Stock market today: The domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, opened higher on Monday, reflecting a positive market sentiment ahead of the oath ceremony of new US President Donald Trump.
Analysts highlighted that the markets are likely to respond to Trump's inaugural speech and his first executive order, as these will provide insights into the policy direction his administration will take in the coming term. Investors are keenly watching for any signals that could impact both domestic and global economic conditions.
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, noted that stock markets around the world are likely to adopt a wait-and-see approach as the Trump administration begins its second term today. He anticipates that the President will take numerous executive actions, especially concerning immigration, right from his first day in office. Investors will be closely monitoring these developments to gauge their implications for the market.
The Nifty 50 continued to face bearish pressure for another session, reflecting weak market sentiment. The index retreated after hitting resistance at a key moving average, and this bearish outlook could persist in the near term or as long as it trades below 23,400. On the downside, the index may slide toward 23,000, with a decisive break below this level potentially triggering a broader market correction. Meanwhile, 23,400 is expected to act as a formidable resistance level.
Open Interest Analysis: The net addition to CALL open interest stood at 1.78 crore, compared to a net addition of 1.44cr in PUT open interest. Substantial CALL open interest addition was observed at the 23,700 strikes on Friday. Maximum PUT open interest is concentrated at 22,700, while maximum CALL open interest is seen at 23,500, defining a broader range for the market.
