Asian equities opened slightly lower as weaker U.S. jobs data failed to significantly raise expectations of further Federal Reserve rate cuts, keeping regional sentiment cautious.
Gift Nifty indicates a flat opening for Indian equities. For today’s session, the index is expected to trade within the 25,700–26,050 range.
Indian Market – Previous Session Recap
Indian equities extended losses after opening in negative territory, pressured by a sharp depreciation in the Indian rupee, which breached the 91 mark against the dollar, along with persistent foreign investor outflows.
Sensex declined 533.50 points (-0.63%) to 84,679.86.
Nifty 50 slipped 167.20 points (-0.64%) to 25,860.10.
Sectoral breadth remained weak. Realty, Private Banks, IT, and Metals led the decline, while Media and Consumer Durables were the only sectors to post marginal gains.
Nifty Midcap 100 fell 0.83%.
Nifty Smallcap 100 declined 0.92%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook
The Nifty formed a bearish candle on the weekly expiry day, reflecting selling pressure. The index failed to break above the falling trendline of the past two weeks.
Immediate resistance: 26,000–26,050
Upside potential: A decisive breakout above resistance could lead to a move toward 26,200–26,300.
Key support: 25,700–25,800, supported by the 50-day EMA, last week’s low, and a key retracement level.
In the near term, Nifty is expected to consolidate within the 25,700–26,300 range.
