Equity Alert: Indices seen in range Tue; progress in US-India trade deal eyed

 

MUMBAI--0811 IST--Benchmark indices are expected to consolidate Tuesday as the market awaits fresh triggers for further upside, analysts said. One of the key triggers could be progress in trade deal negotiations between India and the US. US President Donald Trump early Tuesday hinted at some progress in the trade deal between the two countries, saying, "We're making a deal with India...I think we're pretty close to doing a deal that is good for everybody," The Economic Times quoted him as saying at an event. 

 

Until there are further concrete details on the trade deal, the market is likely to keep consolidating, analysts said. "Overall, Nifty 50 appears poised for range-bound movement as traders adopt a cautious stance ahead of key triggers...while the 25500–25350 zone is likely to act as a strong support base, the 25650–25750 zone remains the immediate resistance cluster," Dhupesh Dhameja, derivatives research analyst at SAMCO Securities, said in a note.

 

The November contract of the GIFT Nifty also indicates a muted start for the market. At 0808 IST, the contract was at 25722 points, up 16 points from its previous close. On Monday, the Nifty 50 had ended at 25574.35 points, up 82.05 points or 0.3%, having risen to 25653.45 points before facing selling pressure. The BSE Sensex closed the session at 83535.35 points, up 319.07 points or 0.4%.

 

Overnight, indices in the US surged as reports suggested that the longest government shutdown in the country's history could end this week due to a compromise that would restore federal funding being cleared by the Senate over the weekend. Technology stocks rebounded from last week's fall as the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained over 2%. Nvidia, Palantir, and Tesla surged 4-9%. Most Asian indices also gained in early trade Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi up over 2%.  (Akash Mandal)

Equity Alert: US markets rise on hopes of a likely end to US govt shutdown

 

MUMBAI--0735 IST--US markets ended higher Monday buoyed by technology stocks and positive sentiment driven by steps taken by the US Congress to soon put an end to the government shutdown there. A new bill quickly advanced in a key US Senate procedural vote overnight Sunday, after enough Democrats joined with Republicans to avoid any delay for the resolution to the prolonged government shutdown. 

 

Nvidia, Broadcom and other artificial intelligence related stocks led the gains in the Wall Street, as a possible end to the shutdown put investors in a risk-taking mood again. "We maintain our conviction that AI-related stocks should drive equity markets, and we believe underallocated investors should add exposure to the theme through a diversified approach," CNBC quoted Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, as saying.  

 

The S&P 500 index rose 1.5% and gained for the second straight session. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite rose over 2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 1%. 

 

In other news, the Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said Monday that a 50-basis-point rate cut would be appropriate for December, noting that inflation is falling while the unemployment rate is drifting higher, Reuters reported. 

 

Following are the closing levels of US indices overnight: 

 

INDEX	LAST LEVEL	CHANGE IN %
Dow Jones Industrial Average	47368.63	0.81
Nasdaq Composite	23527.17	2.27
S&P 500	6832.43	1.54
