The Indian stock market opened today on a higher note, triggered by positive global cues. Nifty opened above the 25k mark at 25,074.45 level, whereas Sensex was up 180 pts during the pre-opening session on Friday, 12th September. Infosys was the top gainer during the early trade after the largest share buyback since the IPO was announced by the IT services provider. The buyback of shares will be carried out through a tender offer and has a valuation of Rs 18,000 crore. The price per share for the buyback offer would be Rs 1,800.
Concerning global markets, the Asian stock market is performing well today, with a broad-based rally. The Nikkei 225 in Japan is up more than 0.73%, trading at about 44,696, while the KOSPI in South Korea is also doing well, up more than 1.2%, trading at around 3,383.42. The Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.38% in mainland China, indicating a bullish trend. The Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong has also entered a positive zone, rising more than 1.61% to trade at over 26,505.
This broad-based rally is largely attributed to a positive global sentiment, driven by expectations of upcoming interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve. With UK GDP coming Friday, investors are likely to closely monitor major macro data on the ECB rate decision, US CPI, and initial jobless claims. Meanwhile, market momentum is expected to be maintained by GST adjustments, expectations of a U.S. Fed rate cut next week, and US-India trade discussions.

Sector Update: US CPI Inflation | Fed to prioritise labour market weakness over inflation
“Headline inflation firmed up in August to 2.9% (2.7% prior) with a stronger-than-expected momentum of 0.4% MoM. Commodities fueled headline inflation while services moderated. Unlike headline, core inflation was stable on a sequential basis. The inflationary pressures in consumer-facing categories like food, apparels and energy were notable. However, the impact of tariffs on inflation print is yet to reflect meaningfully, likely due to limited pass-through. The labour market reflects deterioration across various parameters – non-farm payrolls, unemployment claims and unemployment rate. We believe that the Fed will prioritise addressing these weaknesses over the firm inflation print in the upcoming FOMC meet. Taking cues from the sluggish labour market and the PPI reading, bond yields have already softened ~ 25bps, building in rate cut expectations. We expect two more rate cuts by the end of 2025, starting with a 25bps rate cut in September,” said Hitesh Suvarna of JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Market Outlook from Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited
In light of the heightened volatility and mixed global signals, traders are advised to adopt a cautious “buy-on-dips” strategy. Booking partial profits on rallies and maintaining tight trailing stop-losses is recommended to manage risk. Fresh long positions
should only be considered if the Nifty sustains above the 25,160 level. While the broader trend remains cautiously bullish, close monitoring of key technical levels and global cues will be crucial to navigate the current market environment.

Nifty Outlook Today By Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking
The Nifty index formed a bullish candle and held above the 25,000 mark, signalling strength following renewed optimism around U.S.–India trade talks and expectations of GST rate cuts, which lifted investor sentiment. However, for further upside, the index needs
to surpass the 25,160–25,400 range. On the downside, immediate support is seen at 24,800, aligning with the 20-day EMAs.

Nifty Outlook Today By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
A bit of resistance on test of 25012 and the positive close are both in line with our yesterday's view. Towards this end, we will continue to pursue upsides, with downside marker placed near 24930. Upside objective remains at 25400, but approach of 25100 is likely to attract rejection trades. Inability to push beyond the same, or a direct fall below 24700 could delay the maturity of upsides.

Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
Globally stock markets are resilient drawing strength from the new records being set by the mother market US. The US market is bullish on expectations of rate cut from the Fed on September 17th. A 25 bp rate cut by the Fed is the near consensus now, but experts differ on the number of rate cuts after the September cut. Rising inflation in US, which has come at 2.9% yoy in August, is likely to get worse from the tariff pass through which has started happening. Rising jobless claims at 263000 is a clear indication of a weakening labour market.
In contrast, the macro picture in India is robust. Financial stability as reflected in FD and CAD numbers, GDP growth prospects remaining strong and falling inflation are positive indicators. After September 22nd the sharp rise in demand for consumer durables, particularly automobiles, will dominate economic and business news. This, in turn, will provide the positive sentimental support to the market. The joker in the pack will be the Trump tariffs. So, watch out for developments on that front.

Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
On the daily chart, the index has consistently found strong support, highlighting that dips are being bought into at current levels. Meanwhile, RSI has recovered to 47 from oversold zones, though a cross above the neutral 50 level is still awaited, to confirm the strengthening of the momentum.
From a technical perspective, the hourly chart reflects a higher-high, higher-low formation, reinforcing the presence of sustained bullish momentum. Immediate resistance is now placed at 54,700, followed by the psychological 55,000 mark, while on the downside, the 54,000–54,300 zone has emerged as a reliable cushion, repeatedly defended in recent sessions. As long as this base remains intact, a buy-on-dips approach looks favourable.

Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
On the daily chart, Nifty remained contained within the prior day’s indecisive candlestick range, suggesting that a breakout beyond either the previous day’s high or low will likely determine the next directional move. Meanwhile, RSI hovered above the neutral 55 level, hinting at gradually improving positive momentum.
Despite the muted action on both ends, Nifty defended the crucial 24,800 zone, aided by the confluence of its 20- and 50-DEMA. From a technical standpoint, the index is trading above its gap support, maintaining a higher-low formation and holding key moving averages — all adding to a constructive setup. Immediate hurdles are seen at 25,050, followed by 25,200, while on the downside, 24,800 remains a reliable base. As long as this support cluster holds, a buy-on-dips strategy appears favourable.

Bank Nifty Outlook Today By Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The index held above the 9-EMA and 20-EMA, while the 50-DMA acts as a major resistance that needs to be crossed to gain further strength.
The RSI has improved to 47, moving closer to the neutral 50 mark. The MACD is also building a positive histogram, reflecting a bullish crossover. The 50% Fibonacci retracement highlights 54,900 as the next key resistance, while immediate support remains at 54,300–54,200.
Nifty Private Bank closed higher by 0.29%, and Nifty PSU Bank gained 0.74%, indicating positive participation across the banking sector.
Nifty Bank holding above 54,300 will be important to keep the outlook positive. A breakout above 54,850–55,000 can extend the move higher. A buy-on-dip strategy can be adopted for the next session.

Nifty Outlook Today By Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The index has finally emerged from a prolonged consolidation phase, reclaiming psychological levels of 25,000.
Nifty has regained its position above the short-term moving averages while also sustaining above the declining trendline drawn from previous swing highs. Importantly, the index now holds above the 50% Fibonacci retracement, which coincides with the 25,000 level.
The RSI has strengthened to 57, reflecting positive skewness and supporting the ongoing uptrend, while the ADX at 17 suggests that trend strength is still developing but has room to build further.
The immediate support remains at 24,880–24,800, where the middle Bollinger Band and recent breakout zone converge. On the upside, resistance is placed at 25,150–25,220, and a decisive close above this zone would open the way for a move toward 25,350.
The broader stance remains positive, with the buy-on-dip approach favoured as long as Nifty continues to defend levels above 24,800.

Bank Nifty Derivatives Highlights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
In the derivatives segment, cautious optimism prevailed, with put writers retaining a marginal advantage over call writers, supported by fresh additions from the put side. The 55,000 strike recorded a significant open interest build up of 12.25 lakh contracts, reinforcing it as a strong resistance ceiling. On the flip side, the 54,000 strike saw the highest put OI at 14.42 lakh contracts, establishing it as a critical support base.
Fresh put writing around current levels indicates limited conviction for a deeper downside, while unwinding of call writing positions points toward improving sentiment. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) edged up to 1.01 from 0.98, reflecting a mild bullish bias and scope for sustained upward momentum, though a decisive technical breakout is awaited.

Nifty Derivatives Highlights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
In the derivatives space, cautious optimism prevailed as put writers maintained a slight edge over call writers. The 25,500 strike witnessed heavy open interest build up of 1.05 crore contracts, confirming it as a strong resistance ceiling. Conversely, the 25,000 strike attracted the highest put OI of 1.06 crore contracts, reinforcing its role as a solid support base.
Fresh put writing at current levels reflects limited conviction for a steep downside, while incremental call writing at higher OTM strikes signals early optimism in the open interest structure. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) climbed to 1.15 from 1.08, pointing to a bullish undertone and the potential for sustained upward momentum, though a decisive breakout trigger is awaited.
