📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • The Nifty50 closed above 25,000, recovering from an intraday drop to 24,400 due to a surprise 50% US tariff on India. The rebound reflects expectations of limited domestic impact, a robust Indian government response, and domestic reforms like GST rationalization (effective September 22), mitigating trade repercussions.

  • Positive US signals to resume trade talks bolstered sentiment, though global uncertainties (Russia-Ukraine tensions) persist. Fed rate cut hopes (post-soft U.S. jobs data) and supportive macros (potential RBI rate cut, monsoon benefits) sustain optimism, though range-bound trading is likely.

  • Analysts expect Nifty to consolidate around 25,000–25,300, with support at 24,900—monitor trade negotiations and Fed policy.

DO YOU KNOW?

The US’s unexpected 50% tariff, effective today, marks a sharp escalation from the prior 25% on steel/aluminum, prompting India to propose retaliatory tariffs and expedite trade talks.
