Market Surge on Trade Optimism: Sensex closed above 84,065 (+485 pts, 0.58%), Nifty at 25,867 (+174 pts, 0.68%), Bank Nifty near 60,669 (+550 pts, 0.91%).

Global markets ended the week on a strong risk‑on note, with the Dow closing above fifty thousand for the first time and both the S&P five hundred and Nasdaq delivering solid gains led by AI and semiconductor stocks.Amazon dragged after outlining a massive AI‑driven capex plan, while Stellantis slumped on a large charge tied to its electric‑vehicle strategy, underscoring stock‑specific volatility beneath the upbeat index moves.Indian ADRs for Infosys, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Reliance all closed higher, signalling a constructive bias for large private banks, a stabilising tone for IT, and supportive cues for energy as Indian markets open.Asian markets are taking their cues from Friday’s closes: Japan’s Nikkei stayed firm, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Shanghai remained cautious on China growth and property concerns, while GIFT Nifty futures point to a flat‑to‑slightly‑positive start for the Nifty fifty.Globally, central banks like the ECB and Bank of England are holding rates steady with a tilt towards eventual cuts, while a new interim India–US trade deal cutting US tariffs on Indian goods boosts the medium‑term outlook for exporters in pharma, textiles, engineering and specialty chemicals.Commodities are sending mixed signals: crude is subdued versus past peaks, copper is firm near its highs, and gold and silver have surged sharply on safe‑haven demand and rate‑cut expectations, potentially adding momentum to bullion‑linked and metals plays.On the domestic front, RBI has kept the repo rate unchanged with a neutral stance, but eased conditions for bank lending to REITs and raised collateral‑free MSME loan limits, supporting real estate, MSME‑focused lenders and broader credit growth.Indian equities ended Friday in the green, with Nifty, Sensex and Bank Nifty all closing higher; FMCG and private banks outperformed, IT lagged, and FIIs turned net buyers even as domestic institutions booked some profits.SEBI’s tighter F&O framework is reshaping intraday and options trading, with stricter position limits, eligibility rules and margin surveillance making leverage management and risk control critical for derivatives traders.Key technical zones to monitor are twenty five thousand five hundred sixty to twenty five thousand eight hundred on Nifty and fifty nine thousand eight hundred to sixty thousand four hundred on Bank Nifty, which are likely to define the day’s trading bias.The core message for traders is “optimism with guardrails”: ride the global tailwinds and supportive domestic policy backdrop, but avoid chasing gaps, manage position size and leverage, and respect clearly defined support and resistance zones.For investors, the focus remains on long‑term themes like financials, consumption, formal real estate and export‑oriented sectors rather than short‑term hype around AI or commodity spikes, with an eye on how global moves filter into Indian sentiment through the day.

Global equities cooled off overnight as the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 all slipped, led by profit booking in stretched US tech and software names.A rotation out of high‑growth technology into relatively defensive and value pockets drove the move, with fintech and some AI‑linked stocks under pressure.PayPal was among the big losers after weak guidance, while select defense and data analytics names still gained on strong earnings and visibility.In Indian ADRs, Infosys fell sharply in line with global tech weakness, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank saw mild profit taking, while Reliance ADRs rose strongly on optimism around energy, telecom and retail.Asian markets reflected the US risk‑off tone, with the Nikkei easing from recent highs, the Hang Seng broadly flat to slightly negative and Shanghai hugging the unchanged line.Gift Nifty futures traded slightly lower, pointing to a flat to mildly soft start for the Nifty 50 after a blockbuster rally in the previous cash session.Globally, gold and silver rebounded sharply from last week’s plunge, signalling renewed demand for safety and driving interest in mining and precious‑metal related stocks.Crude oil edged higher on expectations of tighter OPEC+ supply and ongoing geopolitical tensions, supporting upstream energy names but posing cost risks for fuel‑heavy sectors.Hawkish messaging from US policymakers and expectations of a “higher for longer” Federal Reserve path kept hopes of rapid rate cuts in check, adding to volatility across risk assets.On Dalal Street, the Nifty 50 and Sensex both surged more than two and a half percent in the prior session, powered by banks, capital‑goods and beneficiaries of the India–US trade deal and Budget optimism.Bank Nifty rallied strongly with heavy buying in major private and public sector lenders, signalling renewed confidence in the financials space.Traders remain alert to any fresh SEBI or exchange guidelines around F&O leverage and weekly expiries that could quickly alter intraday volatility.Key technical levels for Nifty include support around twenty five thousand four hundred and twenty five thousand two hundred, with resistance near twenty five thousand eight hundred fifty and then twenty six thousand one hundred.For Bank Nifty, immediate support is placed near fifty nine thousand five hundred and fifty nine thousand one hundred, while resistance sits around sixty thousand eight hundred and then sixty one thousand five hundred.Commodity swings, especially in gold, silver and crude, are set to influence Indian metal, energy and export‑import sensitive sectors through the day.The day’s game plan emphasises disciplined risk management: avoid chasing gap‑ups, focus on quality large caps with solid earnings, and use clearly defined support and resistance levels to guide entries and profit‑taking.
Record Rally Day: Nifty 50 closed at twenty-six thousand three hundred eight (up 2.79%), Sensex at eighty-five thousand three hundred twenty-three (up 2.54%), Bank Nifty at sixty thousand eleven (up 2.4%). Markets hit intraday highs amid strong bullish sentiment post-budget optimism and value hunting.Rupee Strength: INR closed at 90.12/USD, slightly stronger, supporting equity inflows despite global pressures.Top Gainers: Bajaj Finance, M&M, Wipro led Nifty gains on banking/auto momentum. Mid/small-caps in biotech/pharma shone amid regulatory positivity.Losers: Defense (L&T) and railway stocks saw profit-booking after prior rallies.Technical Action: Nifty support at 25,200-25,300 held; broke 26,000 resistance. Bank Nifty cleared 58,500, tested 59,000—bullish momentum confirmed.Sector Stars: Banking topped (budget FDI norms), followed by infra/auto. Defense/pharma lagged on rotation.SEBI Updates: New Stock Brokers Regulations 2026 simplifies compliance (59 to 29 pages), boosts broker confidence. Margin trading net-worth proposals enhance stability.Commodities Surge: MCX Gold at ₹1,50,298/10g (+4.38%), Silver near ₹2,50,000/kg (+5-6%)—safe-haven rebound. Crude stable ~₹5,900/bbl.Geopolitics: Trade/tariff clarity favors India as stable EM play.Tomorrow Outlook: Nifty eyes 26,350-26,500 resistance, support 25,800-25,900. Bank Nifty targets 60,200-60,600, support 59,500. Healthy breadth, watch global cues.Actionable Tip: Monitor financials/capital goods breakouts above key levels; use tight stops on options leverage.
