Waiting for NVIDIA US Stocks fell to start the week, ahead of retail earnings and the release of economic data delayed by the government shutdown. In between, there’s earnings from the world’s largest company.

Dow Jones fell 557 points while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each lost 1.3%

When Walmart reports earnings this week, we’ll really be listening for the fundamentals of what they’ll talk about—personally, I’ll be listening for any changes in consumer behavior and any changes in the amount of foot traffic they’re getting

Are they still seeing customers trade down from traditional supermarkets and retailers to Walmart? What’s going on with average check size? I’d be curious to see if they’re still getting an increased share of consumer wallets. And then lastly, I’ll be listening for any color on whether there’s a change in the composition of their discretionary vs. non-discretionary sales.

Nifty 26013.45

Strong Support same 25700

Respect 26200 breakout for trend confirmation, but keep risk tight—badhane se pehle market ka raftaar dekho, as exhausting IPOs and block season often mean consolidation or profit booking ahead.
