On the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research—Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, “Investors now await key global data releases—U.S. Initial Jobless Claims, U.S. Retail Sales, and Japan’s GDP—which could guide near-term market direction. On the earnings front, results from Hyundai Motors, BHEL, CreditAccess Grameen, and Eureka Forbes are due on Friday—potentially driving stock-specific action.”

Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, ‘The Nifty 50 index amid high volatility witnessed a robust move to strongly breach above the 25,000 zone with a bullish candle formation on the daily chart to strengthen the trend, anticipating a further rise in the coming days. As mentioned earlier, the index has triggered a breakout. It has opened the gates for fresh upside targets of 25,400 and 25,800 levels with major support now positioned near the 24,500 level, which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall bias intact.”

Asked about the outlook of Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, “As long as the Bank Nifty index sustains above 54,850, the trend remains sloped to the upside. A decisive close above 55,600 could open the door for a move toward 56,098.70, the recent all-time high.”
