The New York City mayoral race intensified after reports emerged that Trump advisers considered offering jobs to Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa to clear the path for Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent. Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani condemned the move as undemocratic and accused Trump of trying to influence the election by backing Cuomo. Trump praised Cuomo as a strong contender and labeled Mamdani a "communist," while insisting America would never embrace communism. Cuomo rejected Trump’s endorsement but stated his priority is defeating Mamdani, urging weaker candidates to step aside. Both Adams and Sliwa denied interest in federal appointments, calling the reports false. Mamdani, who beat Cuomo in the Democratic primary by 13 points, criticized the backroom maneuvering and emphasized that the race should focus on issues affecting New Yorkers, especially affordability. He framed the interference as a power play disconnected from the needs of everyday residents.

The Nifty 50 gave up nearly 250 points from day’s high on account of profit booking, but still managed to end with moderate gains on September 4. Experts say the trend could strengthen further if the index sustains above the 20- and 50-day EMAs. On the downside, 24,700 has emerged as immediate support, and a breach of this could open the door for a decline toward the 24,500–24,400 zone. On the upside, 25,000 remains the key decisive level for a move toward 25,500. The GIFT Nifty is hinting at a positive start this morning. Among stocks in focus today: Sammaan Capital, Biocon, Aarti Drugs, and Varun Beverages.

Bulls staged a healthy comeback after a day of bearish action, lifting the Nifty 50 higher by 135 points on September 3. However, the index still could not surpass the previous day’s high of 24,756 — a crucial hurdle that will determine the strength of the next upmove. While sentiment improved after Monday’s slide, technical and momentum indicators continue to paint a mixed picture. Experts note that a decisive reclaim and sustain above 24,750 could pave the way for a rally towards 24,800, which coincides with the 50-day EMA, and eventually the psychologically key 25,000 mark. On the flip side, if the index fails to hold this zone, consolidation is likely to continue, with immediate support placed at 24,500 and a strong support zone seen at 24,400–24,300. Meanwhile, the GST Council has cleared the much-awaited two-slab rate structure, a move expected to provide a big boost to consumption and investment sentiment. Autos, FMCG, cement and insurance are the sectors likely to benefit the most and will remain in sharp focus in today’s trade.

The Nifty 50 failed to hold on to follow-up buying on September 2, slipping 176 points from the day’s high to close 0.2 percent lower. The index was unable to sustain above the midline of the Bollinger Bands, tempering sentiment after Monday’s rebound. Analysts expect rangebound trade to persist until the benchmark climbs back above all key moving averages. On the downside, 24,400 is seen as immediate support, with 24,300–24,250 forming a crucial base. On the upside, resistance is pegged at 24,700–24,800, with 25,000 remaining a major hurdle. Meanwhile, the two-day GST Council meeting begins today, where the Centre’s proposal for a two-rate structure will be discussed. FMCG, Autos will continue to be in focus.

On the very day Prime Minister Modi walked alongside Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at the SCO Summit in Tianjin, U.S. President Donald Trump fired off a Truth Social post accusing India of a “one-sided” trade relationship, blaming tariffs, and warning that India’s oil deals with Russia “might be too late.”
His trade adviser Peter Navarro went further, calling India the “Maharaja of tariffs” and commenting on PM Modi’s diplomacy with Russia and China. Meanwhile, Trump has already imposed 50% tariffs on Indian exports, half for “unfair trade” and half as a penalty for Russian oil purchases.

Gold and silver prices surged to multi-month highs, driven by expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut and a weakening dollar. Spot gold neared its all-time high at \$3,493.10 per ounce, while silver crossed \$40 for the first time since 2011. In India, 24K gold hit Rs 105,880 per 10 grams and silver reached Rs 1.05 lakh per kilogram. This rally boosted gold and silver ETFs on the NSE, with ICICI and SBI Gold ETFs gaining over 1.6%, and HDFC Silver ETF surging 4.58%. Rising demand for silver from the EV and solar sectors, along with a five-year supply deficit, has intensified interest. ETF inflows for silver reached a three-year high, while global gold ETF holdings climbed to 3,656.7 tonnes. Upcoming Indian festivals and weddings are expected to fuel further physical demand. Analysts predict continued momentum amid global economic uncertainty and supportive monetary policy trends.

Indian equity market bounced back smartly on September 1 after a three-day slide, taking support at 24,420 and ending 0.8% higher to kick off the week on a positive note. That said, sentiment remains cautious, with experts flagging 24,630, the 100-day EMA, as the key hurdle. A sustained move above this level could power the Nifty towards 24,700-24,800 and even 25,000, while a break below 24,420 may drag it back to the August low of 24,330. This morning, GIFT Nifty is pointing to a gap-up open on what will be the index’s first Tuesday F&O expiry. Stocks in focus today include Hero MotoCorp, Hyundai Motor India, and IGL.

It's not every day that you get the doyens of Infosys together on one platform. A few weeks ago, Moneycontrol’s Chandra R Srikanth was in conversation with Infosys veterans Nandan Nilekani, NRN Murthy and Salil Parekh where they spoke about why the Indian IT industry cannot be written off, winning in the AI era and the skills that will help techies thrive.
"I think there are many times in the past when such obituaries have been written. So, whenever there's a major technology shift or a major business model shift, people say that. But I'm very, very confident that in the current environment with the advent of AI, not only certainly at Infosys we can say that not only will we master this technology capability, but we’ll also actually use it to our advantage to again move forward and become even more critical to the world's technology needs" Nilekani said.
