit card stocks came under pressure following former President Donald Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, starting January 20.

    Investors are now shifting focus to the fourth-quarter U.S. earnings season, beginning Tuesday with results from JPMorgan Chase and other major banks. Markets are also keenly awaiting Tuesday’s U.S. CPI data, which could influence expectations around Federal Reserve rate cuts.

    Gift Nifty signals a positive start for Indian markets, with Nifty spot expected to trade in the 25,550–26,000 range.

    Indian Market – Previous Session Recap

    Indian equities closed higher on January 12, despite a volatile session. The Nifty hovered near the 25,800 mark, rebounding from intraday lows on improved sentiment after favorable comments from the U.S. Ambassador regarding a potential trade deal.

    Safe-haven demand stayed firm amid geopolitical tensions, supporting precious metals, while the commodities space outperformed, aided by strong metal prices and supply-side constraints.

    At the close:

    Sensex: +301.93 points (+0.36%) at 83,878.17

    Nifty: +106.95 points (+0.42%) at 25,790.25

    Sector performance:

    Metals led with a 2% gain

    PSU banks and FMCG rose 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively

    Capital goods, pharma, media, and realty declined 0.5%–1.5%

    Midcaps ended flat, while the small-cap index slipped 0.5%.

    Nifty Short-Term Outlook

    Nifty has formed a bullish Piercing Line pattern, indicating strong buying interest at lower levels following a sharp 900-point decline over five sessions. The long lower shadow highlights buying from deeply oversold zones.

    The index has also closed above its 100-day EMA, bouncing from an intraday low of 25,473, which now acts as a crucial support level.

    If strength continues, Nifty may move toward the 25,950–26,050 resistance zone, which aligns with the 20-day EMA and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline.

    Intraday Levels – Nifty

    Resistance: 25,890 | 25,960

    Support: 25,670 | 25,550

    Intraday Levels – Bank Nifty

    Resistance: 59,740 | 59,900

    Support: 59,180 | 58,950
