Treasury Yield:
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 4.213% from 4.211%, while the 2-year yield inched higher to 3.617% versus 3.612% previously.
Currency:
The dollar index was trading near 98.15 levels.
Commodities:
Spot gold closed at $3,559 per ounce, while spot silver edged higher to roughly $41.1 per ounce.
US WTI crude was trading at 63.6$ per barrel and Brent was trading near 67.2$ per barrel.
General Trends:
Asian stocks moved higher in early trading on Thursday as dovish comments from Federal Reserve officials soothed investor nerves at a time of heightened concerns over global growth and a selloff in bond markets.
Sector-Specific Indicator:
Australian shares advanced 0.7%, recovering from their biggest one-day sell-off since April, while the Nikkei 225 opened up 1.2%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Index climbed 1.1% to above 42,400 while the broader Topix Index added 0.7% to 3,070.
Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark indices advanced over half a percent on Wednesday, September 3, driven by strong buying in metal stocks. Investor attention remained centered on developments from the GST Council meeting, which are expected to guide near-term sentiment.
At the close, the Sensex gained 409.83 points, or 0.51 percent, to settle at 80,567.71, while the Nifty rose 135.45 points, or 0.55 percent, to end at 24,715.05.
On the sectoral front, Nifty Metal led the rally with gains of over 3 percent, followed by PSU Bank, Pharma, and Auto indices, which climbed 0.7–1 percent. FMCG, Energy, Realty, and Infra saw modest upticks, whereas IT slipped nearly 0.8 percent and Media closed flat.
Metal counters were in focus, with JSW Steel, Tata Steel, and Hindalco extending gains on the back of a weaker dollar and China’s announcement to cut steel production between 2025 and 2026.
The move, aimed at curbing excess capacity that has been pressuring prices, further buoyed sentiment. However, with global uncertainties intensifying, heightened market volatility remains a key risk.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bullish candle which remained contained inside previous session price range signaling continuation of the consolidation amid stock specific action.
Nifty is expected to open gap up above the 20 and 50 days EMA placed around 24,800 levels. Sustaining above the short term averages will open further upside towards 25000 and 25,200 levels in the coming sessions.
Faliure to hold above 24,800 on a closing basis will signal extension of the consolidation in the range of 24,400-24,800.
Short-term support for the index is placed at 24,400-24,337 levels being the confluence of the recent lows and the key retracement area.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,880, followed by 24,970 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,680, followed by 24,570.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 54,470, followed by 54,680, while downside support is found at 53,900, followed by 53,650.
Nifty:
For the weekly expiry, the highest call OI is positioned at 25,000, while the highest put OI is at 24,500. In the previous session, strong put writing was observed below 24,700, establishing it as immediate support.
A sustained move below this level could open the door for a decline towards 24,500.
Overall, the dominance of put writers reflects a positive bias, though call writing above 25,000 highlights this zone as a crucial resistance.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) at 1.21 further indicates a bullish undertone, with dips likely to attract buying interest.
Bank Nifty:
The highest call OI is placed at 57,000, followed by 55,000, while notable put writing was seen at 54,000 and 57,000. Interestingly, ITM put writing above 55,000 signals that the index may hold above this mark in the near term.
In the last session, put writing coupled with call unwinding in the 53,500–54,000 range reinforced this zone as a strong support base.
On the upside, 57,000 remains the key resistance level to watch. With the PCR at 0.93, the bias is slightly positive, suggesting a potential upward drift as long as 54,000 is defended.
Performance Overview:
Wall Street ended on a mixed note Wednesday, with a late rebound helping the Dow Jones Industrial Average erase earlier declines.
Sector-specific indicator:
The index rallied more than 200 points in the last half hour of trade to close nearly unchanged. In contrast, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq outperformed, lifted by strength in heavyweight technology stocks. Alphabet hit a record high, offering significant support to both indices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) slipped 24.58 points, or 0.05%, to close at 45,271.23. The S&P 500 (SPX) advanced 32.72 points, or 0.51%, finishing at 6,448.26, while the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) climbed 218.10 points, or 1.03%, to settle at 21,497.73.
