Currency:
The U.S. dollar rose against most currencies on Tuesday, but remained within striking distance of Friday’s lows. The US Dollar Index is placed at around 98.50 levels.
Commodities:
Gold prices held steady on Tuesday. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,376.80 per ounce.
Oil fell on Tuesday as traders assessed rising OPEC+ supply and worries of weaker global demand against the U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to India over its Russian oil purchases. Brent crude futures fell 1.63% to close at $67.64 a barrel.
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed after losses on Wall Street as investors weighed weaker-than-expected economic data as well as fresh tariff comments from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Sector Specific Indicators:
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 slid 0.12% and the Topix rose 0.45%. South Korea’s Kospi and small-cap Kosdaq lost 0.64% and 0.57%, respectively.
U.S. President Trump proposed a "small tariff" on pharmaceutical imports, with potential hikes later, and hinted at chip tariffs within a week.
Trump reportedly also said that he would be raising tariffs on India in the next 24 hours. The US has imposed a tariff rate of 25% on India, which is supposed to be effective August 7, 2025.
Market in Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices ended lower on August 5th, with the Nifty breaching the key 24,700 level, on broad-based decline and risk-off sentiment prevailed amid sustained FII outflows. Market mood was further dampened by renewed trade tensions following fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, weighing on overall investor confidence. Investor sentiment turned cautious ahead of the outcome of the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, slated for release on Wednesday, as market participants await cues on the policy stance and interest rate trajectory.
The Sensex was down 308 points or 0.38% at 80,710.25, and the Nifty was down 73 points or 0.30% at 24,649.55.
On the sectoral front, the Nifty Auto index outperformed with gains of 0.4%, while selling pressure was visible in banking, IT, oil & gas, FMCG, and pharma counters — each ending lower by around 0.5%.
Meanwhile, the broader markets witnessed subdued action, with the BSE Midcap and Small-cap indices closing with marginal cuts.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index registered a bearish candlestick on the daily chart, entirely contained within the previous session’s trading range, indicative of a continuation of the prevailing consolidation phase amidst a stock-specific rotational theme.
Volatility is expected to remain heightened in the near term, underpinned by key macroeconomic catalysts, notably developments surrounding the US-India tariff dialogue and the forthcoming RBI monetary policy outcome.
Index has a strong support zone in the 24,500–24,400 region, which aligns with a confluence of technical markers — including the prior swing low, the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the preceding up-leg from 23,935 to 25,669.
Structurally, Nifty is expected to oscillate within a defined consolidation band of 24,400–25,000. Only a decisive breach below the 24,400 support threshold could trigger a corrective move towards the 24,200 levels in the upcoming sessions.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,690, followed by 24,800 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,530, followed by 24,420.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,550, followed by 55,790, while downside support is found at 55,100, followed by 54,860.
Nifty:
Nifty continues to reflect a cautious undertone with the highest Call Open Interest (OI) concentrated at the 25,000 strike, indicating strong resistance at higher levels. On the downside, the highest Put OI is seen at the 24,000 level, which signals a cautious sentiment and possible vulnerability to a downside move.
The immediate demand zone is placed between 24,500 and 24,600; a breach below this zone is likely to accelerate selling pressure. On the other hand, 24,800 acts as immediate resistance, and a move above this level could trigger an upside towards 25,000.
In the previous session, call writers were dominant while put writers significantly unwound their positions. This shift indicates weakening support at lower levels and highlights increasing bearish sentiment.
The immediate trading range for Nifty is seen between 24,500 and 24,800, and any breakout from this band could define the next directional move.
Additionally, the Put-Call Ratio (PCR) declined by 0.11 to 0.83.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty witnessed fresh call writing at the 55,500 strike, which now emerges as a key resistance zone. If the index manages to sustain above this level, it could trigger short covering, taking the index higher towards the 56,000 mark.
However, immediate support is seen at the 55,000 level, and a breach below this may result in a continuation of the prevailing corrective trend.
An interesting observation is the active participation of put writers at in-the-money strikes such as 56,000 and 57,000. While this reflects a certain level of confidence, any unwinding of these positions due to price pressure could intensify the downside move.
The broader trading range for Bank Nifty remains between 55,000 and 56,000, with a breakout on either side expected to result in a directional shift.
The Put-Call Ratio for Bank Nifty also declined by 0.08 and now stands at 0.82.
