Domestic indices traded within a narrow range, following last week's strong rally driven by easing geopolitical tensions and optimism over a potential U.S. trade deal. Investors are closely monitoring developments, seeking clarity on U.S. tariffs as the 90-day pause approaches its end. Additionally, confidence in domestic earnings growth remains crucial for sustaining market sentiment, with Q1FY26 results, set to begin next week, expected to provide further insight.

Meanwhile, multiple tailwinds, including a favourable monsoon, declining inflation, including benign crude prices, and government efforts to boost demand, are anticipated to lend continued support to investor sentiment.

After showing minor weakness from near the hurdle of previous opening downside gap of 3rd Oct 24 around 25650 levels on Monday, Nifty was not able to show follow-through weakness on Tuesday and closed the day higher by 24 points.

Bullish chart pattern like higher tops and bottoms is in store on the daily chart and further consolidation or weakness from here could form a short term base for the market ahead.

After the sharp upside breakout of broader high low range of 24500-25200 levels as per weekly chart in last week, the market consolidating from the highs and sliding down to the support of previous broken area around 25300 levels could be a positive indication.

The near term trend of Nifty remains positive. Further consolidation/weakness from here could find strong support around 25400-25300 levels, where one may expect sharp bounce from the lows. However, a decisive move above the high of 25700 could open the next upside targets of around 26000-26200 levels in the near term.

Today, the benchmark indices witnessed lackluster activity. The Nifty ends 25 points higher, while the Sensex was up by 91 points. Among sectors, PSU banks and defense stocks witnessed intraday buying interest, whereas the media index lost the most, shed 1.35 percent. Technically, after a muted open, the entire day market hovered between 24,500/83,600 and 24,600/83,900 price ranges. A small candlestick formation on daily charts and non-directional intraday activity on intraday charts indicate indecisiveness between the bulls and the bears.

We believe that the current market texture is non-directional, perhaps with traders waiting for either side to make a breakout. For the bulls, the immediate breakout zones are 25,600/83,900. A successful breakout above these levels could push the market toward 25,700–25,750 / 84,200–84,400. On the flip side, a dismissal of 25,470/83,500 could accelerate selling pressure. Below these levels, the market could retest 25,375–25,300 / 83,200–83,000.

Markets traded lackluster and ended almost unchanged, taking a breather after Monday’s decline. Following an initial uptick, the Nifty moved in a narrow range and eventually settled at 25,541.80. On the sectoral front, a mixed trend kept participants engaged—metals, banking (particularly the PSU pack), and pharma witnessed gains, while FMCG and IT ended lower. The broader indices, after their recent outperformance, also traded flat in a subdued session.

Buoyancy in global markets—especially the U.S.—along with stable domestic cues suggests that the prevailing trend is likely to continue. We, therefore, reiterate our “buy on dips” view, with a strong emphasis on stock selection. However, participants should adopt a cautious stance on the broader market given the overbought conditions in select pockets.

Today, the Indian stock market closed in a sideways, range bound manner with the Sensex marginally up by 90 points (0.11%) at 83,697 and the Nifty50 barely rising 24.75 points (0.10%) to 25,541. The market witnessed choppy trading as investors remained cautious despite entering a seasonally strong month. The broader markets showed some weakness with the Nifty MidCap and SmallCap indices closed in red.

The sideways closing was driven by mixed sectoral performances and uncertainty over near-term triggers. While PSU banks and select blue-chips, key names such as Axis Bank, TCS, Zomato, Tech Mahindra, Tata Motors, and NTPC dragged the indices lower. The broader market underperformance signals investor caution amid global uncertainties and mixed domestic cues. Looking ahead, market expectations hinge on upcoming corporate earnings, global trade developments, and domestic macroeconomic data.

Indian Rupee gained by nearly 20 paise today on weak US Dollar and a positive tone in the domestic markets. Dollar is trading at lowest levels since February 2022 and rising odds of a rate cut. India’s manufacturing PMI remained flat at 58.4 in June, in line with estimates.

We expect Rupee to gain on declining US Dollar and rise in risk appetite in global markets. Gold is trading at lowest levels since Feb 2022 and 10-year US bond yields briefly slipped below 4.2%. However, recovery in crude oil prices may cap sharp gains. Traders may take cues from ISM manufacturing PMI, and JOLTS job data from the US and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech.

The dollar just had the worst first-half of any year since 1973. And 1973 is when currencies started floating. So effectively the worst half year ever. It is difficult to emphasise today what a contrarian call this was in Dec 2024/Jan 2025. And while nothing goes in a straight line up or down, we are likely to see much more cyclical dollar weakness in the coming years. This of course has a direct impact on Indian growth and risk assets - EM and non-US assets more broadly - and a positive one at that.

The blast at Sigachi Industries' Hyderabad facility is undoubtedly a tragic incident that has claimed lives and injured workers, which rightfully takes precedence over any financial considerations. From an investment perspective, however, the damage appears more contained than initially feared. The affected plant represents roughly 28% of the company's total MCC production capacity (6,000 out of 21,700 MTPA), meaning nearly three-quarters of operations remain unaffected.

This is crucial - the two Gujarat plants are running normally and management is actively ramping up production there to fill the gap. The 90-day shutdown timeline gives investors a clear recovery roadmap, and the fact that the facility is fully insured should cover most restoration costs. While there will likely be some revenue impact in the near term and investors may demand stricter safety measures going forward.

Sigachi's diversified manufacturing base has prevented what could have been a catastrophic business disruption. The stock may face short-term pressure, but the company's ability to maintain most of its production suggests resilience in its business model.
