The Nifty staged a recovery in mid-session during the last trading day but eventually ended near 24,700, clocking a modest one percent weekly gain. Despite upbeat GDP data and GST-related announcements, follow-through buying failed to materialise, capping the upside. Sectorally, Auto, Metal, and Media stocks emerged as top gainers, while IT, FMCG, and Realty stocks dragged. Broader markets, however, stayed largely flat. Looking ahead, key triggers this week include India’s CPI data on September 12, alongside crucial global cues from US CPI, PPI and jobless data that will shape Federal Reserve’s policy outcome. Adding to the busy calendar, as many as nine IPOs are set to hit the market across mainboard and SME segments, keeping investor sentiment in focus. This morning, global cues were mixed.

The Nifty 50 closed 19 points lower after a choppy trading session, continuing its southward journey for the third consecutive session amid fears of an escalating Iran-Israel conflict and cautious commentary from the Federal Reserve. Experts believe that if this level is decisively breached, the 24,500–24,450 zone becomes a crucial support area to watch. On the upside, the 25,000 mark remains a critical hurdle for any further upward movement. The GIFT Nifty meanwhile is hinting at a muted start.

US Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates steady and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran continues to dent sentiment. Asia is on the back foot with the GIFT Nifty hinting at a negative start. US markets ended narrowly mixed. The Nifty 50 remained in a tight range of 24,700–25,000 for the third consecutive day and closed the consolidative session with moderate losses of 41 points on June 18, as traders maintained caution ahead of the Federal Reserve policy outcome. According to experts, unless the index breaks the range on either side, consolidation may continue. Below the lower boundary, 24,500 is the key level to watch; beyond 25,000, 25,200 is the possible resistance. Hero Moto and Jio Financial are anong the stocks to watch out for.

The Nifty 50 put in a strong performance on June 16, rebounding nearly 1% after a brief correction and inching closer to the 25,000 mark. The rally was fueled by strength in global markets, which held firm despite persistent geopolitical tensions. Experts suggest that as long as 24,800 holds, the index could advance toward the 25,000–25,200 zone in the near term. A slip below 24,800 could see the Nifty finding support at 24,700, with further cushion at 24,500. This morning global cues are signalling caution with US futures in the red and GIFT Nifty hinting at a muted start as Iran-Israel tensions rise. Biocon & Vishal Mega Mart will be among the stocks to watch out for.

Buying interest persisted across both benchmark and broader markets on June 5, ahead of the RBI MPC outcome. The Nifty 50 rose by 0.5%, while the India VIX fell to its lowest level in two months, reflecting easing volatility. Analysts say that if this momentum holds, the Nifty could face immediate resistance at 24,900, with the psychological 25,000 mark next. On the downside, 24,500 remains the crucial support level to watch. The big trigger for today will be the RBI policy where the central bank is expected to cut rates by 25 bps. Rate sensitives will be in focus. Also watch out for Bajaj Finserv and IREDA among stocks in news.

The Nifty 50 recovered losses amid range-bound trading and closed with a moderate decline of 0.1 percent on March 12. Overall, it has been stuck in the range of 22,300-22,700 for almost a week now, which needs to breach on either side for a firm direction. If the index decisively breaks 22,300, sharp selling pressure is possible, which could take the index down to 22,000-21,800. However, as long as the index stays below 22,700, consolidation may continue, as only sustaining above it can open doors for a strong upmove toward 23,000, but that seems less likely in the near term, according to experts. Market is expected to open on a positive note as the GIFT Nifty is trading in the positive zone on the back of a rebound on Wall Street. BEL, BEML, and Jubilant Pharmova are among the stocks to watch.

The market is set to wrap up a lackluster and uneventful week, with the Nifty stuck within a tight 300-point range. Bulls have battled fiercely to hold the 22,800 level, but any attempts to push beyond 23,000 have lacked conviction, making it clear that momentum remains elusive. Experts now see Nifty’s immediate target at 23,000, with a potential move toward 23,200 if momentum picks up. However, failure to hold above 23,000 could prolong the consolidation phase, with crucial support resting at 22,700. This morning, global cues were largely lower.

Nifty 50 rclaimed the 23,800 mark in intra-day trade but could not sustain this level amid volatility due to profit booking. It ended lower by 43 points on February 5. This signals a breather after a day of sharp rally; however, the overall sentiment remains favourable for bulls, with the formation of higher tops and higher bottoms on the daily chart.
