Nifty 50 Index (INDEXNSE: NIFTY_50) is marginally up in early afternoon trading on Thursday adding 50 points to rise to 25,503 points.

As the July 9 deadline for US trade deals draw near, investors are growing optimistic that negotiations between the world’s largest and fifth-largest economies have yielded good fruit. Delegations from both nations have in recent days describes the deal as “very close”, signaling a near-term resolution.
Notably, export-heavy stocks led the Nifty 50 Index today, with IT and auto stocks such as Infosys, Tata Motors, M&M and Reliance Industries edging up. Automakers rallied, propelled by optimism that lower tariffs could reduce input costs and expand market opportunities abroad. Meanwhile, IT stocks are boosted by hope that a US-India trade deal could come up with clearer trade terms and lift fears over service exports.
Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 Index flows also had significant input from Domestic Institutional Investors (DII).

Nifty 50 Index Prediction
The momentum on Nifty 50 Index faviurs the upside to prevail above 25,510. That will likely see primary resistance encountered at 25,590. However, a stronger momentum will breach that barrier and could potentially push the action higher to test 25,660.
Conversely, breaking below 25,510 will shift the momentum to the downside. With the sellers in control, the Index will likely find initial support at 25,435. Breaking below that level will invalidate the upside narrative. Furthermore, an extended control by the sellers could send the action lower to test 25,370.
