Nifty Holds Key Support Despite Global and Currency Pressures

Index Update: The Nifty 50 Index closed at 24,021.65, remaining above its 21-day SMA near 23,659.36, indicating a stable near-term technical structure. Recent price action reflects a recovery from earlier weakness, with the index continuing to trade within a higher range. The 14-day RSI stood near 56.24, suggesting moderately positive momentum conditions. Immediate support is placed near 23,781.43 and 23,541.22, while resistance is seen around 24,261.87 and 24,502.08. A sustained move beyond these levels could provide further direction for the index in the near term.

Macro Update: The Indian rupee weakened to a one-week low near 94.8 per dollar, pressured by a stronger US dollar and expectations of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes. However, lower crude oil prices, improving foreign debt inflows, and moderating equity outflows helped cushion losses, providing some support to India's external and capital flow position.

Top Market Movers: On Wednesday, InterGlobe Aviation Ltd. (NSE: INDIGO) led the gainers with a 4.95% increase, closing at INR 5,207.20 followed by Adani Enterprises Ltd. (NSE: ADANIENT) up 3.60% at INR 3,069.70 and Trent Ltd. (NSE: TRENT) which rose 3.31% to INR 3,247.00. On the downside followed Bajaj Auto Ltd. (NSE: BAJAJ-AUTO) saw the largest drop, falling 2.74% to INR 9,750.00 followed NTPC Ltd. (NSE: NTPC) down 2.07% to INR 357.05 and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (NSE: ONGC) which dropped 1.78% to INR 240.00.

Commodity Update: The U.S. dollar strengthened on Wednesday, holding near its highest level in more than a year as investors continued to assess the Federal Reserve’s recent hawkish policy stance. Risk sentiment remained cautious amid a global technology sector sell-off, prompting a shift toward defensive assets and currencies. Gold declined 1.83 points to USD 4,072.50, while silver slipped 1.33 points to USD 61.23. Copper edged higher by 0.14 points to USD 13,404.30. Brent crude oil eased 0.40 points to USD 76.76 amid improving Middle East supply expectations.

Our Stance: The Nifty 50 continues to hold above key moving average support, reflecting a constructive near-term trend. Moderately positive momentum and resilient price action may support further upside if resistance levels are breached. However, global uncertainties, currency weakness, and evolving monetary policy expectations could keep market sentiment cautious in the near term.
