The Nifty Cement is the sectoral index for this prediction for Monday. The primary catalyst for the Nifty Cement prediction for Monday is the US Non-Farm Payrolls for July 2026, released at 6 PM IST today after Indian market close, which will determine Monday’s opening gap direction.

SBI Q1 FY27 and Bajaj Finance: Two Opposite Forces Behind the Nifty Cement prediction for Monday
Friday’s session presented two contradictory catalysts for the Nifty Cement prediction for Monday. SBI delivered its strongest quarterly result in recent memory: PAT up 10.23 percent to Rs 21,121 crore, NIM recovered to exactly 3 percent from Q4 FY26’s 2.93 percent and GNPA fell to 1.47 percent, a two-decade low. SBI surged to Rs 1,124.5 intraday before closing at Rs 1,097.20 (+1.12 percent). Simultaneously, Bajaj Finance crashed 5.84 percent to Rs 1,078, the biggest Nifty 50 loser, dragging the financial services sector. Ankit Jaiswal notes that the Nifty Cement prediction for Monday is shaped by which of these two forces dominates on Monday: SBI’s confirmed earnings strength or Bajaj Finance’s Q1 result-related concerns spilling into the broader NBFC sector.

|---|---|
| Immediate Support | 9,800-9,830 |

Kunal Singla observes that India VIX closed Friday at 12.16, unchanged from Thursday’s close. Stable VIX at 12-13 despite the broader market fall is structurally positive for the Nifty Cement prediction for Monday: it means option sellers are not panicking and the August monthly series maintains a defined range. The Nifty Cement prediction for Monday’s support at 9,800-9,830 is the immediate floor heading into Monday.
US NFP: The Nifty Cement prediction for Monday Primary Weekend Variable
US Non-Farm Payrolls for July 2026 releases at 6 PM IST today. A healthy NFP (175,000-230,000 range) supports a Monday gap-up in this outlook as Dow Jones rises and FII risk-on flows return to India on Monday morning. A weak NFP below 130,000 raises US recession concerns and creates a Monday gap-down in this outlook. Ankit Jaiswal recommends checking GIFT Nifty at 9 AM Monday before making any Nifty Cement prediction for Monday position decisions.
