KOSPI May Run Out Of Steam On Friday

The South Korea stock market has advanced for three consecutive sessions, gaining nearly 35 points or 1.2% during this period. The KOSPI now stands just above the 2,890-point level, although the rally may face resistance on Friday.

Global forecasts for the Asian markets suggest profit-taking, especially within the technology sectors. While European markets showed gains, U.S. bourses closed lower, and Asian markets are expected to follow the latter trend.

On Thursday, the KOSPI finished modestly higher, supported by gains in financial shares, technology stocks, and industrials. The index climbed 23.36 points, or 0.81%, to close at 2,891.35. Trading volume was robust, with 453 million shares exchanged, valued at 14.4 trillion won. There were 438 gainers compared to 414 decliners.

Among the most active stocks, Shinhan Financial jumped 1.96%, while KB Financial and SK Telecom both rallied 2.15%. Hana Financial rose 0.49%. In the technology sector, Samsung Electronics slipped 0.23%, but Samsung SDI surged 4.42%. LG Electronics gained 0.63%, and SK Hynix advanced 0.84%. Naver declined 0.79%.

In the chemicals and energy sectors, LG Chem soared 2.95%, Lotte Chemical strengthened 1.32%, and S-Oil added 0.60%. Conversely, SK Innovation dropped 1.11%. Metals giant POSCO skyrocketed 6.24%, while KEPCO increased 0.81%. Automotive stocks also showed strength: Hyundai Mobis improved 0.86%, Hyundai Motor climbed 1.46%, and Kia Motors rose 0.25%.

Wall Street’s lead was mostly negative on Thursday as major U.S. averages opened lower. The Dow inched slightly into positive territory, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ retreated from record highs. The Dow rose by 32.39 points (0.08%) to finish at 39,753.75. However, the NASDAQ plunged 364.04 points (1.95%) to close at 18,283.41, and the S&P 500 fell 49.37 points (0.88%) to end at 5,584.54.

Early optimism regarding interest rate prospects helped Wall Street open strong, but enthusiasm waned as traders appeared to have already priced in a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September. The subsequent sell-off resulted from investors taking profits after recent market advances, notably in leading tech stocks such as AI favorite Nvidia (NVDA), which led the retreat.

Despite the pullback, the Federal Reserve is still widely expected to lower interest rates in September. This outlook was reinforced by a Labor Department report indicating that prices in the U.S. unexpectedly edged slightly lower in June.

Oil futures settled higher on Thursday, buoyed by hopes for an interest rate cut following the encouraging inflation data. However, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures for August ended down $0.52 at $82.62 per barrel.

Market Outlook: Technical Call of The Day & Top 5 Stocks In Focus For October 3

Nifty index opened on a flattish note around the 24,620 zone, with bulls taking charge right from the opening tick, maintaining momentum throughout the session. Supported by the RBI policy outcome, a wave of short covering further fueled the rally, enabling the index to break its nine-day losing streak. Nifty smoothly crossed and held above key hurdles at 24,750-24,800, eventually forming a large bullish candle on the daily chart.

This move negated the sequence of lower highs and lower lows seen over the past nine sessions, with the index closing the day with strong gains of 225 points. Now, it needs to hold above the 24,750 zone for an up move towards 25,000, followed by 25,100 levels. On the downside, support is shifting higher to 24,750 and then 24,600.

**Option Front Analysis:**
– Maximum Call Open Interest (OI) is at 25,000 and 24,900 strikes
– Maximum Put OI is at 24,600 and 24,700 strikes
– Call writing observed at 24,950 and 25,000 strikes
– Put writing noted at 24,700 and 24,600 strikes

Option data suggests a broader trading range between 24,300 to 25,300, with an immediate range between 24,600 and 25,100.

S&P BSE Sensex opened on a steady note around the 81,170 zone. Bulls seized control from the start, keeping momentum strong throughout the session. The RBI policy announcement acted as a trigger for short covering, propelling the rally and ending the recent losing streak.

The index comfortably crossed and sustained above key hurdles at 80,500 and 81,000, forming a large bullish candle on the daily chart. This rebound negated the sequence of lower highs and lower lows that had persisted recently. Sensex closed the day with robust gains of nearly 700 points.

The index now needs to hold above the 80,600 zone for an upward move towards 81,200 and then 81,500 levels. On the downside, support is rising to 80,600 and then 80,300.

**Bank Nifty** opened flat but witnessed strong buying momentum after the RBI monetary policy outcome, extending gains toward the 55,400 zone late in the session. It formed a large bullish candle on the daily scale, with strong buying seen across private banks.

The Bank Nifty closed near 55,350 with decent gains of around 700 points. This rate-sensitive index is now above its 50-day exponential moving average (DEMA) and is relatively outperforming the broader market.

Key levels to watch:
– Support at 55,000 and 54,750
– Upside targets at 55,750 and 56,000

**Nifty Futures:**
Nifty futures closed positive with gains of 0.83% at 24,982 levels.

Positive setups were seen in stocks like Shriram Finance, Piramal Pharma, LTF, Nykaa, SRF, Sun Pharma, APL Apollo, GMR Airport, AB Capital, and ONGC.

Weakness was observed in Delhivery, Cummins India, AU Bank, Bajaj Auto, Tata Steel, Max Health, Infosys, Tata Elxsi, Petronet, and Ultratech Cement.

### SWSOLAR – Technical Call of the Day

The stock has been trading sideways since early August and witnessed a downward trajectory from the last week of September. However, it has respected its April lows and managed to close above those levels, as highlighted by the trend line on the chart.

In the past two sessions, volumes have picked up, supported by positive RSI divergence visible on daily charts, reflecting a strong bounce back from oversold zones. With a healthy order book, the risk-reward ratio looks favorable for SWSOLAR.

**Recommendation:**
– Buy SWSOLAR
– Current Market Price (CMP): 244.95
– Stop Loss (SL): 223.25
– Target (TGT): 270.70
