Indian Stock Market Outlook: US-Iran Talks Failure to Impact Nifty 50 and Sensex Trading on 13 April

Indian Stock Market Benchmark Indices Expected to Open Lower

The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open lower on Monday, following weak global market cues. The US-Iran ceasefire talks failed to reach an agreement, resulting in a jump in crude oil prices. This development is expected to impact the Indian market, with the Gift Nifty indicating a gap-down start for the Indian benchmark index.

Key Market Indicators

The Gift Nifty was trading at 23,771, a discount of nearly 330 points from the Nifty futures' previous close. On Friday, the Indian stock market experienced a surge, with the benchmark Nifty 50 closing above 24,000. The Sensex surged 918.60 points, or 1.20%, to close at 77,550.25, while the Nifty 50 settled 275.50 points, or 1.16%, higher at 24,050.60.

Sensex Prediction

Sensex has shown a strong rebound from lower levels, reinforcing the ongoing recovery trend with an improving price structure. Key technical levels indicate that support is placed in the 77,000 – 77,100 zone for Sensex, which is likely to act as a demand area on declines, while resistance is seen around 78,000 – 78,200, where upside may face supply pressure.

Nifty 50 jumped 5.89% last week and decisively snapped a six-week losing streak. The index formed a strong bullish candlestick pattern on the weekly chart with a higher high and a higher low for the first time in the last eight weeks. The broader market structure remains positive, and a further short-covering rally could push the Nifty 50 index towards the 24,300 – 24,500 zone in the near term.

Bank Nifty Prediction

Bank Nifty index ended 1,091.05 points, or 1.99%, higher at 55,912.75 on Friday. For the week, the index surged 8.47%, forming a strong bullish candle. The immediate resistance for Bank Nifty is placed in the 56,400 - 56,500 zone. Any sustainable move above this zone could result in Bank Nifty extending its pullback towards 57,000, followed by 57,500 in the short term.

Market Outlook

The near-term outlook for the Indian stock market remains cautiously positive, supported by recovery momentum. However, geopolitical uncertainties may keep volatility elevated, and the index could see consolidation near resistance zones. The market is expected to remain sensitive to global cues, particularly in the wake of the failed US-Iran ceasefire talks.
