🌅 Morning Market Snapshot – 13 Aug 2025

Global cues are looking strong this morning after Wall Street surged overnight.
The S&P 500 gained 1.1% and the Nasdaq jumped 1.4%, closing at fresh record highs as softer US inflation data revived hopes for an earlier rate cut.

Key Overnight & Domestic Developments:

  • US CPI cooled to 2.7% YoY vs. an estimate of 2.8%, sparking optimism that the Fed will move on rates sooner.

  • Markets now see a 94% probability of a rate cut in the September FOMC meeting.

  • India CPI (July) came in at 1.55%, an eight-year low, sharply below the RBI’s 2–6% target band — adding room for policy support and boosting sentiment for rate-sensitive sectors.

  • GIFT Nifty is trading +128 pts at 24,631, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market.

  • US 10-year yield edged up 3 bps to 4.3% — bond market steady despite rate cut bets.

  • Brent Crude dipped to $66.5, easing cost pressures.

  • Dollar Index softened to 98.1, supportive for EM currencies.

  • Key event to watch: Fed Atlanta President Raphael Bostic’s speech today for fresh policy cues.

Stocks in News (Post Yesterday’s Close):

  • Apollo Hospitals – Q1 profit up 42% YoY to ₹433 crore; strong revenue growth and acquisition of Gleneagles PET-CT unit could lift stock.

  • Suzlon Energy – Robust Q1 with 55% revenue growth and margin expansion; CFO resignation may temper sentiment.

  • NSDL – Q1 profit up 15% YoY, strong EBITDA despite revenue dip.

  • Jindal Steel – Net profit up 12% YoY, with notable margin improvement.

  • Oil India – Q1 profit surged 45% QoQ, margins slightly weaker but PAT beat estimates.

  • Cochin Shipyard – Q1 revenue up 38% YoY, healthy earnings growth.

Our Outlook for the Day:
The combination of record Wall Street highs, India’s CPI at multi-year lows, and soft crude prices sets a very bullish tone for today’s session. With GIFT Nifty indicating a gap-up, we expect buying momentum in banking, auto, and midcap names. However, traders should monitor Fed commentary later in the day for any tone shifts.

Intraday cues:

  • First hour likely to see strong follow-through buying.

  • Rate-sensitive sectors (banks, autos, real estate) could outperform.

  • Midcaps may see momentum continuation on positive earnings.

  • If Nifty sustains above the gap-up zone for 30–45 mins, a trend day on the upside is possible.

Sentiment meter: 🌟 Bullish to start — aided by both global and domestic macro tailwinds.
