Indian Stock Market Analysis: Sensex & Nifty Surge Amidst Global Uncertainties
Parkavi's insightful analysis reveals the latest trends in the Indian stock market, focusing on Sensex and Nifty movements amidst global economic uncertainties.
Market Overview: Sensex, Nifty Trends & US Market Impact
Tamilini: Hi Parkavi! I heard that the Indian equity benchmark indices extended their healthy gains this week. Can you explain what happened?
Parkavi: Absolutely, Tamilini. Sensex and Nifty surged 0.7% each. However, the broader markets ran out of steam, with BSE Midcap and SmallCaps indices declining 0.7% and 1.4% WoW respectively. Strong FII flows, optimism over reciprocal tariffs by the US, and the agreement between Russia and Ukraine on a ceasefire in the Black Sea contributed to the positive close for the week.
Tamilini: That sounds interesting! But what about the mid-week announcement by Trump?
Parkavi: Trump announced a 25% tariff on imports of automobiles and select auto components from April 02, which triggered fresh concerns over the growth of the US economy. Despite this, the final US GDP revision showed the economy grew 2.4% YoY in 4QCY24, revised higher from the earlier estimate of 2.3%.
Tamilini: So, the US economy is still growing, but at a slower pace compared to the previous quarter?
Parkavi: Exactly. The growth was lower than the 3.1% recorded in 3QCY24. Additionally, weekly jobless claims were largely unchanged at 224,000, almost in line with the forecast of 225,000.
Key Factors:
- Sensex and Nifty trends.
- US market impact on India.
- FII flows analysis.
Market Analysis: Nifty 50 Rebalancing & Brent Crude Oil Impact
Parkavi: Brent crude oil saw an increase of 1.4% during the week as the US imposed fresh sanctions on Venezuelan oil and gas. FII flows were robust, with net buying of Rs 27,392 crore in the cash market during the week. DIIs, on the other hand, net sold Rs 849 crore till 27th March.
Tamilini: What about the Nifty 50 index rebalancing?
Parkavi: Nifty 50 had a rebalancing this week, with Zomato and JIO Financial Services replacing Britannia and BPCL. Weekly sectoral performance was mixed on BSE, with Bankex, Capital Goods, FMCG, Power, Oil & Gas closing positive, while Metal, Realty, Auto, Healthcare, and Consumer Durables closed negative. The Auto sector was the biggest loser, down 2.3% WoW, mainly due to the negative development about US tariffs on auto imports.
Market Insights:
- Nifty 50 rebalancing details.
- Brent crude oil impact.
- Auto sector tariffs effects.
Looking Ahead: Stock Market Forecast India & Nifty 50 Support/Resistance
Tamilini: What should we expect next week?
Parkavi: Manufacturing and services PMI for March 2025 and monthly auto sales data released by companies will be key focus areas in the Indian market. Meanwhile, the US will release its manufacturing, services PMI, jobs report for March 2025, and jobless claims for the week ending 29th March. Various banks and NBFCs will start releasing their provisional business updates for 4QFY25, attracting focus to the BFSI sector.
Tamilini: What are the crucial levels to watch for Nifty 50?
Parkavi: The current chart structure indicates that Nifty 50 may continue its consolidation for the next couple of sessions before picking its next direction. On the upside, the zone of 23,720-23,750 remains a crucial hurdle. A decisive breakout above 23,750 could spark a fresh rally towards 24,100 followed by 24,400 in the short term. On the downside, the 23,400-23,350 zone serves as immediate support, with the 50-day EMA at 23,114 acting as the next crucial support if the index slips below 23,350.
Future Outlook:
- Stock market forecast India.
- Nifty 50 support and resistance.
- Indian market PMI data.
