The Bottomline
The cautious opening bell today suggests that the market is taking a necessary breather after hitting historical peaks. While some profit-booking is evident, strong sectoral performance, notably in auto and metals, prevents a sharp decline. The immediate movement of the Nifty 50 price will be governed by the crucial Q2FY26 GDP data due today.
Looking ahead, the focus shifts entirely to the central bank decisions as both the RBI policy meet next week and the US Fed’s rate outlook, are positioned as the next major catalysts that will determine the continuation of the current bullish trend for the Nifty and Sensex.
