Currency:
The dollar index, which gauges the currency against six major peers, was down 0.4% at 97.83.
Commodities:
Gold prices hit a five-week high on Thursday, supported by a softer dollar and safe-haven flows, due to ongoing concerns over the Federal Reserve’s independence. Spot gold rose 0.6% to $3,416.14 per ounce.
Oil prices settled higher on Thursday. Brent crude futures rose 0.84%, to close at $68.62 per barrel.
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed on Friday morning trade breaking ranks from Wall Street gains as investors also assess a slate of economic data in the region.
Sector-Specific Indicator:
Japan’s Nikkei 225 slid 0.31%, while the Topix lost 0.39%. South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.31% while the Kosdaq Index climbed 0.76%.
Market in Previous Session:
Indian equity benchmarks continued its losing streak on August 28th, with Nifty settling near the 24,500 marks, reflecting continuation of the selling pressure. Last two sessions sharp decline can be attributed to the implementation of the 50% US tariff on Indian goods, which has heightened worries about India's export competitiveness and trade relations.
While domestic institutional investors (DIIs) provided some support by stepping in as net buyers, the persistent FII outflows amplified the impact of the US tariffs, leading to a broad-based selloff.
At close, the Sensex was down 705.97 points or 0.87% at 80,080.57, and the Nifty was down 211.15 points or 0.85% at 24,500.90.
Barring Consumer Durables, sectoral breadth remained weak as all other indices slipped into the red, with FMCG, Power, Banking, Realty, IT and Telecom registering cuts in the range of 1–2%, indicating broad-based sectoral pressure. Midcap index shed 1.2% and small-cap index fell 1.4%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a second consecutive sizable bear candle with a lower high and lower low signaling continuation of the corrective decline. Index in the process filled the last Monday’s gap area and closed below the 100 days EMA.
Going ahead to pause the current down trend the index needs to start forming higher high and higher low in the daily chart, failure to do so will keep the bias down.
Nifty has immediate support base placed at 24,400-24,350 levels being the confluence of the recent lows and the key retracement area. Index holding above the same will lead to a consolidation in the range of 24,400-24,900.
While failure to do so will signal acceleration of decline towards 24,000-23,800 levels being the confluence of the 52 weeks EMA and the previous major lows and the previous breakout area.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,620, followed by 24,750 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,410, followed by 24,340.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 54,090, followed by 54,350, while downside support is found at 53,560, followed by 53,300.
Nifty:
Nifty continues to show signs of consolidation as the highest Call and Put OI is concentrated at the 25,000 strike, forming a straddle and highlighting indecision among market participants.
In the previous session, both call and put writers were active between 24,500 and 24,800, suggesting that the index may remain confined within this tight band in the run-up to expiry.
Sustaining above 24,500 is crucial, as it would likely keep Nifty range-bound between 24,500 and 24,800.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) currently stands at 0.86, indicating a slightly higher inclination towards call writing and reflecting a cautious to mildly bearish sentiment in the market.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty is exhibiting a more directional bias compared to Nifty. The highest call OI is placed at 56,000 followed by 55,000, while strong put writing has been observed at 54,000 and 53,000.
Interestingly, we also note aggressive in-the-money put writing above 54,000, hinting at traders’ confidence in the index sustaining above this level in the near term.
In the previous session, both call and put writers were most active at the 54,000 strike, establishing it as a pivotal level for the index.
For now, 54,000 acts as a crucial resistance point; a decisive breakout above this level could open the gates for a move towards 54,500. On the downside, 53,000 remains an important support zone to watch.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) is currently at 0.97, suggesting a balanced sentiment but with a slightly positive undertone as put writers are showing strength.
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 hit a record high on Thursday, as investors weighed a surprise uptick in economic growth and results from artificial intelligence major Nvidia.
