  3. Commodities:

    • Spot gold was up 1.1% at $4,140.19 per ounce as renewed geopolitical risks bolstered safe-haven demand and investors braced for key U.S. inflation data due on Friday.

    • Global benchmark Brent rose 5.43%, to close at $65.99 per barrel after the Trump administration imposed further sanctions on Russia’s two largest crude companies.

Asian Markets

  1. General Trends:

    • Asia-Pacific markets rose on Friday morning trade after the White House said that U.S. President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping were set to hold talks next week.

  2. Sector-Specific Indicator:

    • Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index climbed 0.78%, while the Topix added 0.39%. South Korea’s Kospi jumped 1.35% and the small-cap Kosdaq was 0.92% higher.

India Market Outlook

  1. Market in the Previous Session:

    • The Indian equity market ended the session on a flat note, trimming early gains as investors resorted to selective profit booking amid cautious global sentiment. Uncertainty around global trade developments and the absence of fresh domestic triggers led to a profit booking.

    • At the close, the Sensex gained 130.06 points or 0.15% to settle at 84,556.40, while the Nifty 50 edged higher by 22.80 points or 0.09% to close at 25,891.40.

    • A strong performance was witnessed in the Nifty (IT) sector, which surged 2.21%, supported by renewed buying interest in leading IT majors. Other sectors such as Private Banks, Media, and FMCG also ended in the green, reflecting stock-specific strength.

    • However, profit booking was evident in Healthcare, Oil & Gas, and Pharma sectors, which capped the market’s overall upside momentum.

    • The broader market underperformed the benchmarks, with the Nifty Midcap 100 closing marginally lower by 0.06%, while the Nifty Small cap 100 slipped 0.05%.

TRADE SETUP FOR OCT 24

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index opened with an upward gap above the 26,000 mark but couldn’t sustain its momentum at higher levels, eventually giving up its early gains to close nearly flat on Thursday. It formed a bearish candle with a higher high and higher low, indicating profit booking at elevated levels following the recent strong rally.

    • After a sharp 1,500-point rally over the past four weeks in Nifty,  the stochastic oscillator on both daily and weekly charts has entered the overbought zone, indicating the possibility of a brief consolidation phase at higher levels. We anticipate the index to trade within the 25,600–26,200 range as it cools off the overbought conditions created by the recent surge. A decisive move above 26,200, however, would signal a continuation of the uptrend, potentially extending the rally toward the 26,500 level.

    • On the downside, the 25,500–25,700 range is likely to serve as a strong demand zone, aligning with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the ongoing rally (24,587–25,782) and the recent breakout area, thereby offering firm technical support. We believe any pullback toward this zone should be viewed as a buying opportunity.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,000, followed by 26,090 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,800, followed by 25,710.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 58,350, followed by 58,580, while downside support is found at 57,900, followed by 57,670.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • Call writers are showing dominance at the 26,100 and 26,200 strike levels, which will act as immediate resistance zones. A sustained move above these levels may trigger short covering.

    • On the downside, major Put OI is concentrated at the 25,000 strike, while immediate writer is seen at the 26,000 level. Sustaining below 26,000 could invite downward pressure towards 25,700.

    • Based on the option chain data, the decisive range for Nifty is expected between 25,700 – 26,200 levels.

    • It is also noteworthy that fresh Put writing has been observed at the 25,000 strike.

    • The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) for Nifty has declined by 0.12, currently standing at 0.96.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Significant accumulation of both Call and Put open interest is noted at the 58,500 strike, making it a crucial decisive level.

    • If 58,500 Put writers start unwinding, further downside pressure may emerge. However, sustaining above this level could build positive conviction and trigger short covering.

    • The 58,500 mark will act as an immediate resistance, while holding below 58,000 may attract selling pressure towards 57,500.

    • The immediate trading range for Bank Nifty is expected between 57,500 – 58,500 levels.

    • The PCR for Bank Nifty has marginally declined by 0.01 to 1.14.

US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 closed higher on Thursday, led by tech as U.S.-China trade tensions cooled after the White House confirmed meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping for later this month.

  2. Sector-specific indicator:

    • The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3%, the S&P 500 index 0.6%, and the NASDAQ Composite gained 0.9%.

    • Trump has also announced sanctions on Russia’s 2 largest oil companies, with his administration citing Moscow’s “lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine.”

    • The sanctions now stand to block a chunk of global oil supplies, and have helped ease concerns over a looming supply glut. This resulted in sharp gains in oil.

  3. Economic indicator: 

    • Investors wilk keep a close watch at the Friday’s release of the September Consumer Price Index, which was delayed by the over-three-week-old U.S. government shutdown.

    • With the next Federal Reserve policy meeting looming next week, investors are watching the inflation reading closely. The Fed is expected to cut rates this month by 25 basis points, followed by another reduction in December.
