Stock Market Outlook for July 8:

• Muted Start Despite Positive Overseas Cues: Indian markets opened slightly lower, with the Nifty slipping 0.13% from the previous close. However, positive momentum in Asian markets—led by gains in Hang Seng and Nikkei—may help cap downside pressure.
• Derivatives Signals Indicate Cautious Sentiment: A low Nifty PCR of 0.82 reflects limited bullish bets, while the Max Pain at 25,450 suggests range-bound movement near current levels. Similar signals from Bank Nifty possibly point to consolidation.
• FII-DII Inflows Remain Supportive: Net buying by FIIs (₹321 crore) and strong DII participation (₹1,853 crore) could lend stability to the market, even as weak U.S. cues and lower crude prices weigh on sentiment.
