GIFT Nifty signals a negative start for D-Street. Here’s the trading setup for today’s session

Nifty regained the 25,000 mark on Monday after an indication from the US Fed that interest rate cuts are most likely to start from its September meeting.

“Indian markets are expected to follow gains seen in the US stock market, as the likelihood of a “soft landing” for the global economy increases amid signs of economic softening. A potential rate cut by the Fed would likely boost market sentiment and drive up stock prices,” said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart.

Here’s breaking down the pre-market actions:
