📰 Pre-Market Report | 03 September 2025
Indian Stock Market Outlook: Nifty 24,579 | Bank Nifty 53,661 | Sensex 80,157 | Fin Nifty 25,572
🌐 Global & Domestic Market Setup
Indian equities closed yesterday with mild weakness as traders remained cautious ahead of fresh global triggers.
- Nifty 50 settled at 24,579.60, unable to sustain above 24,650 resistance.
- Bank Nifty closed at 53,661.00, with PSU banks showing resilience while private banks lagged.
- Sensex ended at 80,157.88, mirroring global choppiness.
- Fin Nifty ended the day at 25,572.95, consolidating around its support.
Gift Nifty Update
Gift Nifty is indicating a mildly positive start, currently trading about +40 points above previous close, signaling a possible attempt at recovery if global cues support.
🌍 Global Market Cues
- Wall Street: US indices closed mixed overnight. The Dow Jones slipped 0.25%, while the Nasdaq gained 0.40% amid strong tech buying.
- US Treasury Yields: Bond yields remain elevated, signaling cautious institutional flows.
- Crude Oil: Brent crude prices are steady around $75 per barrel, but the big trigger for India is Russia offering deeper discounts.
- Geopolitical Cue: Russia has increased its oil discount for India to $3–4 per barrel, offsetting some inflationary pressure caused by Trump’s newly imposed 50% tariffs on Indian imports. This is a key macro support for India’s trade balance.
- Asian Markets: Mixed cues with Nikkei higher while Hang Seng continues to struggle with weak Chinese data.
📊 Technical Outlook – Nifty, Bank Nifty & Sensex
Nifty 50
- Key Resistance: 24,650 – 24,800 zone
- Immediate Support: 24,450 – 24,350
- Short-Term Outlook: Nifty needs a decisive close above 24,800 to confirm momentum. A failure to hold 24,335 could invite deeper correction toward 23,700–23,800, before resuming an upside move toward 28,000+ in the medium term.
Bank Nifty
- Resistance Zone: 54,200 – 54,500
- Support Zone: 53,200 – 53,000
- Private banks look weak while PSU banks remain strong. A breakdown below 53,000 may trigger deeper profit booking.
Sensex
- Resistance: 80,700
- Support: 79,500
- Consolidation continues; trend direction will depend on FIIs and US bond yields.
🏦 Sectoral View
- Banking & Financials: Weakness in private banks but PSU banks holding strength.
- Metals & Commodities: NMDC and BHEL show breakout setups; Russian oil discounts are positive for refiners and OMCs.
- IT Sector: Strong overnight Nasdaq gains may support IT stocks today.
- Auto Sector: Maruti remains in focus after strong rally; watch 14,750–15,000 resistance zone.
- Cement & Infra: Grasim nearing accumulation zone; cement sector trend remains positive.

🔑 Key Market Triggers to Watch

- FII/DII Flows: Continuous FII selling remains a concern; domestic institutions are providing support.
- Rupee Movement: Any strength in INR against USD will be supportive for equities.
📉 Nifty’s Probable Scenarios
- Scenario 1 (Bullish): If Nifty holds 24,335 and posts a positive close today, we may see gradual recovery toward 24,800–25,000 levels.
- Scenario 2 (Bearish): If Nifty slips below 24,335, deeper correction toward 23,700–23,800 can be expected before medium-term upside resumes.
✅ Trading Strategy for Today
- Intraday traders: Focus on IT (Infosys, TCS), Metals (NMDC, BHEL), and Cement (Grasim).
- Positional traders: NMDC and BHEL look attractive for swing trades.
- Options traders: Jubilant Food CE and BHEL CE have favorable setups.
- Investors: Monitor oil marketing companies (IOC, BPCL, HPCL) for positive impact from cheaper Russian crude.
📌 Conclusion
The market continues to remain in a consolidation phase, with 24,335 acting as a crucial support for Nifty. Sector rotation is in play, with metals, infra, and IT providing leadership while financials remain mixed.
Traders should adopt a stock-specific approach, keeping tight stop losses, while investors can use dips to accumulate quality names with strong fundamentals.
