Nifty Chemicals Tue: 23,470 (-0.5%). Day range: 23,315-23,605. Support 23,300-23,350. Resistance 23,700-23,800. RBI 5 Aug 10 AM IST.
The Nifty Chemicals prediction for tomorrow for Wednesday 5 August 2026 comes after Tuesday’s cautious session where the Nifty 50 fell 159 points or 0.64 percent to 24,614.90 as Tehran denied US-Iran peace talks, sending Brent crude recovering from 82 US dollars to approximately 84 US dollars. Bank Nifty fell approximately 1.3 percent as banks led the decline with HDFC Bank and Axis Bank among top losers. India VIX rose to approximately 13.15, reflecting pre-RBI anxiety. The dominant event for the Nifty Chemicals prediction for tomorrow is the Reserve Bank of India Monetary Policy Committee rate decision at 10 AM IST Wednesday, with a unanimous hold at 5.25 percent widely expected. Nifty Chemicals edged down 0.5 percent Tuesday as crude oil’s recovery from 82 to approximately 84 US dollars partially reversed Monday’s feedstock cost improvement for specialty and bulk chemical manufacturers. Naphtha, ethylene and benzene prices, derived from crude oil, form the primary input cost for most chemical companies. The Nifty Chemicals prediction for tomorrow balances this partial crude recovery against the structural China-Plus-One export market share gains that Indian chemical companies have been achieving.
