INDIA VIX: 10.60 | +0.65 (6.53%) ↑ today
Treasury Yield:
The U.S. 2-year yield rose 5 bps to 3.538%, while the 10-year yield slipped 1.2 bps to 4.171%.
Currency:
The dollar index (DXY), which tracks the greenback against major currencies, rose 0.26% to 99.13.
Commodities:
Spot gold was up 1,5% at $4,578 per ounce.
Brent crude rose $1.35 (2.18%) to $63.34 a barrel, while WTI gained $1.36 (2.35%) to $59.12.
General Trends:
Asian shares opened in the green on Monday after US jobs data catalysed in pushing stocks to new highs in the previous session.
Sector-Specific Indicators:
Stock markets in Australia and South Korea, along with Hong Kong futures, moved higher, tracking the S&P 500, which gained 0.6% on Friday to close at a record high. However, U.S. equity futures edged slightly lower.
Meanwhile, Japanese markets are closed on Monday due to a public holiday.
Market in the Previous Session:
Indian stock markets fell for the fifth day in a row on January 9, with the Nifty slipping below 25,700. Markets stayed under pressure due to ongoing uncertainty over US–India tariff talks and rising geopolitical tensions, especially concerns about possible US trade actions linked to Russia-related sanctions. Investors are also watching closely for Q3 FY26 IT earnings starting Monday.
Sentiment was further weakened as markets awaited the US Supreme Court’s decision on the legality of former President Donald Trump’s tariffs, including the use of emergency powers to impose broad global duties, but somehow got postponed to January 14th.
At the close, the Sensex dropped 604.72 points (0.72%) to 83,576.24, while the Nifty fell 193.55 points (0.75%) to 25,683.30.
The midcap index declined 0.79%, and the small-cap index fell 1.81%.
Among sectors, only IT, PSU Bank, and Oil & Gas ended higher. All others closed lower, with Auto, FMCG, Realty, and Consumer Durables stocks falling 1–2%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a second straight strong bearish candle with lower highs and lower lows, extending the correction to a fifth session. On the weekly chart, a bearish engulfing pattern signals profit booking at higher levels, with the index closing below last month’s low, keeping the trend negative.
Nifty is now testing the 20-week EMA near 25,620. A break below this could lead to further downside towards 25,500–25,400.
In the short term, momentum indicators show the market is oversold, so a technical bounce is possible. However, for the decline to pause, Nifty needs to form higher highs and higher lows and move back above 26,000 decisively.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,780, followed by 26,870 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,610, followed by 25,500.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,430, followed by 59,650, while downside support is found at 59,000, followed by 58,770.
Nifty:
Nifty positioning remains bearish, with 26,000 (highest Call OI) acting as a strong supply zone.
Heavy call writing in 25,700–26,000 confirms resistance on rebounds.
Support at 25,500 (highest Put OI) is weakening, as put writing is shifting below 25,650, with the strongest addition at 25,400—suggesting downside is being extended, not defended.
OI up 4.3% indicates fresh short build-up, keeping 25,500 synthetic as the immediate downside magnet.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty structure is fragile, with 60,000 Call OI capping upside and 59,500 Put OI as near support.
Strong call writing in 59,000–60,000 reinforces a ceiling, while put unwinding in the same band signals weakening support.
OI up 4.4% confirms short build-up, pointing towards a drift to 59,000, with selling pressure on any bounce towards 59,500–60,000.
Performance Overview:
Major stock indices surged to record highs, while the dollar strengthened on Friday after data showed that the U.S. economy added fewer jobs than expected in December, a development that did little to alter expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year.
Sector-specific indicator:
The markets still rose last week despite heightened geopolitical tensions after U.S. forces conducted a military operation that resulted in Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro’s capture.
The Dow Jones climbed 237.96 points (0.48%) to 49,504.07, the S&P 500 rose 44.82 points (0.65%) to 6,966.28, and the Nasdaq Composite added 191.33 points (0.82%) to 23,671.35.
For the week, the Dow rose 2.3%, the S&P 500 advanced 1.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 1.9%.
Economic indicator:
U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 50,000 in December, slightly below the 60,000 estimate and just above November’s revised 56,000. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.4%, in line with expectations.
Investors were watching for a Supreme Court decision on Trump’s tariffs, but the next rulings are now expected on January 14. Investors will track U.S. inflation data this week, with the December CPI on Tuesday and retail sales + PPI on Wednesday.
