05/06/26, Today's market prediction

 Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are likely to open marginally higher on Friday tracking modest gains in GIFT Nifty, with investors awaiting the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision later in the day. Meanwhile, weak Asian markets, persistent geopolitical tensions and continued foreign fund outflows keep investor sentiment cautious.

GIFT Nifty was trading at 23,574 in early trade, up 35 points or 0.15 percent, indicating a mildly positive start for the Nifty 50. The signal comes after the benchmark indices ended largely flat on Thursday, with the Sensex rising just 14 points and the Nifty gaining 11 points as investors refrained from taking aggressive positions ahead of the RBI outcome.
The RBI policy decision will be the key trigger for markets. Investors will closely track the central bank's decision on repo rate, and its stance on inflation, growth and liquidity. Also in focus will be RBI commentary on the impact of elevated crude oil prices and rupee weakness on the domestic economy.
Global cues remained mixed. Asian equities fell sharply on Friday as investors booked profits in technology stocks and turned cautious amid stalled U.S.-Iran peace negotiations and renewed tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah. MSCI's Asia-Pacific index outside Japan was down 1.6 percent, while South Korea's KOSPI plunged more than 6 percent and Japan's Nikkei fell around 1.3 percent.

Wall Street delivered a mixed performance overnight. The Dow Jones surged 875 points, or 1.73 percent, to a record closing high, supported by healthcare and financial stocks. However, weakness in semiconductor stocks after disappointing results from Broadcom weighed on technology shares, leaving the Nasdaq marginally lower. The S&P 500 gained 0.41 percent.

Crude oil prices remained elevated, although they were largely steady in early trade. Brent crude hovered around $95 per barrel, while WTI crude traded near $92.7. Oil is still on track for weekly gains as uncertainty over a potential end to the Middle East conflict continues to support energy prices.

Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said that investors are likely to remain cautious ahead of the RBI decision. He added that markets are closely watching the central bank's assessment of inflation risks arising from higher crude oil prices, rupee weakness and disruptions to global energy supply chains.

Ponmudi said that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the unresolved U.S.-Iran conflict and continued hostilities involving Israel and Hezbollah, remain a significant source of uncertainty for global markets.

Foreign institutional investors continued to sell Indian equities on June 4, offloading shares worth Rs 4,447 crore. Domestic institutional investors remained supportive, extending their buying streak to thirteen sessions with purchases worth Rs 4,360 crore.

On the technical front, Ponmudi said the Nifty faces immediate resistance in the 23,450-23,550 zone, while the 23,250-23,150 region remains a critical support area. For Bank Nifty, the key resistance zone is placed at 54,400-54,500, while support is seen between 54,000 and 53,800.
