🌍 Global & Macro Cues

page1 Mid-Day Market
  1. Rupee under pressure: Slid nearly 1% over two weeks, now around ₹86.27/USD, weighed down by dollar demand and fading tariff deal hopes.
  2. Debt trust demand: Indian REITs and InvITs raised ₹17,800 Cr in H1 amid falling yields, supporting bond-market appetite.
  3. FII flows soft: Foreign equity outflows ($333m in July so far) persist, though Q1 earnings from banks are offering localized support.
  4. Trade deal watch: Markets are monitoring U.S.–India talks with the Aug 1 tariff deadline looming; clarity could influence sentiment.

🔔 Intraday Watchlist

  • ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank: Watch if gains extend post Q1 could fuel further financial buying.
  • Reliance Industries: Track for retracement or stability following its profit-driven pullback.
  • Rupee & bond yields: Any sharp USD strength may pressure financial stocks despite earnings.
  • Support-Resistance Zones: Nifty: 24,900 support, 25,100–25,150 resistance. Bank Nifty: 56,800–57,000 range.

✅ Mid‑Day Summary

The Indian market is staging a modest mid-day recovery, led by strong Q1 earnings from private banks. Financials especially Bank Nifty are outperforming, while Reliance dampens energy sector momentum. Technical action shows an upward tilt, but sustaining above 25,100 will confirm broader strength. Meanwhile, the rupee and trade headlines remain key macro monitors for the afternoon.
