Nifty Outlook Today
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, With the last three days’ energetic leaps, Nifty appears primed for a run upto 19900. But, we have stalled exactly at the upper boundary of a declining & broadening wedge, that calls for some caution. We hope that the cushion provided by 20 day and 10 day SMAs in the 19600-570 will be enough to keep nerves steady, in the event of pull back. Upside hopes will significantly dwindle should we close below the same. While a push above 19670 should clear path for 19900, it may be premature to look for 20600 right away, as we see vulnerability setting in again on completion of 61.8% retracement of the Sep-Oct downtrend.

Morning Market Views By V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
The Israel-Hamas conflict has introduced a huge uncertainty for the markets. Nobody knows how this war is going to evolve. From the market perspective it is important to understand that even though the death and destruction are tragic, presently it is unlikely to cause major disruption in oil supplies thereby impacting major oil importers like India. But the situation will change if Iran, a major Hamas supporter, is drawn into the war. That can disrupt oil supplies causing a spike in crude, which can trigger a risk-off in the market.
This is a time to be cautious. Investors may refrain from taking big risks. Wait for the developments to unfold. Long-term investors can slowly accumulate high quality stocks on declines.

Gold - Up on safe haven demand
Praveen Singh – Associate VP, Fundamental Currencies and Commodities, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, Today, the Hamas-Israel war is boosting safe haven demand for gold. The metal is up nearly 0.90% at 49. The metal may gain further as the war intensifies with rising death toll.
Spot gold snapped it's nine-day long losing streak to settle with a gain of 0.69% at 33 Friday on the US hourly earnings and unemployment rate coming in slightly worse than their respective forecasts. The US employers added 336k jobs Vs the forecast of 170k jobs in September as two-month payroll net revision was noted at +119k. Unemployment rate came in at 3.8%, which was slightly higher than the estimate of 3.70%. The US hourly earnings were up 0.20% on m-o-m basis, whereas earnings rose 4.20% y-o-y. Both the readings fell short of their respective forecasts by 0.10% each. Average weekly hours all employees matched the forecast of 34.40. Labour force participation rate remained unchanged at 62.80%, which may be a cause of concern as wage-inflation may remain elevated.
The US Dollar Index fell as the markets focused on the data of hourly earnings and unemployment rate.
Yields on 10-year TIPS have risen to the highest level since 2008, which is clearly bearish for the yellow metal.
The 2-10 year yields inversion reached the lowest level this year after the release of the US nonfarm payroll report.
The US is expected to issue huge debt, which in turn will make investors call for higher yields in return for buying the US debt as term premium will rise, thus the bonds will continue to face pressure.
Total known global gold ETF holdings fell for the sixth consecutive day through October 5 as investment demand remains lackluster.
This week, investors will focus on the US PPI (September), FOMC minutes, CPI (September), and University of Michigan consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. Out of Europe, Germany's CPI, industrial production; Euro-zone's Sentix investor confidence; and the UK's monthly GDP will garner attention. China's trade balance and CPI data will entertain the traders further.
The US bond market is closed Monday on the Columbus Day, thus a vital clue to the markets will be missing.
Support is at 30/10, while resistance is at 58/85. The metal is expected to trade with a positive bias in very short term.
