Key Domestic and Global Market Drivers
Investors monitored continued foreign institutional investor selling, which was balanced by domestic institutional investors’ purchasing. The rupee remained stable but under mild pressure, influenced by crude oil prices holding above $100 a barrel amid geopolitical uncertainties. Overseas markets showed mixed cues with Asia trading cautiously and US markets having recent volatility. Gold and silver prices were volatile, adding caution to commodities and metals sectors.
Market participants also digested the ongoing global concerns including geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures which are influencing central bank policies worldwide. These factors combined to create a cautious yet upward momentum in Indian equities.
Outlook, Technical Levels, and Risks
Analysts suggest that the Nifty may encounter resistance near the 24,350 mark, with support levels visible around 24,100. Foreign selling and elevated crude prices present near-term risks, while domestic buying and improving corporate earnings provide support. The IT sector remains a concern due to uncertain global demand outlook. Market volatility is expected to remain elevated in the near term.
