    Analysis \u2013 what moved the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. GST rate cut boost for auto & capital goods<\/strong> \u2013 The government\u2019s rationalisation of goods\u2011and\u2011services tax rates on automobiles led carmakers to announce price cuts (Tata\u00a0Motors up to \u20b91.45\u00a0lakh, Mahindra up to \u20b91.5\u00a0lakh, Hyundai up to \u20b92.4\u00a0lakh). Expectations of a demand revival ahead of the festive season triggered broad buying in auto and capital\u2011goods stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Mixed global cues<\/strong> \u2013 U.S. equities closed lower last week after a soft non\u2011farm payrolls report raised hopes of rate cuts; however, Asian markets (Nikkei +1.52\u00a0%, Hang\u00a0Seng +0.30\u00a0%) were resilient. Crude oil traded near US$62.7\/bbl<\/strong> and U.S. 10\u2011yr Treasury yields hovered around 4.08\u00a0%<\/strong>. These cues kept risk appetite supported but capped upside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Sector rotation<\/strong> \u2013 Investors rotated funds out of expensive defensives (IT, FMCG, pharma) into cyclicals like auto, metals and PSU banks. This rotation kept indices buoyant despite profit\u2011taking in tech stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Macro caution<\/strong> \u2013 Market participants remained wary ahead of domestic inflation and industrial output data due later in the week. Volatility index at 10.78 signalled complacency, but options positioning showed put\u2011writing near 24,700 and call\u2011writing near 24,900\u201325,000, reflecting a range\u2011bound outlook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Global cues and commodities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • U.S. markets<\/strong>: The Dow and S&P\u00a0500 ended lower on Friday as weak jobs data raised hopes of a pause in Federal Reserve rate hikes. U.S. futures were mildly positive before the release of consumer\u2011price data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Asian markets<\/strong>: Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 rallied 1.5\u00a0% on optimism over corporate earnings, and China\u2019s Shanghai Composite advanced slightly; Hong\u00a0Kong\u2019s Hang\u00a0Seng edged up 0.3\u00a0%. European markets were flat in early trade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Commodities<\/strong>: WTI crude hovered around US$62.8<\/strong> per barrel. Gold remained above US$3,648\/oz<\/strong> amid safe\u2011haven buying. Copper prices were steady, supporting metal stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Currencies & Bonds<\/strong>: The rupee remained range\u2011bound around\u00a0\u20b983 per dollar. U.S. 10\u2011year Treasury yields dipped slightly to 4.08\u00a0%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Stocks to watch & corporate updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Vedanta<\/strong> \u2013 Received board approval to acquire Jaiprakash Associates\u2019 cement unit, subject to regulatory clearances. The move could strengthen Vedanta\u2019s diversification strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • SpiceJet<\/strong> \u2013 Reported a first\u2011quarter FY26 net loss of ~\u20b9560\u00a0crore due to rising fuel costs and currency depreciation; the stock may remain under pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Aurobindo\u00a0Pharma<\/strong> \u2013 The U.S. FDA issued observations for its Telangana facility. Investors should watch for remediation measures and potential product approvals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hyundai\u00a0Motor India<\/strong> \u2013 Announced price cuts of up to \u20b92.4\u00a0lakh to fully pass on GST benefits. The move may intensify competition in the passenger vehicle segment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • BHEL<\/strong> \u2013 Signed a memorandum of understanding with Greenstat Hydrogen to develop hydrogen fuel\u2011cell rolling stock; the partnership underscores BHEL\u2019s push into clean\u2011energy solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Technical outlook for 09\u00a0September\u00a02025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Nifty\u00a050<\/strong> \u2013 The index closed above its 20\u2011, 100\u2011 and 200\u2011day moving averages but remained below the 50\u2011day EMA. RSI at ~49 indicates neutral momentum. Immediate support lies at 24,623<\/strong>, followed by 24,406<\/strong>; major resistance levels are 24,838<\/strong>, 25,020<\/strong> and 25,187<\/strong>. Options data show strong put writing at 24,700 and call writing at 24,900\u201325,000, suggesting a range of 24,600\u201325,000<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Bank\u00a0Nifty<\/strong> \u2013 Closed near 54,115<\/strong>; RSI around 38 signals oversold conditions. Support levels are at 53,728<\/strong> and 53,379<\/strong>; resistance levels are 54,280<\/strong>, 54,720<\/strong> and 55,248<\/strong>. A close above 54,280 could trigger a short\u2011covering rally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sensex<\/strong> \u2013 Immediate support at 80,695<\/strong>; resistance near 81,049<\/strong>, 81,452<\/strong> and 81,999<\/strong>. RSI around 47 indicates neutral momentum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Outlook for tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            The market is expected to open with a cautiously positive tone<\/strong> on Tuesday, supported by strong domestic macros and resilient global cues. However, the following factors may dictate intraday direction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Economic data<\/strong> \u2013 Investors await India\u2019s August CPI inflation and industrial production data later this week; a higher\u2011than\u2011expected inflation print could trigger volatility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. U.S. CPI & Fed meeting<\/strong> \u2013 Upcoming U.S. inflation data will influence global risk sentiment and the rupee; any surprise may prompt swings in IT and banking stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Auto demand traction<\/strong> \u2013 Continued enthusiasm in auto stocks could support the headline indices, but profit\u2011booking may emerge at higher levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. FII flows<\/strong> \u2013 Sustained domestic institutional buying is likely to cushion dips; foreign flows may remain choppy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Technical tone:<\/strong> Nifty is likely to trade within 24,600\u201325,000<\/strong> with a positive bias. A break above 25,020<\/strong> could open the gate for a move towards 25,200<\/strong>, while a dip below 24,600<\/strong> may lead to retest of 24,400<\/strong>. Traders should use intraday dips to accumulate quality auto, metal and PSU banking names while being cautious on high\u2011valuation IT and FMCG stocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
