"We expect the Indian rupee to trade with a slight negative bias on strong US Dollar and weak global markets. However, a positive tone in the domestic markets and expectations of fresh foreign inflows may support the Rupee at lower levels. Traders may take cues from India’s trade balance data. Traders may also take cues from Michigan consumer sentiment and inflation expectations data from the US. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 83.30 to Rs 83.80," said Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
"International and domestic crude oil futures eased on Thursday as the Fed lowered expectations for a near-term rate cut, and supply remains ample amid moderate demand.
The US dollar rose following the Fed's decision and weighed on prices. Additionally, Iraq and Kurdistan appear to be closing in on a deal that could trigger a fresh wave of supply and weigh on prices. However, the downside was capped after OPEC saw oil demand growing by 25 million barrels per day in the developing world through 2045, with China and India alone contributing 10 million barrels per day.
International crude oil futures have started weaker this early Friday morning in Asian trade amid likely risk-off sentiment in the market," said Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities.
"Participation in gold has remained at high levels. This may lead to a price correction as some participants unwind their positions. We believe that gold will correct from its current prices. Nonetheless, the risk of increasing geopolitical tensions might further push the prices upward.
Currently, we are noting support near Rs 70,820. Gold might undergo a correction to around Rs 69,900 on the downside, while on the upside, it could potentially reach levels of Rs 72,050," said Chintan Mehta, CEO of Abans Holdings.

“Bank Nifty is facing stiff resistance at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level (50050) and has been unable to sustain above it. So, strength is missing at higher levels. There can be a consolidation in the near term before resuming next leg of upmove. Ideally, dips towards 49500 – 49400 should be used as a buying interest for the target of 50500 – 50600,” Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

Commenting on the Technical outlook of Nifty Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities, said Nifty remained sideways following a gap-up start. The index has been consistently flat for the last four days, indicating a pause before a sharp move. The direction of this move is not yet known, at least not before any directional breakout. From here, a decisive move above 23,500 might lead to the covering of call writing, which could take the index higher towards 23,800. On the lower end, support is placed at 23,300, below which the index might weaken.
