🌍 Global Market Highlights
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded Asia’s growth forecast for 2025 to 4.5%, up 0.6 percentage points from its April estimate, noting strong exports and intra-regional trade.
The IMF also cautions that global risks remain, especially from trade policies (notably U.S.), rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions.
Global equity indices vary: while U.S. indices are holding firm, Asian indices such as the Nikkei 225 are under pressure with recent declines.
📌 GIFT Nifty (Pre-Market India Indicator)
GIFT Nifty is trading around 25,917.50 (+161.50, +0.63%) as of early indication.
GIFT Nifty is a derivative contract linked to India’s Nifty 50 index, traded internationally (USD-denominated) via NSE International Exchange (NSE IX) in GIFT City. Because it trades outside India’s main session hours, GIFT Nifty offers an early signal of how Indian markets may open, influenced by global market action.
📈 Implications for Indian Markets
With global growth outlook improving (especially Asia), Indian equities may benefit — the stronger GIFT Nifty suggests positive sentiment ahead of the domestic session. However, the presence of global risks (trade, rates, geopolitics) means upside could be cautious and selective rather than broad-based.
The GIFT Nifty premium or discount relative to the domestic Nifty can hint at opening gap-ups or gap-downs in India’s market, which you as a front-end/back-end developer might consider capturing in a dashboard alert for traders.

📈 Derivatives Snapshot:
Open Interest & Sentiment
While specific OI and Put/Call Ratios aren’t published in this summary, available commentary flags hedging behaviour and elevated interest: e.g., rising market volatility suggesting cautious positioning.
Takeaway: Market strength continues, but visible hedging suggests participants are cautious; a strong breakout would require broad-based participation rather than just index heavyweights.
🆕 IPO / Primary Market Update
With strong appetite for new issues and bullish sentiment in equities, the primary market remains active.
Implication: IPO activity may absorb liquidity but also reflects investor risk-appetite.
For equity market watchers/developers: good time to track IPO flows, subscription levels, and platform UX enhancements for IPO distribution.
🛢 Commodity & Currency Update
Commodities:
Gold remains a hedge in volatile environment; festive demand and global cues could favour metals.
Currency:
The Indian rupee and global crude/oil remain key risk factors for markets.
Watch-out: A sharp move in crude oil, or USD/INR reversal, could impact margin-sensitive sectors and import heavy stocks.
📅 Weekly Range Forecast
Nifty 50: ~ 25,300 – 26,000
Bank Nifty: ~ 56,700 – 58,200
Sensex: ~ 83,300 – 85,000
Note: If indices break out/resist these zones decisively, next band shifts.
If they break support, downside risk increases.
🧭 Investment Ideas
Short-Term (weeks to 2-3 months)
Consider tactical buys near support zones (Nifty ~25,000, Bank Nifty ~56,700) with tight stop-loss.
If markets approach resistance zones (~26,000+ on Nifty), consider trimming or hedging.
Long-Term (12-36 months)
Focus on high-quality banking/financial stocks + infrastructure/digitalisation themes (given strong results and structural tailwinds).
Maintain some exposure to inflation/hedge assets (e.g., metals) given global uncertainties.
For you as a developer: Consider building dashboards/tracking tools for PCR, OI, IPO flows, sectoral momentum — there’s demand for intuitive UX in trader-/investor-tools.
