\"nifty<\/figure>\n\n\n

Indian equities started September 17<\/strong> on a firm note. Both the Nifty 50<\/strong> and Sensex<\/strong> opened higher, with early gains supported by sustained domestic buying and softer volatility. Positive flows from domestic institutional investors (DIIs) outweighed continued selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Asian markets were mostly higher \u2013 particularly Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng<\/strong>, while U.S. stocks closed slightly lower overnight as investors awaited the U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s policy decision. India VIX<\/strong>, a gauge of market volatility, eased further below 11, reflecting stable sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stocks & corporate updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • RailTel<\/strong> \u2013 awarded a \u20b9105.7\u00a0cr contract by Bihar\u2019s education project to install smart classrooms, boosting its order book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Blue\u00a0Dart<\/strong> \u2013 received a GST demand notice exceeding \u20b9420\u00a0cr, leading to uncertainty around potential liabilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Akzo\u00a0Nobel\u00a0India<\/strong> \u2013 India\u2019s competition regulator approved JSW Paints\u2019 proposal to acquire up to a 75% stake via share purchase and open offer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tech\u00a0Mahindra<\/strong> \u2013 LIC increased its shareholding by about two percentage points to 10.84%, signalling institutional confidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bharat\u00a0Electronics (BEL)<\/strong> \u2013 secured new orders worth about \u20b9712\u00a0cr for IT infrastructure, cybersecurity and defence systems since 1\u00a0September, underscoring its strong execution pipeline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Market movements & global cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Domestic factors<\/strong>: Indian equities opened higher as traders took cues from a strong close in the prior session and continued support from DIIs. Lower volatility (India\u00a0VIX below 11) and expectations of further policy support kept sentiment firm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Global influences<\/strong>: U.S. markets edged lower overnight ahead of a key Federal Reserve interest\u2011rate decision, while Asian peers, notably the Hang\u00a0Seng index, rallied on optimism over Chinese economic support measures. Crude oil prices slipped marginally, and U.S. bond yields were steady, suggesting no major flight to safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sectoral highlights<\/strong>: Banks and consumer stocks led gains; heavyweights such as SBI<\/strong> and BEL<\/strong> buoyed indices. Auto and insurance names were the main laggards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Outlook for tomorrow (18 September 2025)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Support\/resistance<\/strong>: Technical levels suggest near\u2011term support for Nifty\u00a050<\/strong> at around 25,037<\/strong> and 24,912<\/strong>, with resistance at 25,441<\/strong> and 25,566<\/strong>. Sensex<\/strong> support is around 81,743\/81,349<\/strong>, with resistance near 83,018\/83,412<\/strong>. Bank Nifty<\/strong> support lies near 54,764\/54,527<\/strong> and resistance at 55,531\/55,768<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Expectations<\/strong>: The underlying trend remains cautiously bullish as long as DIIs continue to absorb FII selling. However, investors may stay guarded ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting results and key economic data from Europe and the U.K. A decisive move above Nifty 25,441<\/strong> could pave the way for a test of 25,600<\/strong>, while failure to hold 25,037<\/strong> may trigger profit\u2011taking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Key watch points<\/strong>: Global central\u2011bank commentary, U.S.\u2013India trade\u2011talk developments, and commodity price movements (oil and metals). Domestic macro releases, such as inflation and industrial\u2011production numbers, will also influence sentiment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
