    • The dollar index hit its highest level since December 10 but eased and was last down 0.3% at 98.262. 

  3. Commodities:

    • Gold rose to a one-week high on Monday, after U.S. strikes in Venezuela added to bullion’s safe-haven appeal. Spot gold rose 2.7% to $4,444.52 an ounce. Silver jumped 5.2% to $76.37/oz.

    • Crude oil prices rose on Monday, as the overthrow of President Nicolas Maduro by the Trump administration has cast deep uncertainty over oil-rich Venezuela. Global benchmark Brent gained $1.01, or 1.66%, to settle at $61.76 per barrel

Asian Markets

  1. General Trends:

    • Asia-Pacific markets opened mixed on Tuesday, building on a record-breaking rally in global stocks.

  2. Sector-Specific Indicators:

    • South Korea’s Kospi lost 0.85%, while the small-cap Kosdaq inched 0.09% higher.

India Market Outlook

  1. Market in the Previous Session:

    • Indian equities traded with a cautious bias on Monday, as the Sensex and Nifty oscillated between marginal gains and losses. Initial optimism driven by improving quarterly earnings was tempered by rising geopolitical concerns, particularly around the potential implications of U.S. military action in Venezuela.

    • At the close, the Sensex declined 322.39 points (-0.38%) to 85,439.62, while the Nifty declined 78.25 points (-0.30%) to end at 26,250.30. Market sentiment was further dampened after remarks by the US President regarding India’s purchases of Russian oil, which raised fears of potential tariff actions against India.

    • On the sectoral front, IT, oil & gas, and telecom stocks declined between 0.5 and 1 percent. In contrast, the realty index outperformed the broader market, jumping nearly 2 percent. Consumer durables gained around 1 percent, while metal and FMCG indices edged higher by about 0.5 percent each.

    • The broader market displayed mixed trends with stock-specific action. The Nifty Midcap index ended marginally lower by 0.16 percent, whereas the Nifty Small cap index outperformed, closing higher by 0.53 percent.

TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 06

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index has formed a small bearish candle signaling consolidation at an all-time high after last week's strong upward move. The index continues to trade well above its key moving averages, confirming the ongoing uptrend.

    • Going ahead, a follow-through strength above Monday’s high (26,373) will open further upside towards 26,500 initially, followed by 26,800-26,900 levels from a short-term perspective, being the measuring implication of the last five weeks' broader consolidation range (26,300-25,700). However, failure to surpass Monday’s high may signal a consolidation phase within the 26,000–26,370 range.

    • We believe the structure remains positive and a buy-on-decline approach, favouring the bulls as long as the index sustains above the 26,000-25,900 marks.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,340, followed by 26,400 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 26,180, followed by 26,100.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 60,330, followed by 60,550, while downside support is found at 59,900, followed by 59,670.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • Nifty synthetic futures are trading around 26,227 after the index registered a fresh all-time high of 26,373 during the session. 

    • Options positioning reflects the highest call open interest at 26,300, indicating a near-term supply zone, while the highest put open interest at 26,000 continues to define the primary base. 

    • Call writers were aggressive above 26,200, suggesting stiff overhead resistance near current levels, whereas put writers unwound positions between 26,200–26,400, pointing to some weakening in immediate support following the rally. 

    • Despite this, 26,200 remains the key short-term support, and dips toward this level are likely to attract buying interest.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Bank Nifty scaled a fresh all-time high of 60,437, maintaining strong relative momentum. 

    • Options data shows the highest call and put open interest concentrated at 59,500, followed by 60,000, marking these as key reference levels. 

    • Both call and put writers unwound positions between 59,000–60,000 and shifted to higher strikes in the 60,100–60,900 range, indicating expectations of consolidation at elevated levels. 

    • The 60,000 mark has emerged as the critical support, and declines toward this zone are likely to be used as buying opportunities.

US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 closed higher on Monday, underpinned by a rally in financials and energy stocks, with the latter boosted by rising oil prices as investors digested the U.S. attack on Venezuela and the broader geopolitical implications.

  2. Sector-specific indicator:

    • The Dow gained nearly 595 points, or about 1.2%, notching an all-time high and a record close. The S&P 500 advanced about 0.6%. 

    • The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose nearly 0.7%, with growth stocks Tesla and Amazon seeing gains.

  3. Economic indicator:
