Speaking on the outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "Looking ahead, progress on the US-India trade deal is expected to provide near-term support, especially for export-driven sectors. Key geopolitical developments (after India's Operation Sindoor), corporate earnings reports, and macroeconomic data from the US are likely to be closely watched, with the potential for short-term consolidation depending on how these factors unfold. Markets will also focus on important earnings announcements scheduled for Thursday, including from L&T, Britannia, Titan, Pidilite, Biocon, Bharat Forge, Union Bank, and Canara Bank."

On the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The rising wedge type of formation is unfolding in Nifty as per the daily timeframe chart. A slide below the initial support of 24,200 could trigger a short-term downward correction in the market. However, a decisive move above 24,600 could bring bulls back into action."

Asked about the outlook of Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, “On the daily chart, Bank Nifty formed a Piercing Line candlestick pattern, reflecting buying strength. Immediate resistance for Bank Nifty is seen at 55,000, followed by 56,000, while key support lies at 53,890.”
