India Market Recap

Indian benchmark indices ended on a mixed note on Thursday as investors remained cautious amid mixed global cues. Sector-wise, metal and PSU Bank stocks were the biggest laggards, while realty and FMCG stocks outperformed and provided support to the broader market. The BSE Sensex gained 119.61 points, or 0.15%, to close at 78,079.96, while the NSE Nifty 50 slipped 40.10 points, or 0.16%, to settle at 24,395.85. On the technical front, Nifty support is placed in the 24,200–24,300 range, while resistance is seen between 24,500 and 24,600.

US Market Recap

Wall Street extended its rally after fresh inflation data indicated that price pressures continue to ease, strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged next month. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% to close at a fresh record high, while the Nasdaq 100 advanced more than 1%, marking its strongest close since late June. Falling Treasury yields further supported investor sentiment, as markets priced in a lower probability of additional rate hikes.

Asian Market Update

Asian markets traded higher on Friday, supported by softer US inflation data and easing oil prices, which improved risk sentiment across the region. MSCI's Asia Pacific Index gained 0.4%, led by a nearly 3% rally in South Korea's Kospi. Japan's Topix advanced 0.4%, while Hang Seng futures slipped 0.6%, reflecting a mixed outlook across regional markets.

Commodity Check

Gold prices were largely unchanged after retreating below $4,400 per ounce, as investors balanced expectations of a steady US interest-rate outlook against hopes for progress in negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Spot gold edged 0.2% higher to $4,359.73 per ounce, remaining on track for its second consecutive weekly gain despite the previous session's decline. Silver, platinum, and palladium traded largely flat. Crude oil prices remained under pressure as discussions over reopening the Strait of Hormuz continued, although sporadic attacks on tankers and energy infrastructure kept supply concerns alive. Brent crude traded near $87 per barrel after falling 2.2% in the previous session, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) hovered around $81 per barrel. Investors will continue to monitor geopolitical developments closely, as any disruption to shipping through the strategic waterway could significantly influence global energy prices.
