Domestic markets displayed continued optimism, supported by the India–EU FTA. Broader indices outperformed, driven by strength in Metals, Financials, and Oil & Gas, while FMCG stocks saw profit-booking amid investor shift toward cyclical sectors. Global markets traded mixed as investors awaited the US Fed’s policy decision. Although the broad expectation is that rates are expected to stay unchanged, the focus is on the Fed Chair’s guidance on possible rate cuts later this year. At the same time, rising US–Iran tensions and uncertainty over global tariffs are expected to keep overall sentiment restrained

Nifty 50 ended higher after successfully defending the key support zone of 25,150–25,200, which coincides with the 200-EMA and the rising trendline, highlighting strong buying interest at lower levels. While the index continues to trade below its short-term moving averages—indicating near-term caution—immediate resistance is seen at 25,400–25,450, followed by a stronger supply zone at 25,600–25,650, aligned with the 20/50-EMA cluster. Momentum indicators point to easing selling pressure, with RSI stabilising near 40 and MACD signalling a slowdown in downside momentum. Intraday action reflected short covering and dip buying in the latter half, keeping the index range-bound with a mild positive bias. As long as 25,000 remains intact, the broader structure favours consolidation rather than a sharp breakdown.
