📈 Technical Outlook
- Nifty is nearing resistance around 25,500, with immediate support near 25,430. A decisive break above 25,500 could pave the way to 25,550–25,600; failure to hold just above 25,400 may invite a pullback to 25,350.

- Fin Nifty strongly aligned with financials’ trend and could challenge its recent peak around 26,950–27,000.
🌍 Global & Macro Drivers
- Tariff uncertainty: U.S.—BRICS tolls still looming ahead of July 9; Indian markets remain highly sensitive to potential trade actions.
- Currency volatility: The rupee dropped ~0.5% yesterday to hit 85.85/USD, weighed by tariff concerns and dollar strength.
- SEBI vs Jane Street: SEBI’s ban on Jane Street (with $567M seized) highlights regulator crackdown; implications for Bank Nifty derivative flows are notable.
- Bond yields & liquidity: RBI’s liquidity ops and stable 10-year yield at ~6.29% act as a backdrop for FI flows.
📰 What to Track This Afternoon
- Tariff headlines by July 9: May reshape Foreign Portfolio Inflows (FPIs).
- Rupee levels: A move above ₹86 could pressure importing sectors.
- Derivative unwinds: Especially in Bank Nifty amid SEBI actions.
- Corporate catalysts: Watch for updates from HDFC, SBI, Kotak, Reliance.
✅ Mid‑Day Takeaway
A financials-led rebound is the highlight, even as macro concerns swirl around trade tariffs and currency stress. Nifty and Bank Nifty charts are bullish short-term given that 25,500 and 57,300 are sustained. Deep sector bifurcation across financials, FMCG, and energy versus laggards in tech and metals provides tactical opportunities.
