“Normal monsoon + lower crude = easing inflation,”

🧠 EduInvesting Take:
This ain’t just about charts anymore.
It’s about crude, clouds, and credit ratings.
If global cues stay neutral and SGX Nifty shows green on Monday morning, expect early gains. But sustainability will depend on:
- Institutional flows by 10:30 AM
- Holding key levels: 24,750+ Nifty and 80,900+ Sensex
So whether you’re carrying longs or planning a quick scalp, remember:
“First 30 minutes decide the vibe. Everything after that is just exit strategy.”
📅 Next Key Events:
- Monsoon Spread Update – IMD bulletin likely by Tuesday
