The Nifty 50 index is trading with a mild positive bias on August 4, currently at 24,610.60, up 44.65 points or 0.18% at 10:00 AM. The market’s mood is being supported by growing optimism around a possible interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve following softer than expected employment data.
On the domestic front, sectoral indices are showing resilience. Nifty Auto, Metal, Financial Services, FMCG, Pharma, PSU Bank, Consumer Durables, and Oil and Gas indices are all trading in the green, with gains ranging between 0.2% and 0.8%.
The only laggard in early trade is the Nifty IT index, which opened 0.4 % lower amid global tech weakness.
Recent US labor market figures showed slower job growth for July, along with significant downward revisions to the previous two months.
This has strengthened the case for a rate cut in the Fed’s September policy meeting, a development that is broadly supportive for global equities.
Hero MotoCorp is leading the pack with a 2.65% gain to ₹4,425.90 at 10:00 AM on the NSE. The stock opened at ₹4,315.90 and touched an intraday high of ₹4,444.00.
Tata Steel is also trading strong, up 2.14% at ₹156.29, supported by positive momentum in metal stocks.
Power Grid is under pressure, down 1.42% to ₹287.10 despite a steady opening. Tech Mahindra is also trading lower by 0.84% at ₹1,426.70, reflecting weakness across the IT sector.
