The Indian equity markets experienced a highly volatile session, with significant fluctuations on both sides. Following an initial phase of selling pressure, the market rebounded sharply in the latter half of the session, sustaining momentum that propelled the benchmark index into positive territory. In this environment of heightened volatility, the bulls regained control, enabling the Nifty index to break its losing streak and close near the 25800 level, registering a gain of 0.35 percent.

The 300-plus point recovery from the intraday lows of 25473 is being emphasized as a significant development, driven by renewed tariff talks. Although the benchmark index remains at a cautious juncture below the trendline breakdown, tariff issues continue to be a significant factor in shaping the intermediate trend. From a technical standpoint, the 50-DEMA at 25900 is expected to serve as an intermediate hurdle, followed by a strong resistance level at the 26000 mark, which coincides with the 20-DEMA. A decisive breakthrough above these levels could only reignite bullish sentiment in the upcoming session.

On the lower end, 25680-25650 remains a pivotal support zone and is likely to cushion any shortcomings, while the recent swing low, coinciding with the November month closure around 25500-25470, is likely to be the sacrosanct support zone.

Moving forward, the inflation data and ongoing tariff discussions are likely to influence short-term market sentiments, necessitating close observation. It is prudent to refrain from making aggressive bets on indices, as volatility is expected to remain elevated. In the interim, investors should concentrate on thematic movers that present opportunities until greater clarity emerges regarding market trends.

After showing sharp weakness in the last few sessions, Nifty witnessed an excellent bounce back from the lows on Monday and closed the day with decent gains of around 106 points. After opening on a weak note, Nifty slipped into weakness in the early part of the session. A sharp recovery has emerged from the lows of 25473 levels and the market sustained the gains till the end.

A long bull candle has been formed on the daily chart with long lower shadow. Technically, this market action is indicating significant turnaround in the market for the short term. This is positive indication one may expect further upside in the short term.

The underlying trend of Nifty seems to have turned up post sharp weakness of last week. Having recovered from the key lower levels decisively, Nifty could advance towards the next hurdle of 26000-26100 levels in the next few sessions.

The benchmark index Nifty witnessed a sharp rebound on Monday after comments from US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, regarding ongoing trade talks boosted investor sentiment. From its intraday low, the index surged more than 300 points and closed at 25790, up 0.42%. This recovery resulted in the formation of a bullish candle with a long lower shadow, indicating strong buying interest at lower levels. Significantly, Nifty managed to close above its 100-day EMA, a key technical level. The daily RSI also bounced from the 40–39 zone, though it remains below its 9-day average, suggesting improving momentum but not yet a full reversal.

Among Nifty constituents, Coal India and Tata Steel were the top gainers, while Infosys and Bajaj Finance ended as major losers. Sectorally, Nifty Metal and Nifty PSU Bank led the gains, whereas Nifty Media and Nifty Realty were the worst performers.

In the broader market, Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 also recovered from lower levels during the session but closed in negative territory. Notably, Nifty Smallcap 100 continues to trade below all its crucial moving averages. The advance-decline ratio remained skewed towards decliners, with 306 stocks from the Nifty 500 universe ending in the red.

Nifty View

Going forward, the Nifty faces a crucial hurdle at the 50-day EMA zone of 25890–25920. A sustained move above 25920 could open the door for a sharp upside rally, with potential targets at 26100 and beyond in the near term. On the downside, immediate support is placed around the 100-day EMA zone of 25650–25620, which will be a key level for traders to watch.

Bank Nifty View

The banking benchmark index, Bank Nifty, found strong support near its 50-day EMA and staged an impressive rebound during the session. The index formed a bullish candle with a long lower shadow, signalling renewed buying interest at this crucial technical level. This recovery highlights the significance of the 50-day EMA as a key support zone for traders.

Going ahead, the zone of 59700–59800 will act as a critical hurdle for the index. A decisive and sustained move above 59800 could trigger a sharp upside rally, potentially taking the index towards 60300 and subsequently 60800 in the short term. On the downside, immediate support is placed in the 59000–58900 zone.

Barjeel Geojit Financial Services, a UAE-based joint venture of Geojit Financial Services, has launched the ‘Barjeel Geojit India Opportunities Fund’ (BGIOF) for global investors who are keen to participate in the India growth story.

Today, the Indian stock market staged a strong comeback, recovering sharply from early losses to close in positive territory. However, market sentiment improved significantly during the day after positive comments on India-US trade relations.

The turnaround was triggered by statements from US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, who confirmed that India and the US are actively engaged in trade discussions and that the next round of talks is scheduled for January 13. His remarks reassured investors that trade relations remain constructive despite recent concerns around tariffs and delays in a formal trade agreement.

Following this, markets rebounded sharply, with the Sensex recovering nearly 1,000 points from its lows and the Nifty moving back above 25,700.

Additional support came from steady buying by domestic institutional investors, who continued to invest despite foreign investor selling. Short covering after the recent correction and value buying in large stocks also helped lift the market. Banking and export oriented stocks led the recovery, as investors expect improved trade relations to support economic growth. Metal stocks also gained, while media and real estate stocks lagged.

Inflation remains low and supportive for equities, but global risks persist. The outcome of the tomorrow’s trade discussions and upcoming IT company earnings will be key drivers for the market in the near term.

Today, the benchmark indices witnessed a sharp recovery from the lower levels. The Nifty ended 107 points higher, while the Sensex was up by 302 points. Among sectors, the Metal Index outperformed today, rallying over 2 percent, whereas the Realty and Media indices shed over 1 percent. Technically, after an early morning intraday sharp selloff, the market took support near 25,500/82,700 and bounced back sharply. From the day's lowest point, the market bounced back over 300/1,200 points, which is largely positive.

We are of the view that the intraday market texture is positive, but buy on dips and sell on rallies would be the ideal strategy for day traders. On the downside, 25,650/83,500 and 25,600/83,300 would act as key support zones, while 25,900-25,950/84,300-84,500 could serve as immediate resistance areas for the bulls. However, below 25,600/83,300, sentiment could change. If that happens, traders may consider exiting their long positions.

The Indian market rebounded from the day’s lows as investor sentiment improved following favorable remarks on trade deal by the U.S. Ambassador ahead of the next round of negotiations. This positive undertone provided a lift to overall market sentiment.

The commodities segment outperformed, supported by strength in metals, which benefited from renewed buying interest during supply constraints. Value buying was also evident in consumer and banking stocks, as investors sought opportunities after recent corrections, supported by expectations of stronger Q3 earnings and improving demand.

Additionally, precious metals maintained their upward momentum amid persistent geopolitical tensions.

Indian rupee ended flat at 90.16 per dollar on Monday against Friday's close of 90.16.

The Union Budget 2026–27 is expected to play an important role in shaping the next phase of growth for India’s livestock sector. As the country strengthens its presence in global markets for buffalo meat and seafood, the industry is hoping to see a stronger focus on export support. This includes easier access to international markets, practical quality and certification systems aligned with global standards, and branding support for high-value markets such as the US, EU and ASEAN. Export-linked incentives, freight support and government-backed market development initiatives could go a long way in improving price realisation for farmers and producer cooperatives.

To sustain this export push, continued support under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana remains essential. Higher allocations for hatcheries, seed production, technology-driven farming and climate-resilient aquaculture would help scale operations while maintaining quality and supply stability.

Cost pressures also remain a key concern. Building on the reduction in Basic Customs Duty on key aquaculture inputs in the previous Budget, the industry is expecting further duty relief on pond and hatchery equipment, quality feed inputs, and cold-chain and processing infrastructure, along with better GST rationalisation. These steps would help lower production costs and strengthen the sector’s long-term competitiveness.
