Nifty 50 and Sensex are trading marginally lower. Both the indices are down about 0.12 per cent each. Sensex is trading at 65,803 and Nifty is at 19,587.

The overall picture remains positive. The price action this week indicates that the Nifty has got strong buyers around 19,500 and 19,400. So, for the index to come under pressure only if the Nifty declines below 19,400. But that looks unlikely because, over the last couple of days, the level 19,500 itself is providing strong support. The chances are high for the Nifty to sustain above 19,500 itself. The outlook is bullish. The Nifty can rise to 19,800-19,850 in the coming days.

Asian markets are all in red following the fall in the US markets overnight. Hang Seng (18,274) is down about a per cent. Kospi (2,548) and Shanghai Composite (3,139) are down 0.6 per cent each.

In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (34,443) was down 0.57 on Wednesday. The index has key supports at 34,400 and 34,200. It is important to see if the Dow Jones is sustaining above these supports are not. A break below 34,200 will drag the index down to 34,000 and 33,800. The price action in the coming days will need a close watch.

The Nifty 50 September Futures (19,645) is down marginally by 0.07 per cent. The contract has strong supports at 19,610 and 19,570. As long as the contract stays above these supports, the outlook is bullish. Nifty 50 September Futures contract can rise to 19,700 and 19,750 in the coming sessions.
