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.
