09/06/26, PreMarket REPORT

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are likely to open lower on Tuesday, with GIFT Nifty indicating a subdued start as investors remain cautious despite a rebound in Asian markets. Concerns linger over Middle East tensions, elevated crude oil prices and persistent foreign fund outflows.

GIFT Nifty was trading at 23,133 in early trade, down 45 points or 0.19 percent, indicating that the Nifty 50 could open below Monday's close of 23,123.

The weak indication comes after Indian equities extended their losses for a second straight session on Monday. The Sensex fell 719 points, while the Nifty shed 244 points as escalating tensions in West Asia, higher crude oil prices, weak global cues and continued FII selling weighed on sentiment.

However, global markets showed signs of stabilisation after Monday's sharp selloff. Asian equities rebounded on Tuesday as investors welcomed a temporary halt in hostilities between Israel and Iran and returned to beaten-down semiconductor stocks. MSCI's Asia-Pacific index outside Japan rose 0.9 percent, South Korea's KOSPI climbed 3 percent after Monday's 8 percent-plus plunge, while Japan's Nikkei edged up 0.3 percent.

Wall Street ended mostly higher overnight, with technology shares leading gains. The Nasdaq rose 0.86 percent and the S&P 500 gained 0.3 percent as investors bought semiconductor stocks after Friday's sharp correction. The Dow Jones slipped 0.16 percent. Markets also drew some comfort after Iran and Israel announced a temporary halt to attacks following an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Crude oil prices eased from overnight highs after the pause in hostilities. Brent crude was trading around $94 per barrel, while WTI crude hovered near $91 per barrel. Oil had surged as much as 5 percent on Monday before retreating after Iran announced the end of military operations against Israel.

Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said Indian markets are likely to remain volatile with a cautious bias as the ceasefire between Israel and Iran has reduced immediate escalation risks but there is still no clarity on the broader U.S.-Iran diplomatic process.

He said crude oil prices remain elevated despite recent moderation, keeping concerns over inflation and import costs alive. Persistent foreign institutional selling also continues to cap upside potential for domestic equities, even as strong domestic institutional flows provide support.

Foreign institutional investors remained net sellers on June 8, offloading shares worth Rs 5,555 crore. Domestic institutional investors purchased equities worth Rs 5,165 crore, helping absorb much of the foreign selling pressure.

On the technical front, Ponmudi said the Nifty faces immediate resistance in the 23,250-23,300 zone, while the 23,000 level remains a critical support area. A sustained move above resistance could push the index towards 23,450-23,550, while a break below 23,000 could trigger further downside towards 22,800.

For Bank Nifty, resistance is seen in the 54,400-54,500 zone, while immediate support is placed between 54,000 and 53,800.
