Markets viewed this as an indicator of rising oil demand. -Oil prices gained in early Asian trading underpinned by signs of improved demand and escalating Middle East tensions that had sparked a rally in US futures to a five-month high in the previous session.

Hello and welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are important cues to track ahead of the market session of April 1 -The Nifty came within 10 points of making a new record high on March 28 but failed to do so.

Brent crude fell 17 cents to $86.83 a barrel. -Talking about the domestic market, Nifty sees a make-or-break week ahead. We will find out if the correction from mid-January is just a pullback or if the uptrend is intact. The support for Nifty stands at 22,152. -The week will be a data-driven one as companies will start reporting their March quarter business updates, particularly banks and financials, along with certain FMCG companies. -The focus will also be on the RBI Monetary Policy between April 3-5 and whether the MPC will provide further clarity on where the interest rates are headed in the country. The second week of April will also see IT companies start reporting their quarterly earnings, and future commentary from them will be keenly awaited. -Stocks to track: Auto companies, HDFC Bank, Infosys, Indian Oil Corporation, RVNL, Adani Total Gas, Lupin, Veranda Learning Solution, Trident, Canara Bank, Torrent Power, Landmark Cars, Macrotech Developers, Metro Brands, SBI Life Insurance, Indian Overseas Bank, NTPC and Adani Green Energy Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Ep 12181218: Marketbuzz Podcast with Kanishka Sarkar: Sensex, Nifty 50 likely to open in green after Fed decision

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important cues ahead of the trading session of March 21 - The US Federal Reserve has maintained its interest rate cut projections for the year in the face of upside surprises on inflation, and did not strike a more hawkish tone as some investors had feared. -Overnight in the US, all three major indexes rose, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P500 closing at record highs. The Dow Jones rallied a percent, S&P 500 gained 0.89% to rise above the 5,200 level for the first time. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.25%, powered by megacap tech stocks. -Japan’s markets hit a fresh all-time high as Asia markets climbed after Federal Reserve maintained its forecast for three rate cuts.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index gained 1.5%, while the CSI 300 on the Chinese mainland inched up 0.32%. -Indian market is likely to start the day on a positive note too tracking the global peers. However, if the domestic market will reverse days of sluggish moves as the March F&O series draws to a close remains to be seen. -For the Nifty, many short-term indicators are pointing to a bounce. In the previous session, Sensex and Nifty had rebounded propelled by bargain hunting in Reliance Industries, ITC and SBI amid a largely firm trend in global equities. However, traders say a depreciating rupee and selling pressure in small-cap stocks restricted the gains. -Even as the Nifty is holding 21,800, experts suggest that on the way down, Nifty should not break the low of 21,710. -There was a large selling from foreign investors yesterday. FIIs sold 2599cr and DIIs bought 2667cr in cash yesterday. -Oil prices have rebounded after falling in the previous session as US crude and gasoline inventory declines supported the market after signs the US Federal Reserve may keep rates higher for longer crimped the outlook for future fuel demand.

Sensex slipped more than 700 points while Nifty fell below the 22,000 level in the previous session.

On the upside, the index continues to face resistance above 22,100 and Monday's high of 22,123, was at levels similar to that of Friday at 22,120. -Global cues, meanwhile, seem mixed.

Ep 12151215: Marketbuzz Podcast with Kanishka Sarkar: 22,000 key Nifty 50 level to watch, Fed policy this week and more

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast bringing you all the important cues ahead of the trading session of March 18 Here’s a look at top cues to track today - A key question is if the Nifty will continue to hold on to the 22,000 level after the worst week in five months. Experts say that Nifty's momentum indicators suggest bearish momentum in the near-term. Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities said that the short-term trend of the Nifty remains weak and a decisive move below 21,900 can open sharp downsides towards levels of 21,500 in the near-term. Therefore, 22,000 remains the immediate resistance mark. - Following the orders of SEBI and AMFI, many reserve funds have released the results of stress tests. Nippon India Small Cap Fund, an asset base holding company with around ₹46,00 crore, says it has accumulated 50% of the portfolio in equity in 27 days. At the same time, Edelweiss Mutual Fund says that it has created 50% of its portfolio in 2 days of investment. The results of the stress test will be issued to all these French fund houses every 15 days after March 15. -Wall Street awaits guidance on monetary policy from the Federal Reserve this week. In the previous session on Friday in the US, all three indexes fell as inflation concerns remain front and center ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting. The S&P 500 lost 0.65%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped half a percent and the Nasdaq Composite slipped almost a percent. -This morning, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index led gains in Asia-Pacific markets on, ahead of a week full of central bank meetings, while investors awaited a slew of economic data from China. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 2.1%, while the Topix climbed 1.6%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index opened 0.27% lower, while the CSI 300 index was 0.17% higher. - China is set to release a slew of economic data, including its February retail sales, industrial output, and urban unemployment numbers. -Oil prices ticked up in early trade, firming up gains from last week when prices rose nearly 4% on the view that supply was tightening. Brent crude oil futures for May delivery were above $85 a barrel. - Stocks to track: Zomato, HDFC Life, Aurobindo Pharma, Coforge, Adani Group stocks, Aditya Birla Fashion, Crompton Greaves, SJVN, Hindustan Aeronautics, LIC -In other news, the Election Commission announced dates for upcoming Lok Sabha polls as well as simultaneous elections to four states in seven phases starting April 19.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher in the trading session of January 24, amid mixed cues from the global market.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to start the trading session of January 23 on a positive note as both global and domestic cues suggest. In terms of global setup, US closed the first session of the week with minor gains overnight but at a record high tracking earnings and economic data with all the three major indices closing with gains. In the previous domestic session on January 20, the market saw thin volumes with the broader market closing with healthy gains while benchmark indices closed in the red. For Nifty 50, drags came in largely from IT and FM G names. The good part was that the HDFC Bank snapped its three day losing streak. In the trading session this morning, the major move in both Nifty 50 and Nifty Bank will depend on how ICICI Bank reacts to third quarter earnings that came in largely better than estimates.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher on January 19, after a three-day losing streak, tracking Asian peers. The previous session was another weak one with the markets extending losses for the third street session. The sluggish global market markets, in addition to mixed quarterly earnings seem to be weighing on sentiment at least until January 18.

The global setup seems positive as the US markets rose in the overnight session led by the tech led rally.

The Nifty Bank index also saw the biggest fall since 2022 with HDFC Bank recording the worst day in three years. It remains to be seen if the previous session’s move was exceptional or if it will sustain given the weak global cues combined with pressure in private banks weighing on sentiment. The Street is likely to focus on financial earnings post HDFC Bank and track if there will be net interest margin pressure in other banks as well. IndusInd Bank and South Indian Bank are among the lenders expected to report earnings later in the day. The Central Bank and RBL Bank will report results on January 19 while the ICICI Bank will release quarterly numbers the day after. Since Reliance Industries will also report numbers after the January 20 trading session, January 22, Monday’s session will be key to watch.

The Nifty 50 ended higher for the fifth consecutive session with the midcap index too posting a record close. There seems to be momentum from results, a pre-election rally, and inflation data, which was softer-than-anticipated. According to market experts, the strategy of possibly buying on dips with a focus on stock selection is likely to continue. Globally, the US markets were closed overnight. Asia stocks were trading largely lower while Brent crude was a bit sluggish at around $78 per barrel. The GIFT Nifty is indicating a softer start.
