The US markets are volatile due to the failure of regional banks and the debt ceiling issue. Asian markets are mixed, but the SGX Nifty indicates a 50-60 point gap down.
The Nifty is struggling around 18,100 and may open closer to 18,000. HDFC will be declaring results, and Apple will come out with results tomorrow. The May series is expected to be challenging, with a correction potentially taking the Nifty to 17,800.
Falling crude oil prices benefit India, but the government may not pass on the benefits to consumers, however we need not get demotivated as at least govt is getting benefitted and they can support crude price by passing subsidy when it goes beyond control.

Evening Update
The Indian stock market had a stable and broad-based rally, showing no intraday volatility and moving higher with excellent performance, with the Bank Nifty leading the way. HDFC Bank hit a 52-week high, and non-IT stocks were doing better than expected. However, there are concerns about the market moving too high too soon, and it may not be able to continue going against the global trend for long.
There are uncertainties such as the Karnataka state election and the US debt ceiling issue. Corporate results have been good, and FIIS are buying for thousands of crores every day. Domestic institutions also bought for 441 crores. The hope is that time value will help the Bulls settle the market over the next few weeks. However, concerns remain, as the global markets are bleeding, and some US regional banks are down 40%, while others are down 20-40%.
HDFC pack always shine when FIIs buy and this was the reason for Hdfc bank doing well despite tanking of regional banks in USA.
