TSX:6098 12 July 2025

April 29, 2026, 10:12 PM EDT. Indian stock benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 are expected to open lower on April 30, pressured by weak global market signals amid rising crude oil prices and a hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve stance. Futures on the Gift Nifty index indicate a negative start, trading nearly 86 points below Nifty futures' prior close. Despite a strong rally on April 29 where Sensex rose 609 points and Nifty 50 added 182 points, short-term caution dominates. Analysts highlight that Sensex needs to clear the 77,800 mark to trigger further gains towards 78,500-78,700. For Nifty 50, resistance lies near 24,400-24,500 with key support at 24,000. Derivatives data show put and call option activity suggesting a range-bound market. Overall, volatility and cautious trading are expected as markets digest global and domestic signals.
