Index Update: The Nifty 50 gained 18.70 points to close at 25,953.85, following a gap-up start and ending the session in the green. The index now trades above its 50-day SMA at 25,786.88, supporting the near-term structure. Momentum remains balanced, with the RSI at 57.88, reflecting gradual improvement from recent lows. Immediate support is seen near 25,000, while resistance is placed around 26,500, with a sustained move above 26,350 needed to strengthen the near-term outlook.

Macro Update: India’s 10-year G-Sec yield eased to around 6.73% as investors remained cautious ahead of January inflation data, expected near 2.4%. Supportive liquidity conditions limited upside, while heavy state borrowings and debt auctions kept supply concerns in focus. Markets await further cues from RBI policy and liquidity measures.

Top Market Movers: On Wednesday, Eicher Motors Limited (NSE: EICHERMOT) led the gainers with a 6.51% increase, closing at INR 7,771.00 followed by Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited (NSE: APOLLOHOSP) up 3.99% at INR 7,507.00 and State Bank of India (NSE: SBIN) which rose 3.39% to INR 1.182.90. On the downside followed Tata Consultancy Services Limited (NSE: TCS) saw the largest drop, falling 2.51% to INR 2,909.80 followed Coal India Limited (NSE: COALINDIA) down 1.79% to INR 423.25 and Infosys Limited (NSE: INFY), which dropped 1.73% to INR 1,471.90.

Commodity Update: Commodity Update: The Japanese yen retained firm gains, supported by a rally in domestic equities and expectations that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s decisive election win may reinforce fiscal discipline. The U.S. dollar traded cautiously ahead of the non-farm payrolls report after softer economic indicators. Gold rose 0.91% to USD 5,076.70, silver gained 2.16% to USD 82.11, copper edged up 0.10%, and Brent crude advanced 0.60% to USD 69.18.

Our Stance: Market tone remains cautiously constructive as the Nifty holds above key moving averages, supported by stable liquidity and easing bond yields. However, resistance near 26,350–26,500 may limit immediate upside. Stock-specific action is likely to dominate, while inflation data, RBI signals, and global cues remain critical near-term drivers.
