US benchmark indices ended with mixed results, while the dollar index eased off recent highs. This shift occurred despite Trump dismissing media reports about a proposed universal tariff plan under the new administration. The Indian market is expected to open on a positive note, largely in line with Asian markets. Yesterday, Nifty saw a sharp decline, driven by concerns over the HMPV virus and weak financial updates. The market sentiment has shifted following the recent correction, and as a result, we advise traders to maintain a cautious stance, focusing on defensive and very stock-specific strategies. With today's Sensex weekly expiry, we anticipate a trading range of 77,500/77,700-78,200/78,400.
Actionable Picks: Buy Kalyan Jewellers, Lupin, and Info Edge.
