• ✅ Cautiously Weak Start Expected: Indian Market Pre Market Report (January 30, 2026)

Indian Markets Pre Market Report Today’s setup is a classic “events + earnings” morning. Benchmarks are coming off a positive close, but GIFT Nifty is slightly in the red, while global cues are mixed (US tech-led softness, Europe split, Asia choppy). Add the Budget-weekend positioning and the street may stay selective rather than all-out risk-on.

🌍 Global Cues (Overnight)

🇺🇸 US Markets (Thursday close)

• Dow Jones: 49,071.56 (+0.11%)

• S&P 500: 6,969.01 (-0.13%)

Why it matters (one-liner): AI capex worries hit tech, pulling Nasdaq lower even as the Dow stayed resilient.👉Reuters.

• DAX: 24,309.46 (-2.07%)

• CAC 40: 8,127.95 (+0.06%)

Why it matters (one-liner): Europe was dragged by a sharp tech drop (SAP + broader tech weakness) while defensives/energy helped limit the damage elsewhere.

🌏 Asia (early indications)

• Asia is choppy; regional risk mood is cautious after US tech pressure, but the month is still tracking strong overall.

• Hang Seng was indicated higher around 27,968 (+0.51%) in early trade snapshots.

📌 GIFT Nifty (Today Morning)

• GIFT Nifty was seen around 25,426–25,465 in early trade updates, pointing to a slightly negative / muted start.

Quick read: Expect range-bound opening, with stock-specific action (earnings + budget positioning) dominating.

🎯 Indian Markets Pre Market Report Key Levels to Track Today (Support & Resistance)

🟦 Nifty 50 levels

• Immediate support: 25,350 → 25,250

• Immediate resistance: 25,520 → 25,650

Market logic: 25,350 is a strong “magnet zone” (options + psychology). A clean move above 25,520 can push momentum, but failure there may drag it back into the range.

🟩 Bank Nifty levels

• Support: 59,350 → 59,000

• Resistance: 60,050 → 60,400

Market logic: Bank Nifty is holding stronger than the headline index; if it sustains above 60k, it can keep Nifty supported even if IT stays soft.

🟥 Sensex levels

• Support: 82,000 → 81,650

• Resistance: 83,050 → 83,500

🧠 Derivatives Check (OI, PCR, Volatility)

🧾 Put-Call Ratio (PCR) – Nifty

• PCR (OI-based): ~0.98 (near neutral)

How to read it: Around 1.0 usually signals balanced positioning—no extreme fear/greed. Big trending moves often come only after PCR shifts meaningfully.

🌡️ India VIX (Volatility)

• India VIX: 13.37

Meaning: Volatility is not screaming panic—still, event risk (Budget + earnings) can spike intraday moves.

🧾 FII & DII Data (Cash Market – Latest)

• FII: -₹393.97 Cr (net sellers)

• DII: +₹2,638.76 Cr (net buyers)

Desk takeaway: DIIs continue to be the stabilizer; FIIs remain tactical.

🏢 Major Q3 Results Spotlight (2 Stocks) + Likely Market Impact

✅ 1) ITC (Q3)

• Consolidated PAT: ~₹4,931 Cr (flat YoY)

• Revenue: up ~7%

• Interim dividend: ₹6.50/share

Market impact angle: ITC is a “quality defensive.” Flat profit won’t excite momentum traders, but dividend + steady topline can support the stock on dips, especially if the broader market turns cautious.

✅ 2) Vedanta (Q3)

• Net profit: ₹5,710 Cr (about +61% YoY)

Market impact angle: Strong numbers keep the metal theme alive. If commodities stay firm, Vedanta + linked metal names can remain leadership pockets even in a sideways index.

🏦 SEBI Updates (New Rule / Regulation)

SEBI has notified SEBI (Stock Brokers) Regulations, 2026, replacing the older 1992 framework—bringing a consolidated rulebook covering registration, obligations, governance, and investor protection aspects.

Practical market impact: For most investors, the impact is indirect—cleaner compliance + stronger investor protection tends to improve confidence over time. In the near term, markets usually react more to liquidity, earnings, and macros.

🪙 Commodities & Currencies (Today Morning)

🟨 Gold / ⚪ Silver (global cues)

• Gold ~₹1,69,600/10g and silver ~₹4,01,302/kg have been extremely volatile this week; sharp moves have been driven by risk-off flows and USD swings.

🛢️ Crude Oil

• Brent: ~$68.29/bbl

• WTI: ~$64.15/bbl

Why it matters for India: Higher crude can pressure inflation + the rupee, and it can cap upside in rate-sensitive sectors if it sustains.

💱 Currency (USD/INR) + Dollar Index

• USD/INR: recent prints have been around 91.95– 92.0 range.

🧭 Strategy: What to Do Today (Short-term vs Long-term)

📌 Short-term (1–7 days)

• If Nifty holds 25,350, dip-buying can work with tight risk.

• Avoid over-leverage: event risk can create sudden spikes.

• Prefer results-led trades (quality beats speculation).

Trading bias today: mildly cautious, range-to-slight-negative, unless GIFT Nifty flips green and Bank Nifty sustains above 60k.

🏗️ Long-term (3–24 months)

• Stay with a core basket: large banks + quality consumption + select industrials.

• Use volatility to add in tranches rather than trying to time bottoms/tops.

• If crude remains elevated, keep some exposure to energy/commodities as a hedge.

✅ Summary (2 lines)

• Domestic trend is positive, but today’s open may be muted due to negative GIFT cues + mixed global risk mood.

• Watch 25,350 on Nifty and 60,000 on Bank Nifty—these two will decide whether the day turns into a trend session or a range day.
