Treasury Yield:
The yield on the 10-year Treasury was more than 6 basis points lower at 4.089%.
Currency:
The U.S. dollar declined for a second consecutive day on Thursday as data showed weakness in the U.S. labor market, increasing expectations of another rate cut this year. The Dollar Index traded 0.3% lower around 99.60 levels.
Commodities:
Spot gold was up 0.2% at $3,989.91 per ounce.
Brent crude futures lost 0.22%, to close at $63.38 a barrel.
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets opened lower Friday, tracking Wall Street declines on persistent concerns over lofty valuations in artificial intelligence stocks.
Sector-Specific Indicator:
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index tumbled 1.38% at the open. The Topix index retreated 0.5%. South Korea’s Kospi declined 0.46%, while the small-cap Kosdaq lost 0.92%.
Market in the Previous Session:
Indian equity markets finished on a subdued note on November 6th, with the Nifty retreating toward the 25,500 level as overall sentiment remained weak and investors adopted a risk-off approach.
Attention has now shifted to key U.S. economic indicators due this week, particularly the ISM Manufacturing and Services PMI readings. These data points are expected to provide cues on global growth trends and could play a significant role in shaping market sentiment worldwide.
By the close, the Sensex slipped 148 points (0.18%) to end at 83,311, while the Nifty declined 88 points (0.34%) to settle at 25,510.
Across sectors, metal, power, realty, and media indices saw notable pressure, falling between 1.5% - 2.5%. In contrast, auto and IT sectors managed to buck the trend, recording marginal gains.
In the broader market space, the Midcap index dropped 0.95%, while the Small-cap index saw a steeper fall of 1.39%, reflecting continued profit booking and cautious positioning among investors.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bearish candlestick pattern with a lower high and lower low for the fifth session in a row, highlighting extended profit booking.
Over the past ten trading sessions, the Nifty has undergone a corrective retracement of approximately 600 points, effectively unwinding the overbought readings that had emerged on the daily stochastic oscillator following a sharp 1,500-point rally over the preceding four weeks.
Technically, the index is now approaching a crucial demand zone between 25,500 and 25,300, which is expected to act as a strong support base.
We believe index need to start forming higher high and higher low to signal a pause in the current corrective decline and open pullback towards immediate resistance of 25,850.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,600, followed by 25,680 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,400, followed by 25,330.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 57,750, followed by 58,000, while downside support is found at 57,300, followed by 57,050.
Nifty:
26000 holds the highest Call open interest while 25000 carries the highest Put OI, defining a broad range for the index.
Strong Put writing at 25500 across both weekly and monthly expiries suggests this level will act as a crucial support.
On the upside, 25600 remains an immediate resistance zone with heavy Call writing.
If Nifty Futures slips below 25500, selling pressure could intensify towards 25300.
However, a move above 25600, accompanied by Call unwinding at 25600–25700, may trigger a swift bullish rally.
Bank Nifty:
For Bank Nifty, both the highest Call and Put OI are concentrated at 58000, making it the pivotal zone for the coming sessions.
In the previous session, Call writers were active at 58000, reinforcing it as a key resistance, while unwinding at 57000 on both sides indicates that traders are shifting their positions to higher strikes.
Open interest rose by 5.7% alongside a 0.4% decline in price, confirming a short build-up.
The immediate support lies at 57000, while the index will regain positive momentum only if it sustains above 58000 with visible Call unwinding at that level.
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 fell Thursday, as sellers returned to tech with AI names including Nvidia the hardest hit amid concerns about valuations while data showing big job cuts stoked concerns about the economy.
