Speaking on the outlook of the Indian stock market, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, “This week, markets are expected to extend gains, supported by progress in US–China trade talks and low domestic inflation. Institutional flows remain strong, with FIIs and DIIs investing around ₹33,000 crore month-to-date in May. India’s retail inflation slowed to 3.16%, providing scope for further interest rate cuts to support economic growth. On the trade front, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is in the US (May 17–20) for key negotiations, aiming for an interim tariff agreement ahead of a broader trade deal targeted for Sep/Oct 2025.”

On the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, “The Nifty 50 index took a breather after the recent strong rally and formed a tiny red candle on the daily scale. However, on the weekly scale, Nifty formed a big green candle and witnessed a fresh breakout, indicating strength. As per this breakout, the index can test 25,500–25,800 in the medium term. Immediate support for Nifty is placed near the 24,800–24,850 zone. Thus, traders are advised to follow a buy-on-dips strategy.”

Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, “A decisive breakout above 55,500 could resume the prior rally, with the next resistance zone placed near 56,100-56,500. The immediate support is around 54,800, followed by 54,500, which aligns with the channel median.”
