US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
US stocks were mixed on Thursday as gains in Oil & Gas, Industrials, and Basic Materials boosted shares, while losses in Technology, Telecoms, and Consumer Services weighed them down.
Sector-Specific Movements:
Wall Street indexes showed mixed results.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.6%, reaching a record high of 41,335.05 points on Thursday.
Nvidia’s losses pulled the NASDAQ Composite down 0.2% to 17,516.43 points, while the S&P 500 ended flat at 5,592.0 points.
Economic Indicators:
Initial jobless claims in the US fell to 231,000 from the previous week’s 232,000, slightly above the 230,000 expected. Second-quarter GDP growth was revised up to 3% from the initial 2.8%.
Signs of strength in the US economy give the Fed less reason to cut interest rates sharply, yet this has increased expectations of a soft landing, driving investment into more economically sensitive sectors.
Optimism about interest rate cuts kept Wall Street near record highs, with attention now turning to the upcoming PCE price index data—the Fed's preferred inflation measure—due later in the day.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
The US 10-year Treasury yield rose nearly 3 basis points to 3.869% on Thursday as investors awaited a key inflation report due Friday.
Currency:
The US dollar rose for the second session on Thursday as data showed the economy grew faster than expected in Q2, slightly lowering expectations of a 50 basis-point rate cut by the Fed next month. The dollar index climbed 0.3% to 101.35.
Commodities:
US crude oil futures rose nearly 2% on Thursday, bouncing back after a two-day decline as Libya confirmed significant disruptions in its oil output. Brent's October contract rose $1.29, or 1.64%, to $79.94 per barrel.
Gold prices gained on Thursday, driven by strong expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. Investors are now focused on US inflation data for clues on the cut's potential size. Spot gold rose 0.91% to $2,525.12 per ounce.
Asian Markets
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets climbed on Friday after US economic data eased recession fears, with investors also reviewing multiple data points from Japan.
Tokyo’s inflation rate rose to 2.6% in July from 2.2% in June, marking the highest level since March.
Specific Index Performance:
Japan’s Nikkei 225 was slightly up, and the Topix gained 0.23% following data releases.
South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.55% in early trading, while the small-cap Kosdaq increased by 0.74%
India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:
Gift Nifty indicates a flat opening for the Indian market. After opening flat, Nifty is expected to trade within the 25,000-25,280 range today.
Market in Previous Session:
Nifty and Sensex closed at record highs, with Sensex up 0.43% at 82,134 and Nifty up 0.4% at 25,152, overcoming early volatility due to weak global cues.
Bank Nifty ended flat at 51,152 amid high volatility.
The broader market saw profit booking, with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap down 0.4% and 0.5%, respectively.
Key gainers included Oil & Gas, FMCG, IT, and Auto stocks.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty formed a bull candle with higher highs and lows, marking an 11th consecutive session gain, closing above 25,100.
Sustaining above recent lows of 24,960 could extend the uptrend towards 25,400, aligning with the 123.6% retracement level.
Key support is at 24,800-24,600, near the 20-day EMA at 24,698 and the recent gap area, suggesting a positive bias if maintained.

The highest put OI is at 25,000, followed by 25,100, while the highest call OI is at 26,000, followed by 25,200.
