  • Daily Morning Report                       Date: 17.10.2025
  • NIFTY OUTLOOK: 25585.30    FII: Rs. 997.29 cr    DII: Rs. 4076.20 cr
  • As discussed yesterday, market behaviour remained on expected lines as strong buying pressure and a decisive breakout above the resistance formed on 18th September 2025 propelled Nifty up to 25625.40. On the day of closing, it ended near the high at 25585.30.
  • A long bullish candle on the daily chart indicates that Nifty has surpassed its earlier resistance, suggesting aggressive buying pressure and continuation of the positive uptrend. If Nifty decisively moves above 25636, it may rally further towards 25687 to 25737. If more demand accelerates, it may even test 25789.
  • However, the formation of a strong bullish candle also signals that prices are now nearing a resistance zone formed towards the end of June 2025, hinting at possible profit booking. On a decisive breakdown of 25535, Nifty may slip towards 25483 to 25433, and if selling pressure intensifies, it could test 25382.

  • 4. US 10 years bond yield is @ 3.95
  • Note:
  • U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Thursday after Wall Street closed in the red amid renewed concerns over the health of regional banks and escalating U.S.–China trade tensions, compounded by an ongoing government shutdown.
  • Regional banking stocks fell sharply after Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION) and Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:WAL) reported loan losses linked to potential fraud cases, reigniting fears of weak credit oversight.
  • Tensions between Washington and Beijing remain elevated as President Donald Trump announced plans to impose an additional 100% tariff on all Chinese imports from next month, following China’s expanded rare earth export restrictions. Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown, now entering its third week, continues to hurt sentiment and delay key economic data releases.
  • As far as Indian markets are concerned, India has begun cutting Russian oil imports by 50% following recent U.S. discussions. This move could pave the way for renewed U.S.–India trade talks, a development that may act as a positive trigger for Indian equities in the coming sessions.

  • Booked profit in 5,402 lots and created shorts in 17,108 lots (Net -22,510)
  • Note:
  • FIIs covered massive shorts today, with net long positions rising sharply from 8.1% to 13.8% in a single session. They purchased Rs. 5066 cr in index futures. PCR at 1.52 indicates a slightly overbought zone, while VIX rising by 3.13% reflects a marginal increase in volatility.
  • Some crucial levels were breached in Nifty today. FIIs turned aggressive on the long side and covered shorts, while retail participants booked profits and built fresh shorts. The level 25677 will act as a key resistance and possibly the last major hurdle before Nifty attempts a new all-time high.
  • Nifty closed at 25585, with immediate support at 25495 and resistance at 25677. Any dips around 25500–25480 can be considered a buying opportunity with SL at 25411 and target 25657.
  • Additional Market Insight:
  • According to Reuters, India plans to reduce its crude oil imports from Russia. If implemented, this could pave the way for a stronger U.S.–India trade deal, potentially boosting market sentiment — as already reflected in today’s heavy FII short covering.
  • If positive news follows, this could mark the beginning of a new bull run, setting the stage for a sustained rally after more than a year of consolidation.
  • First target: 26,998.
