US bonds too rallied as Republicans are likely to retain control of Senate and therefore a more magnanimous fiscal stimulus package is less likely. US private payrolls grew 365k in October, lower than expectations of 600k. The focus will be on the FOMC tonight and October NFP print due tomorrow. The FOMC is expected to maintain status quo.

COMEX gold trades modestly higher near $1907/oz after a 0.7% decline yesterday. Gold trades higher as the possibility of a contested election in the US has increased safe-haven appeal. Mixed US economic data, rising virus cases and hopes of additional stimulus measures has also lent support. However, weighing on price is ETF outflows and firmer US dollar. Gold may witness choppy trade until US elections results are clear but general bias may be on the upside on hopes of additional measures: Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities

Indian markets could open sharply higher following bullish Asian markets today and sharply positive US markets on Wednesday. The 1-2 day trend of the Nifty is now range bound and Nifty is likely to remain within the 11750-11930 levels in the very near term. Our 3-7 day targets are at 11975-12026 as the Nifty has broken out of a range and made a rounding bottom pattern on the daily chart. Our bullish bets are off if Nifty dives lower and closes below 50-day SMA at 11570. In this scenario, downside targets would be at 11347-11184: HDFC Securities

Indian markets are likely to see a gap up opening tracking positive global cues as markets looked ahead to the outcome of the US presidential elections. However, global news flows and sector-specific developments will be key monitorable. The gap up opening would help index to entirely retrace past fourteen sessions decline (12025-11535) in just four sessions. A faster pace of retracement further corroborates our constructive stance and pave the way to head towards our earmarked target of 12400 by December. Therefore, any temporary breather from here on should be capitalised as an incremental buying opportunity: ICICI Direct Research

Uncertainties over vote outcome in the US kept the world equity indices volatile throughout the day. Nifty traded between the trading range of 11756 and 11930. In the last 18 days, multiple times Nifty has managed to surpass the range of 11950 and 12050, however, it fails to sustain at higher levels. Such types of resistance zone get broken with a gap up opening. Today's opening would be more relevant for market to scale higher. Buying is advisable if Nifty convincingly crosses 12050 levels. Above 12050 levels, Nifty would move in a new trading zone of 12200 and 12300 levels. Expect weakness if Nifty breaks 11750: Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities

Hence, there is a possibility of consolidation or minor profit booking from around 11925-11950 levels in the next session,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
