WHAT HAPPENED AT WALL STREET IN OVERNIGHT TRADE:

# Wall Street extends losses as investors take a cautious stance ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's Friday speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.

As of writing, Wall Street is hoping for hints of a September rate cut.

# Hurting sentiments were also Fed minutes which point to a rising near-term inflation in the US.

Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting also showed officials were divided, with most agreeing it was too soon to cut rates despite growing concerns over inflation and a weakening labor market.

# Gold prices ($3339 per ounce) traded with positive bias after the release of latest FOMC minutes, supported by expectations of a September rate cut and a softer US dollar that boosted yellow metal.

# WTI crude oil futures traded higher near the $63.15 a barrel supported by a bigger-than-expected weekly drop in US crude inventories.

# STOCK MARKET NEWS:

# Well, there is a bright chance that Nifty could edge lower and snap its 6-day winning streak.

# That brings us to our call of the day which suggests caution shall be the buzzword for benchmark Nifty as the Federal Reserve minutes have pointed to rising near-term inflation in the US.

# Caution is also warranted for the day as the big question remains: Can Nifty climb the ‘Wall of Worry’ of 50% Trump’s tariff to come into effect this August 27th?

# The next big catalyst to watch: All eyes will be on the Jackson Hole Symposium, as the street will watch the speech by US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell scheduled on August 22.

# Nifty View: The intraday/interweek risk shifts to neutral after 6-days of spectacular gains with key supports to watch at Nifty’s 21-DMA at 24763 mark. Immediate biggest support at Nifty’s 100 DMA at 24621 mark

On the upside, Nifty shall face major hurdles at 25250 mark and then at 25670 mark (High as on June 30th)

# Long Story short: Nifty may witness some mild profit booking amidst slight overbought technical conditions.

# The Gyan Mantra: Stay light on any excessive intraday strength on Nifty. Makes sense to stay nimble.

# Now, before we get into detail of today’s trading session, here is the preferred trade on Nifty and Bank Nifty:

Nifty (25084): Sell at CMP. Stop at 25751. Targets 24900/24775. Aggressive targets at 24336-24400 zone.

Bank Nifty (55755): Sell between 55900-56100 zone. Stop at 56951. Targets 55500/55200. Aggressive targets at 54700 mark.

# Our chart of the day is bullish on CIPLA, DR REDDYS LAB and HDFC BANK on any early excessive intraday weakness with an interweek/Intermonth perspective.

# The 1 Stock to SELL Right Now: SELL ANGEL ONE (CMP 2538): Sell at CMP. Stop at 2711. Targets 2457/2401. Aggressive targets at 2221. (Interweek Strategy).
