Trading Guide:
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments stated,the domestic equity market edged lower as investors booked profits after the recent rebound, mirroring weak global sentiment. Expectations of a U.S. Fed rate cut in December have diminished, weighing on sentiment, with IT, metal, and realty stocks declining amid a stronger dollar, while private banks offered some support. Investors now await this week’s U.S. jobs data, which will be key in shaping the Fed’s policy outlook.Going forward, progress on the Indo-U.S. trade deal and a strengthening domestic earnings outlook could help revive confidence and support market momentum to convincingly cross the Nifty50 threshold of 26,000.
