Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Data on the output of manufacturing activities showing fragility

Triggered by the recent stimulus policies by the Chinese central bank, funds are shifting to cheaper Chinese stocks from expensive markets like India. This, along with the possible increase in interest rates by the BoJ due to recent political changes, may impact the domestic market in the near term. The recent data on the output of the key infrastructure segments and manufacturing activities is showing some fragility.

Meanwhile, OPEC’s plans to increase production are resulting in the oil prices falling. Domestically, the market awaits the upcoming RBI's policy meeting and Q2 results to have further insights on market trajectory.

Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: A decisive break below 25,750 could push Nifty50 to 25,600 and 25,500

Nifty formed a doji pattern with a long upper shadow on the daily chart, indicating market indecision. Heavy call writing at 25800 suggests it may act as strong resistance if sustained.

Immediate support lies at 25750, and a decisive break below this could push the index to 25600/25500. On the higher side, a move above 25800 may propel Nifty towards 26050, where sellers could become active again.
