🔍 Market Trend & Outlook
- Broader uptrend: Midcap and smallcap stocks are extending their rally, outpacing benchmark indices, supported by sustained domestic inflows.
- Steady bluechips: Sensex and Nifty continue their mild rebound after Wednesday's consolidation, with banking and financials supporting early gains.
- IT remains weak: Nifty IT lags amid global tech softness and stock-specific volatility. Keep an eye on sector earnings for possible reversal signals.
- Volatility low: India VIX unmoved, indicating continued calm for now, though earnings and global macro events could stir volatility.
📈 What to Watch Out For
- Earnings watch: Results from key index heavyweights like Hindustan Unilever, ICICI Bank, and L&T Infotech may set the tone for sectoral moves.
- Support for Nifty: 25,180 remains a key intraday support; resistance at 25,300–25,350.
- Global cues: Wall Street mixed overnight; global inflation prints, crude oil prices, and Fed commentary could influence sentiment.
- Stock prediction: Expect stock-specific momentum in capital goods, banks, and selective FMCG counters; IT stocks may see further downside if global trends persist.
