Despite the uptick on Thursday morning, V Ok Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, identified the home and world strain factors.

“With Nifty dipping below the 23500 resistance, the market construct has turned weak. Technically the market is vulnerable to further correction, and the fundamental macro trends continue to deteriorate. Brent crude has spiked above USD 101 and the U.S. 10-year yield has moved up to 4.83%,” Vijayakumar stated.

At the time of reporting, Brent Crude stood at USD 101.02 per barrel (-0.18%), whereas Crude Oil edged up barely by USD 0.05 (+0.05%) to USD 96.10. At the identical time, Gold posted modest features, advancing by USD 9.65 (+0.22%) to succeed in USD 4,407.80.

“The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are deteriorating and the market is giving no heed to Trump’s tall talk that ‘the war will end immediately after the election (US mid-term)’,” Vijayakumar added. “Even though India’s forex reserves are comfortable and the current account deficit is under control, if crude remains above USD 100 for an extended period of time, it will impact India’s GDP growth this year with its fallout on corporate earnings too.” 

He talked about that the sectors which are more likely to be impacted are vitality delicate sectors like aviation, paints, adhesives, tyres and chemical compounds. In such an setting defensives like FMCG and sectors with inelastic demand like prescribed drugs and healthcare will stay resilient. Growth sectors like digital platform firms will proceed to be on robust footing. 

“Even though banking stocks, particularly the large private sector players, are technically weak, they are fundamentally strong. The risk-reward ratio in this segment favours reward, for long-term investors,” Vijayakumar stated. 

Analysing the market construction, Rajesh Palviya, Head of Research at Axis Direct, famous the strain from world benchmarks.

“Asian markets are also trading lower this morning, extending the cautious global tone as elevated crude prices weigh on risk appetite. Gold remains firm near USD 4,400 an ounce on safe-haven demand, while Brent above USD 101 a barrel remains a significant inflationary headwind for India. With Asian cues weak and GIFT Nifty indicating a subdued start, the Nifty is likely to open on a soft-to-negative note,” Palviya stated.

At the time of reporting, Asian indices commerce decrease, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 down 0.71 per cent, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng declining 1.51 per cent, and the Straits Times falling 0.67 per cent, whereas GIFT Nifty traded marginally increased at 23,513.50 factors.

In the US market, Dow Jones Futures traded up by 0.35 per cent, even because the S & P 500 is down 0.48 per cent at 7,636.36 factors and the Nasdaq off 0.64 per cent at 26,253.34 factors.

“Technically, the undertone remains fragile as long as the Nifty trades below the 23,600 resistance zone. The immediate support is placed near 23,350, and a decisive break below this level could extend the decline towards 23,150. However, any moderation in crude prices or easing of geopolitical tensions could trigger a relief rebound. For now, traders should remain cautious, with volatility likely to stay elevated,” he added.
