Index Update: The Nifty 50 rose 0.57% to close at 24,821.10 but remained below its 51-day Simple Moving Average of 25,050.87, indicating ongoing consolidation and softening momentum. The RSI at 42.05 suggests prevailing bearish pressure. Key support is seen at 25,053.62, with a break potentially leading to 24,400. Conversely, a sustained move above 25,400 could shift sentiment positively, opening the path toward the 26,000 level.

Macro Update: India’s industrial production grew just 1.5% in June 2025, the slowest in 10 months, as mining and electricity output contracted. The rupee fell to 86.6/USD amid stalled U.S. trade talks and rising tariff risks. With inflation dropping to a six-year low of 2.1%, markets anticipate continued RBI rate cuts ahead.

Top Market Movers: On Tuesday, Jio Financial Services Ltd (NSE: JIOFIN) led the gainers with a 4.47% increase, closing at INR 321.10 followed by Larsen and Toubro Ltd (NSE: LT) up 2.14% at INR 3,495.60, and Reliance Industries Ltd (NSE: RELIANCE) which rose 2.13% to INR 1,417.10. On the downside, SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd (NSE: SBILIFE) saw the largest drop, falling 0.92% to INR 1,833.40 followed Axis Bank Ltd (NSE: AXISBANK) down 0.88% to INR 1,064.20 and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (NSE: TCS), which dropped 0.76% to INR 3,056.00.

Commodity Update: The euro continued to struggle after the U.S.-EU trade deal largely favoured the U.S., dampening optimism for Europe’s economy. Gold saw a slight rise of 0.023% to $3,374.70, while silver jumped 0.27% to $38.31. Copper dipped 0.04% to $9,792.90. Brent crude gained 0.10% to $70.09, driven by supply concerns after President Trump shortened Russia’s war deadline and positive U.S. trade developments eased EU tariff fears, raising hopes for higher energy demand.

Our Stance: Maintaining a cautious outlook as Nifty remains below key resistance and momentum softens. Industrial growth weakness and falling inflation reinforce expectations of further RBI rate cuts. Global trade tensions and currency volatility add to near-term uncertainty. Focus stays on defensive sectors and quality large caps amid mixed macro signals and earnings sensitivity.
