🔍 Sector Snapshot & Movers
🧑💻 IT
- Nifty IT index down over 1%, leading the charge lower following weak TCS results and softer earnings outlook from peers
🏦 Banking & Financials
- Bank Nifty eased 0.3%, financial-specific burden visible—particularly in private banks—amid residual drop in derivatives flows post-Jane Street episode.
🛒 FMCG & Consumer
- FMCG remained a relative safe haven; flat to mildly positive, with consumer staples absorbing market volatility.
🏗️ Auto and Metal
- Auto and Metal sectors under pressure, giving up intraday gains as broader negative tone takes over.
🛢️ Oil & Gas
- Energy stocks flat to slightly positive, bolstered by stable crude prices ($70/bbl Brent) and weaker rupee.
📉 Technical Analysis
- Nifty has broken below the 25,100–25,150 support zone, now aiming for 25,000–25,020. Below that, 24,900 becomes the next target.
- Bank Nifty trading within 56,600–56,700 a break below 56,600 may expose 56,300 support.
- Fin Nifty aligns with banking stresses, mirroring weak financial sector sentiment.
🌍 Global & Macro Cues
- Trump Tariffs: Announced 30% tariffs on EU/Mexico imports from August 1, highlighting global trade volatility.
- Rupee Pressure: Near 85.90/USD, dollar inflows and tepid risk appetite are keeping INR pinned.
- Wholesale Inflation: June WPI at –0.13%, easing industrial inflation but offering limited comfort as equity mood sours.
- Derivatives Slowdown: Options volumes remain muted post the Jane Street ban; Bank Nifty remains under pressure.
- Safe-haven Shift: Gold has rallied to a 3-week high amid global trade turmoil, as risk-off sentiment gathers pace.
🔔 Intraday Watchlist
- Infosys, HCL Tech & TechM: Upcoming IT earnings could extend today’s weakness or spark reversal.
- Rupee & Energy: INR holding near critical support; any weakness may buoy energy stocks.
- FI Flow Data: A forex inflows shift in next session could moderate selling pressure.
- Domestic Inflation Print: RBI’s liquidity stance may adjust based on tomorrow’s consumer price data.
✅ Mid‑Day Takeaway
Markets are firmly in risk-off territory: IT and financial sectors are under pressure on weak earnings and macro uncertainties. Defensive themes like FMCG and energy are stabilizing the downside, but broken technical levels across indices suggest further caution. The big holdout now is 25,000 on Nifty watch for whether it holds or gives way, and pivot off rate and tariff headlines!
