Currency:
The dollar index was steady at 98.134.
Commodities:
Brent crude fell 0.8% to $69.57 a barrel, while U.S. crude slipped 0.9% to $65.14 a barrel, as Iraq’s Kurdistan region resumed oil exports over the weekend.
Spot gold is up 0.3% at $3,769.37/oz, while silver futures jumped 1.8% to $45.91/oz, nearing their highest level since April 2011 as expectations of lower real interest rates and tightening physical availability collided.
General Trends:
Asian markets opened cautiously on Monday as investors worried a potential U.S. government shutdown could delay the September jobs report and other key economic data.
Sector-Specific Indicator:
Japan’s Nikkei fell 0.7% but remains up 6% for September, while South Korea’s KOSPI rose 1.2%, extending its monthly gain to 6.3%. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index added 0.4%, bringing its September rise to nearly 4%.
Market in the Previous Session:
On September 26th, benchmark indices fell for the seventh consecutive session, with the Nifty ending below the 24,700 mark. Markets slumped in line with a broad Asian sell-off, as fresh tariffs on pharmaceuticals dented investor sentiment and drove pharma stocks sharply lower.
At close, the Sensex was down 733.22 points or 0.90 percent at 80,426.46, and the Nifty was down 236.15 points or 0.95 percent at 24,654.70.
All sectoral indices closed lower, with banks, capital goods, consumer durables, metals, IT, telecom, pharma, and PSU banks falling 1–2.5% each.
The market is grappling with several headwinds, including heavy FII outflows, uncertainty over US–India trade, a weakening rupee, and the rising allure of bullion, leaving investors on edge.
Midcap and small-cap indices dropped by more than 2% each.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty formed a big bearish candle with a lower high and lower low, showing strong selling at higher levels. It has also retraced more than 61.8% of its recent three-week pullback (24,433–25,448).
The index is still in a corrective phase, and further weakness this week could push it down to the key support zone of 24,400–24,300, which matches the last two months’ lows and the 200-day EMA.
The daily stochastic is near oversold after the sharp decline, indicating a potential short-term bounce in this holiday-shortened week. However, the corrective trend will ease only if the index closes above 25,000–25,100, with immediate resistance seen at 24,750–24,800 levels.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,800, followed by 25,880 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,640, followed by 25,500.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 54,650, followed by 54,850, while downside support is found at 54,080, followed by 53,800.
Nifty:
Nifty faces immediate resistance at 25,000, which coincides with the highest Call OI, followed by the 26,000 mark as the next hurdle.
On the downside, strong support is placed at 24,500, backed by notable Put OI additions at this strike.
Options data indicates aggressive call writing above 24,700 coupled with put unwinding at higher strikes, reflecting a bearish undertone in the market.
While the zone of 24,500 remains crucial for defending the downside, a sustained breach below this level may open the gates for a further slide towards 24,400.
On the other hand, if the index manages to decisively move above 24,700, it could see a brief relief rally towards 24,800, though overall sentiment remains cautious.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 0.63, reinforcing a bearish bias in the near term.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty is currently facing resistance at 55,000, with the next significant hurdle at 55,500.
On the support side, 54,000 remains an important level, followed by 53,500. Options positioning reveals aggressive call writing above 54,500, along with put unwinding, which signals a cautious-to-bearish market tone.
However, there is visible put writing at 54,000 and 53,500, suggesting that buyers are actively defending these lower levels.
A sustained move above 54,500 could provide room for an upside extension towards 55,000, though stiff resistance is likely to cap momentum.
Conversely, if the index fails to hold above 54,500, it risks drifting lower towards 54,000. With a PCR of 0.71, the index continues to lean bearish despite selective support at lower levels.
Performance Overview:
U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday but remained down for the week, with firm consumer spending lifting longer-term Treasury yields, while gold advanced as steady inflation figures reinforced prospects of upcoming Fed rate cuts.
Sector-specific indicator:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.65%, the S&P 500 rose 0.59% and the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.44%.
The prospect of a potential government shutdown is also adding uncertainty and could disrupt the data releases that investors follow closely for guidance.
President Donald Trump will meet with the top Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress later on Monday to discuss extending government funding.
Economic indicator:
Data showed consumer spending rose slightly more than expected in August, while inflation inched up to 2.7% from 2.6% in July, matching economists’ forecasts.
