Pre Market Report & Global Cues | 27 August, 2026

Global cues are slightly weak this morning, but nothing too negative. US markets ended almost flat. There was no strong buying, looks like the market is just taking a pause after the recent move. US 10Y yield is around 4.7% and the dollar index is near 99, both are stable. Asian markets are mixed. South Korea and Taiwan are in green, while Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are slightly down. So overall, no clear direction from Asia. Still, Gift Nifty is indicating a 140–160 point gap-up, so we may see a positive start. Crude has cooled a bit. Brent is around $86, after being near $92–94 just a couple of days back. That’s some relief, but still on the higher side. One thing to watch is IT stocks. Infosys ADR (-2.8%) and Wipro ADR (-2.6%) closed lower, so IT may see some pressure in early trade. There will be stock-specific action today. 1. BEL continues to stay in focus with strong order flow. 2. IRB Infra will be watched after approving a ₹351 Cr investment into its InvIT. 3. NBCC is active with fresh project wins. 4. Juniper Green Energy also in focus after a long-term power agreement. On the weaker side: 1. Max Healthcare may see pressure due to a GST notice. 2. ICICI Prudential AMC could be under pressure due to a ₹3,100 Cr stake sale plan. 3. Honasa Consumer remains in focus after calling off its acquisition. From a sector side: IT may stay weak, while energy stocks will react to crude movement. Today's View: Even though global markets are not very strong, the start looks positive. The key will be whether Nifty can hold the gap-up. If selling comes at higher levels, the move may not sustain. Stock-specific action is likely to dominate today.

Pre Market Report & Global Cues | 26 August, 2026

Global cues are positive this morning. US markets closed higher, with Nasdaq up 0.66%, S&P up 0.32% and Dow up 0.30%. The move was supported by steady buying in tech and easing pressure from bond yields, which are around 4.65%. Asian markets are also largely positive. Hang Seng, Kospi and Shanghai are trading in gains, while only Straits Times is slightly in the red. Reflecting this, Gift Nifty is indicating a strong 150–200 point gap-up, suggesting a firm start for Nifty. One important support is coming from crude. Brent has fallen to around $85.5, which is a good sign for India as it reduces cost pressure. At the same time, the rupee is near 95.4 against the dollar and continues to stay at weak levels, which needs to be watched. There will be good stock-specific action today. In the power and renewable space, Suzlon Energy is in focus after a fresh order win. Ceigall India has received a ₹704 crore highway project, which can keep the stock active. Dabur India gets some relief as the court has stayed the labelling issue for now. Axis Bank may also see some interest after regulatory proceedings were closed. On the negative side, Cipla will be watched after USFDA observations at its plant. Honasa Consumer (Mamaearth) is also in focus after calling off a planned acquisition. Sector-wise, power, OMCs and aviation may see buying interest due to lower crude prices. Pharma stocks could remain stock-specific based on regulatory updates. There are no major domestic events today, so global cues and stock-specific news will drive the market. For today’s session: With strong global support and a positive start expected, Nifty may try to build on momentum. The key will be whether it sustains above 24,400–24,450 zone after the gap-up. If selling comes at higher levels, that will decide how much of the gains can hold.
