Emerging Leaders: IT & Pharma

Consumer-facing Jubilant’s strength reflects resilient domestic demand and robust execution.
Financials: Fin Nifty & Bank Nifty Rally

Cement & Infrastructure: JSW Cement Debut
JSW Cement listed at ₹153.50 versus an issue price of ₹147, rallying 4% on debut. Valuation jumps to $2.38 billion reflect upbeat infrastructure sentiment, reinforcing infra-heavy themes.
Global Influence: Russia–U.S. Diplomacy
Markets trade cautiously ahead of the high-stakes Trump–Putin summit in Alaska. The tone there feeds directly into U.S.–India trade expectations and broader risk sentiment. (Reuters)
Inflation Trends: Domestic & Global

Technical & Intraday Strategy Insights:
| Index | Support | Resistance | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty | 24,620–24,640 | 24,700–24,750 | Buy dips near support; aim for 24,750 |

| Fin Nifty | 26,300–26,330 | 26,400–26,450 | Scaling entries on strength in PSU banks |
US–Russia talks could shift sentiment fast; position cautiously with tight stops.
Global & Macroeconomic Context:
- Geopolitics: The outcome of U.S.–Russia diplomacy may reshape U.S.–India tariff dynamics. Positive signals could ease export sector pressure.
- Near-term Forecast: Analysts expect bullish rotation into domestic names to persist, with small- and mid-cap breadth supported by sustained buying.
- Currency & Liquidity: The relatively stable rupee supports funding flows, while domestic liquidity remains healthy, cushioning against volatility.
Mid-Day Takeaway:
Following six weeks of losses, Indian markets are cautiously pushing higher. Tech, pharma, and infrastructure are driving momentum, while financials regain ground after consolidation. Key technical zones to monitor: Nifty 24,700, Bank Nifty 55,500. Global cues especially the US–Russia diplomacy and inflation data remain pivotal.
