• Nifty 50: Closed at 22,410 (+0.7% WoW)
• Sensex: Closed at 74,120 (+0.6% WoW)
• Bank Nifty: Closed at 49,520 (+1.1% WoW)

🔍 Key Highlights & Market Drivers

🌍 1. Global Sentiment

• U.S. markets ended positively, anticipating Fed rate cuts in Q2.
• Crude oil prices remained under $83 per barrel, easing inflation concerns for India.
• 🔥 Trump’s renewed tariff war with China has revived global trade tensions. This trade war is expected to increase costs for U.S. importers and push manufacturers to shift their base to emerging markets like India.

India could benefit from this shift as companies seek alternatives to Chinese manufacturing in sectors such as textiles, auto parts, electronics, and engineering goods.

🇮🇳 2. Domestic Economic Indicators

• Manufacturing PMI rose to 56.4, reflecting solid economic activity and factory output growth.
• GST collections hit ₹1.79 lakh crore in March, showing strong consumer demand and tax compliance.
• The upcoming RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting on April 12 will be a key event, although no repo rate hike is expected.

📊 Technical Outlook: Nifty 50

The Nifty 50 continues to hold above its major support levels, showing strength.

• Support Zone: 22,200 – 22,050
• Resistance Zone: 22,500 – 22,700
• Trend: Sideways to mildly bullish; a breakout above 22,500 could trigger a rally.

🔧 Indicators:

• RSI: 61 – Neutral to bullish; room for upside without being overbought
• 50-Day Moving Average: Strong support at 21,880
• MACD: Positive crossover; watch for confirmation above 22,500

These indicators suggest bullish sentiment with caution, especially as global headlines (like tariffs) may influence investor emotions.

🏦 Sector Outlook

🔼 Bullish Sectors:

• Banking & Financial Services:
  • Strong credit growth and positive margin outlook.
  • Private banks like ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank are market leaders right now.
• Capital Goods & Infrastructure:
  • Ongoing public sector spending and PLI schemes support L&T, Siemens, and ABB.
• Auto Sector:
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) segment driving growth.
  • Companies like Tata Motors and Bajaj Auto are seeing strong retail demand.

🔽 Sectors to be Cautious About:

• Information Technology (IT):
  • Anticipated weak Q4 earnings and slowdown in U.S. tech spending may put pressure on stocks like Infosys and Wipro.
• Pharma:
  • After a strong 2-month rally, profit-booking is likely, especially in mid-sized pharma counters.
