From Fintech Relief to Defence Dreams: What’s Fueling Market Sentiment Today

Global Markets Recap

Global markets wrapped up the week on a mixed note, primarily impacted by a holiday-shortened trading week in the US. Here’s how the major indices fared:

  • Dow Jones: -2.7%

  • Nasdaq: -2.6%

  • S&P 500: -1.5%

Weakness in the technology and healthcare sectors dragged indices lower, with additional pressure from former President Trump's renewed calls for Fed rate cuts.

In the commodities space, oil prices spiked following US sanctions on Iran, while gold and silver took a hit amid shifting sentiment.

Asian markets opened cautiously ahead of China’s rate decision, and the Gift Nifty is signaling a flat start for Indian equities.

However, with stochastic indicators entering the overbought zone after a sharp 1,400-point rally, short-term consolidation is possible.

➡️ Outlook: Bullish with dips as buying opportunities
