Sector Specific Indicators:
The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index advanced 0.4%, supported by a 2% gain in the Nikkei 225.
Chinese shares will be in focus after President Donald Trump extended a pause of tariffs on Chinese goods for another 90 days into early November.
Market in Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices wrapped up the August 11th session on a robust footing, with the Nifty settling just shy of the 24,600 mark, underscoring broad-based bullish momentum.
At close, the Sensex was up 746.29 points or 0.93 percent at 80,604.08, and the Nifty was up 221.75 points or 0.91 percent at 24,585.05.
The Midcap index outperformed with gains of 0.85%, while the Small-cap index advanced 0.36%, reflecting sustained risk-on sentiment in the broader market space.

Investors are looking ahead to this week’s US-Russia Summit with hopes it might ease geopolitical strains. However, short-term caution lingers as the overall impact on US trade and economic growth is yet to be fully understood.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bullish candlestick, fully reversing the decline from the previous session. This reflects a strong rebound from deeply oversold conditions.
Immediate resistance is placed around last week high of 24,740. As mentioned in the earlier edition, only a formation of higher high and higher low in weekly chart will signal a pause in the current downtrend.
Going ahead, in the current truncated week, we expect the index to consolidate in the range of 24,200-24,740. Only a move above 24,740 will extend pullback towards 25,000 levels.
Over the past six weeks, Nifty has declined by 5.5%, pushing the weekly stochastic oscillator into oversold territory—dropping below a reading of 3 last Friday. This extreme reading triggered a recovery in the last session, which is likely to continue toward the 24,740 level.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,650, followed by 24,740 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,460, followed by 24,340.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,740, followed by 55,980, while downside support is found at 55,230, followed by 54,950.
Nifty:
The highest call open interest (OI) is at 25,000, followed by 25,500, while the highest put OI stands at 23,500. This positioning suggests that 25,000 is the primary overhead resistance for the index, with significant support far below at 23,500.
However, recent options activity paints a more near-term bullish picture — the previous session saw strong put writing below 24,600 along with notable call unwinding at the same levels, indicating that sellers of calls are exiting and put sellers are becoming more aggressive.
This typically signals improving sentiment and a willingness to defend lower levels.
Immediate resistance is placed at 24,800; a sustained move above this could pave the way for a test of the 25,000 mark.
On the downside, 24,500 remains a crucial support level to watch, and a decisive break could see the index slide towards 24,000.
The current put-call ratio (PCR) stands at 1.03, indicating a slightly bullish bias as puts outnumber calls.
Bank Nifty:
In Bank Nifty, both the highest call and put OI are concentrated at 57,000, making this the pivotal strike for the upcoming expiry.
The last session saw strong put writing in the 54,900–55,300 range, coupled with call unwinding, which has reinforced the support zone and signals that traders are expecting the downside to be limited in the short term.
However, both call and put unwinding were observed at 56,000, suggesting indecision and making it a key level to monitor for directional clarity.
The critical support lies at 55,000; a breach of this level could open the door for a decline towards 54,500.
On the upside, sustaining above 56,000 would be the first step towards a potential move to retest 57,000.
The PCR for Bank Nifty stands at 0.81, which still reflects a cautious sentiment as calls slightly outnumber puts.
Performance Overview:
Wall Street's main indexes ended lower on Monday as investors anxiously await inflation data this week to assess the outlook for interest rates and eye U.S.-China trade developments.
Sector-Specific Index:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 200.52 points, or 0.45%, lower to 43,975.09, the S&P 500 lost 16.00 points, or 0.25%, to 6,373.45 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 64.62 points, or 0.3%, to 21,385.40.
Economic Indicators:
Investors expect the recent shakeup at the U.S. Federal Reserve and signs of labor market weakness could nudge the central bank into adopting a dovish monetary policy stance later this year, fueling much of the optimism.
Lower inflationary readings and slower growth numbers are needed to support the case for lower rates.
