Let’s Understand Yesterday’s Market:

  1. Nifty gained 80 points, closing around 24,270.
  2. The market opened lower and remained in consolidation mode. However, at exactly 12 PM, it witnessed a significant 130-point upward move, which was followed by an 80-point drop, eventually closing at 24,270. This movement was triggered by Adani Green Energy’s clarification on false allegations related to the bribery case.
  3. HDFC Bank hit an all-time high yesterday. For the past three years, it had been trading within a range of 1,300 to 1,800. Yesterday marked the first time it closed above 1,800.
  4. According to updates from the US Fed FOMC meeting minutes, there is a 70% probability of a rate cut in December.
  5. FIIs were net buyers with a value of ₹7 crores, and DIIs bought shares worth ₹1,301 crores. It has been several days since both these key players were net buyers.

Let’s Understand Today’s Cues :

  1. US markets closed lower, with the Nasdaq leading the decline. Tech stocks fell due to concerns that the Federal Reserve may remain cautious about a rate cut after strong US inflation data, which showed increased consumer spending in October.
  2. US bond yields traded flat.
  3. The dollar index is at 106.1, having recently fallen from 107.5. This is positive for broader markets but unfavorable for Indian export-related sectors such as IT and Pharma.
  4. GIFT Nifty indicates a slightly positive opening for Indian markets.
  5. India VIX fell by 4.4% yesterday.
  6. Due to the weekly expiry, volatility in derivatives may increase. Nifty support is expected around 24,150. If this level breaks, 24,000 will act as a crucial support. On the upside, resistance is likely in the 24,300-24,350 range.
