Nifty 50 May futures (22,620)
Nifty 50 is trading lower. The index does not seem to be getting strong follow-through support after moving up well on Thursday. It is currently trading at 22,534, down 0.15 per cent. The advances/ declines ratio is at 23:24. The mixed picture could see the index move in either direction.
Nifty 50 index outlook
Nifty has come off its intraday high of 22,620. It seems to lack strong follow-through buying above 22,600. That leaves the door open for it to drop to 22,475 during the day. A fall below 22,475 can drag the index further down to 22,400 during the day. A sustained rise above 22,620 is needed for it to gain momentum and rise to 22,700-22,800 levels.
Global indices
Most of the major Asian markets are in the green. Nikkei 225 (38,038), Kospi (2,656) and Hang Seng (17,626) are all up over one per cent each. The Shanghai Composite (3,076) is up about 0.8 per cent.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (38,085.80) has come down sharply. The outlook is bearish. The index can fall to 37,600-37,500 from here. The downside can extend up to 37,200-37,000 in the short-term.
