Gold Price Outlook
As tensions between the U.S. and China began to relax, the allure of gold as a secure investment diminished, leading to a drop in gold prices. This downturn was compounded by a U.S. inflation report that came in below expectations, further reducing the appeal of gold. Typically, gold is sought after as a hedge against inflation to maintain value, but with consumer prices cooling, the demand for such assets dwindled.
Anuj Gupta from HDFC Securities recommended a strategic move in response to the shifting market dynamics, advising investors to sell Gold Jun Futures at 92,500 with a target of 90,950 and a stop loss at 93,650. This tactical decision is grounded in the current market trends where gold's traditional role as a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty is being challenged due to diminishing inflation concerns and improved geopolitical relations.

Result Update: Tata Motors | Global uncertainty and tariff overhang weigh on outlook
“In 4QFY25, JLR reported EBITDA margin of 15.3%, 30bps below JMFe, primarily due to higher variable marketing spends. India business’ (CV+PV) EBITDA margin stood at 11.1%, 120bps above JMFe. Rising global uncertainty, despite the US-UK tariff deal (details awaited), remains a significant headwind for JLR. Owing to this, we have revised our FY26 volume estimates for JLR to 5% YoY decline. Additionally, we are factoring in 8.5% EBIT margin for FY26 (vs. management’s earlier guidance of 10%), and await for further clarity till the JLR Investor Day in Jun’25. The domestic outlook for the CV and PV segments remains muted. We maintain BUY with Mar’27 SOTP of INR 810 (standalone / JLR valued at 10x / 2x EV / EBIDTA). Rising global uncertainty remains a key risk,” said Saksham Kaushal of JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Nifty technical views from Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
The trend is evenly poised with immediate range sighted as 24770- 570. A symmetrical triangle pattern in daily chart tilts the trend in favour of upsides aiming 25200, but momentum indicators do not favour a vertical rise right away. Downsides on the other hand also look limited, with 24500-400 region appearing capable of arresting attempts to crack down.

Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
The market appears to be heading for a near-term consolidation phase with the mid and smallcaps outperforming. The sustained robust FII buying which lifted the largecaps is likely to weaken in the new context of trade deal emerging between US and China. The possibility of a ‘Sell India; Buy China’ tactical FII trade cannot be ruled out now. This will weigh on largecaps and strengthen the case for further rally in mid and smallcaps, despite the valuation concerns. The defence stocks are again witnessing renewed buying after the prime minister’s appreciation of the performance of made in India defence weapons. The medium to long-term prospects of defence companies, particularly those of exporters, look bright. However, the valuations of these stocks are high and , therefore, investors have to be cautious.

Nifty Outlook Today
“Technically, Nifty formed an inside bar candlestick pattern on the daily scale, following the formation of a bearish harami candlestick pattern. In the short term, 24,378 will act as key support, while 25,000 will serve as a stiff hurdle for the index. A breakout on either side will determine the next directional move. Traders should closely monitor these levels for potential trading opportunities,” commented Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd. (A Pantomath Group Company).

Bank Nifty Outlook Today By Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The index is currently hovering around the 9 EMA and remains slightly above the 20 DMA, reflecting a sideways consolidation phase within a larger uptrend. The RSI has cooled off and is now hovering around the 58 zone, suggesting weakening momentum without turning bearish. The broader structure still appears to be bullish as long as the index sustains above the support zone of 54,400–54,250. On a wider time frame, a breakdown below this region could drag it toward the lower band of the channel near 53,500. The resistance is seen around 55,220. A decisive close above this level could signal a breakout from the declining trendline and may revive bullish momentum.

Nifty Outlook Today By Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The index continues to trade comfortably above the 9 EMA, maintaining its short-term bullish structure. The RSI, though off its recent highs, is hovering around 60-62, indicating that momentum remains healthy but lacks a strong thrust at current levels. A sideways to slightly upward movement may persist unless there is a decisive breakout above the channel resistance near 25,000. On the downside, 24,375, followed by the 20-day moving average near 24,250, is likely to act as immediate support. The day’s high at 24,770 may act as a minor resistance, but a decisive breakout above this level could fuel the next leg of the rally and provide further confidence to the bulls.

Nifty Bank Options Market Insights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
From the options data point of view, the undertone has started shifting toward a mild bearish tilt. Call writers have been active on upper strikes, specially around 55,500 which now holds 12.72 lakh open interest contracts – making it a hard ceiling to breach. Meanwhile, 55,000 Put has seen strong build-up with 17.72 lakh contracts, reinforcing it as a solid near-term base. Put writers have also started placing positions between 54,800–55,000 – signaling a tentative support pocket forming in that zone. Still, the mood looks little shaky. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) ticked slightly up to 0.82 from 0.81 – hinting at cautious moves but without major conviction either side. Max Pain remains centered at 54,900 – suggesting it may act as a magnet zone for price action, drawing in tug-of-war activity.

Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Technically speaking, this corrective move looks more like a healthy pause than any serious trend reversal. Bulls are still trying to protect the important levels, and few lower supports are slowly converting into demand zones — making dips attractive for fresh accumulation. As long as the index hovers above 54,500, the bigger chart structure stays positive. Minor intraday pullbacks are getting bought into, and some slow buildup in upside momentum is being seen. Immediate resistance is now seen around 55,500–55,700 and a strong close above this level can unleash some short covering, possibly pushing the index to 56,300. On contrary, a breakdown below 54,700 could bring about some mild selling pressure, with 54,400 being the next level of interest — which again could act as an entry level for the bulls looking for low-risk opportunities. Momentum-wise, RSI on daily chart has dropped below 60, hinting that the bullish strength has weakened slightly but still not fully faded.

Nifty Options Market Insights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The derivatives data now leans mildly bearish. Call writers have become increasingly aggressive at higher levels, forcing unwinding of put positions—a classic sign that bullish conviction is starting to fade. Put writers are seen shifting to lower strikes, underlining a clear dip in bullish confidence. The 25,000 Call has seen massive open interest accumulation, with over 1.48 crore contracts stacked—making it a significant supply zone. On the flip side, heavy writing at the 24,500 Put (83.82 lakh contracts) confirms this as a crucial support base. A dense concentration of Open Interest between 24,700 and 24,900 reflects strong overhead barriers. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has nudged up from 0.69 to 0.73—indicating an uptick in bearish leaning. Meanwhile, Max Pain is parked at 24,550, hinting that the market is poised for a directional jolt.

Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Technically, a tight-range breakout setup is on the table with neither bulls nor bears able to take full control. A breakout on either side of today’s narrow band could steer the next directional play. As long as Nifty floats above 24,400, the primary structure stays intact. Dips continue to draw buying interest, making them rewarding opportunities. Immediate resistance is now capped around the 24,800–25,000 corridor. A powerful close above this ceiling could set off a fresh round of short-covering, possibly driving the index toward the 25,200–25,300 belt. On the downside, a slide below 24,500 might induce mild profit-taking down to 24,370—a spot likely to invite fresh buying again.
