Morning comments (HDFCSec Retail Research)
Indian markets are expected to open mildly higher, following positive moves in Asian and US markets. The Dow and S&P 500 reached record highs, buoyed by strong technology stocks and retail sector activity. US President Trump’s tariff threats against BRICS nations added some geopolitical tension.
India's GDP grew at just 5.4% for Q2 FY2024, below expectations, while the UK’s inflation spiked to 2.3%, dampening rate cut hopes. Gold prices rose on Friday but were set for a monthly decline due to post-election dollar strength. The dollar index saw its lowest in over two weeks but remains up for November.
India’s core industries grew by 3.1% in October, and GST collections showed steady growth despite a slight monthly dip. In China, property prices and factory activity improved, while South Korea’s exports showed weak growth.
In the equity markets, Nifty ended Friday with a gain of 216 points, showing a bullish short-term trend with resistance at 24,350 and support at 23,900.
