 Global Market Trends:

Asian Markets:

  • South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 and China's Shanghai SSE Composite were trading lower.
  • Hong Kong's Hang Seng was trading positive.
  • US Markets (Tuesday): Most closed lower, under pressure from inflation data.

 Expert Thought:

VK Vijayakumar, Geojit Financial:

The market has been moving in a range for the past two months. A breakout above Nifty 25,500 needs a strong trigger - perhaps a trade deal with the US with tariffs around 20%. But unless earnings improve, even that cannot lead to a long-term rally."

IT services and FMCG (consumption sector) earnings look weak.

 FII activity:

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought Indian shares worth ₹120.47 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

However, market trends suggest that selling pressure continues, possibly due to global concerns.

 Crude Oil Update:

  • Brent crude (global oil benchmark): up 0.20% at $68.85 per barrel

 Previous Day Summary (Tuesday, July 15):

  • Sensex: up 317.45 points (0.39%) at 82,570.91
  • Nifty: up 113.50 points (0.45%) at 25,195.80

Market Outlook:

Prashant Tapase, Mehta Equities:

Nifty may open on a cautious note as investors grapple with higher US inflation and ongoing tariff concerns.
