Deccan ChronicleSensex, Nifty Fall In Early Trade As Crude Prices, US-Iran Tensions WeighSensex and Nifty fell in early Monday trade as crude prices and US-Iran tensions weighed on sentiment. The Sensex dropped 172.77 points to 76,342.66, while Nifty fell 63.30 points to 23,832.60. Brent crude rose 0.78% to $97 per barrel.NDTV ProfitTrade Setup For Aug 28: Nifty Support Below 24,000; Breach May Worsen Selloff, Analysts WarnAnalysts at SBI Securities and Enrich Money outlined a bearish technical setup for the Nifty, with Sudeep Shah identifying 23,950 as key support and 24,200-24,230 as resistance. A breach below 23,950 could push the index toward 23,800, while RSI around 43 and a negative MACD signal bearish momentum. Bank Nifty fell 0.47% on Thursday, closing in the 57,600-57,500 zone.Deccan ChronicleSensex, Nifty Rise In Early Trade On Blue-Chip BuyingSensex and Nifty rose in early Monday trade on blue-chip buying, with Sensex up 202.42 points to 77,744.15 and Nifty up 55.35 points to 24,309. Geopolitical tensions and high crude prices dampened risk appetite, and FIIs offloaded Rs 542.71 crore on Friday.NDTV ProfitTrade Setup For Aug 21: Nifty Reclaims Key Technical Levels But Bearish Tilt Not Ruled Out | Check Key LevelsThe Nifty 50 index rebounded on Thursday, ending a seven-session losing streak by reclaiming key technical support levels at its 50-day and 100-day DEMA. Analysts from HDFC Securities and Enrich Money note that while near-term momentum has improved due to easing global bond market pressure and domestic buying, the broader trend remains uncertain as the index trades below its 20-day and 200-day EMAs. The market is currently range-bound with critical resistance identified between 24,300 and 24,375.MintStock market today: Gift Nifty hints a flat start; five day trading stocks to buy on Tuesday, 4 August | Stock Market NewsThe Indian stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 are expected to open flat on Tuesday, August 4, 2025, with Gift Nifty trading around 24,669, after the previous session's strong gains of 0.70% and 1.60% respectively. Crude oil prices recovered partially following steep declines, influenced by ongoing US-Iran tensions and concerns over potential supply disruptions in the Middle East, while gold traded largely flat awaiting US employment data. Market analysts from Enrich Money, Religare Broking, Choice Broking, and Anand Rathi provided technical outlook and recommended five stocks for intraday trading: Sona BLW Precision Forgings, Nykaa, Power Grid Corporation of India, Paras Defence and Space Technologies, and NHPC.BusinessLineGift Nifty signals flat opening for Sensex, Nifty, despite strong Asian marketsGift Nifty at 24,150 signals a flat to weak opening for Indian equities on July 21, 2026, as investors remain cautious amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia, elevated crude oil prices, persistent FPI selling, and Indian rupee weakness. Market experts from Enrich Money and Equirus Wealth advise focusing on fundamentally strong companies, while PGIM India Mutual Fund reports FPI equity inflows rebounded to over $1.20 billion in the month so far. PGIM India also expects the Monetary Policy Committee to raise rates in H2 FY27 given below-5% CPI inflation forecasts and continued monsoon deficits, with cumulative rainfall 24% below long-term average as of July 17.BitgetBought gold and silver at the top? Here's what experts suggest after prices plunged up to 50% from January highsGold and silver prices have sharply declined from their January 2026 record highs, with silver plunging 50% (Rs 2.25 lakh per kg) and gold falling 30% (Rs 60,000 per 10 grams), erasing significant portions of the 66% gain gold made in 2025. The correction has been driven by profit-taking after the rally, rising crude oil prices reviving inflation concerns that prompted expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate hike, and fading safe-haven demand despite escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Experts including Enrich Money CEO Ponmudi R and Geojit Investments Head of Commodity Research Hareesh V characterize the decline as a technical correction rather than a structural breakdown, advising gold investors to hold positions and average on dips while recommending caution on silver given its higher volatility and speculative sensitivity.BusinessLineInflation data, US Fed interest rate decision, crude oil major drivers for stock markets: AnalystsAnalysts from Religare Broking, Enrich Money, Swastika Investmart, and Geojit Investments indicate that inflation data, the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, and crude oil price trends will be key drivers for Indian stock market movement. Foreign portfolio investors have withdrawn over ₹2.87 lakh crore from Indian equities in 2026, surpassing the ₹1.66 lakh crore pulled out during the entire calendar year 2025. Recent geopolitical developments suggesting a potential US-Iran peace deal have led to a sharp correction in Brent crude prices, which analysts view as positive for India as a major oil importer.BusinessLineUS–Iran talks, oil prices, RBI’s interest rate decision key drivers for markets this weekAnalysts from Religare Broking, Enrich Money, Swastika Investmart, and Geojit Investments identified US-Iran diplomatic developments, crude oil price movements, and the RBI's Friday monetary policy announcement as the primary factors that will influence Indian equity markets in the week ahead. Key macroeconomic indicators scheduled for release include HSBC Manufacturing PMI on Monday, Services and Composite PMI on Wednesday, May automobile sales data, and India's GDP growth figures. Market participants will also monitor foreign investor activity, rupee-dollar movements, and global equity trends for directional cues.The TribuneRupee may stay under pressure as geopolitical risks and twin deficits keep USD-INR on upward trajectory, experts sayThe Indian rupee breached the Rs 96 mark against the US dollar for the first time ever on May 15, hitting an intraday low of 96.14 before settling at 95.97, driven by a short squeeze triggered when the rupee crossed the 96 level, compounded by a stronger dollar, rising crude oil prices, and U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions. Analysts cited by HDFC Securities and Enrich Money attributed the depreciation to a lockstep move in dollar and crude oil benchmarks following Washington's rejection of Iran's 14-point peace proposal. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal offered a measured counterpoint, noting that exports have been performing well and that the Department of Commerce is actively engaging with industry through the Export Promotion Mission to address supply chain and logistics bottlenecks.
