The US stock market ended last night on a mixed note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 38,520.45 (+0.42%), supported by gains in financial and energy stocks. The Nasdaq Composite, which is technology-heavy, slipped to 15,220.85 (-0.58%) as profit booking hit big names like Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla. Meanwhile, the S&P 500, the broader benchmark, settled at 5,118.40 (+0.18%).
Volatility remained high as investors analyzed Federal Reserve policy comments, rising bond yields, and expectations from the upcoming inflation data. The financial sector provided strength, while technology shares dragged the indices lower.
---🇪🇺 Europe Market Performance
European equities reflected cautious optimism. London’s FTSE 100 gained 0.35% to close at 7,652.40, driven by energy and mining companies as oil prices rose. Germany’s DAX ended lower by 0.12% at 15,905.20 as auto stocks faced pressure from weak export data. France’s CAC 40 finished at 7,250.60 (+0.25%).
Investor sentiment in Europe continues to be influenced by inflation numbers, ECB policy outlook, and energy prices. Banking stocks provided some support, while consumer discretionary and auto stocks remained under pressure.
---🌏 Asian Market Opening (Pre-Market View)
Asian markets opened cautiously this morning, taking cues from Wall Street. Japan’s Nikkei 225 was trading at 32,480.30 (+0.55%), helped by yen weakness that benefits exporters. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 0.41% to 17,850.15, hit by property sector concerns. China’s Shanghai Composite was almost flat at 3,120.55 (+0.05%). South Korea’s Kospi traded at 2,510.70 (+0.22%).
Overall sentiment remains mixed, with optimism around stimulus in China but caution due to geopolitical tensions in Asia-Pacific.

Meanwhile, US Futures were trading mildly positive with Dow Futures up by +0.15% and Nasdaq Futures by +0.10%, suggesting a stable outlook for Wall Street’s next session.
---💱 Currency & Commodities Update
The Dollar Index (DXY) hovered around 104.25, keeping the dollar strong against major peers. The USD/INR was at 83.10, with limited movement due to RBI intervention.
In commodities, Gold remained firm at $1,945/oz as investors sought safe-haven assets amid market uncertainty. Crude Oil (Brent) rose to $83.20/barrel (+0.75%) as supply cuts and geopolitical tensions supported prices.

Institutional demand, regulatory updates from the US SEC, and adoption trends in Asia continue to impact overall crypto sentiment.
---📌 Impact on Indian Market
With US indices closing mixed, Europe showing selective gains, and Asia opening cautiously, the Indian market is likely to see a mildly positive start. SGX Nifty’s gains reinforce this expectation.
Key sectors to watch: Banking, IT, and Energy. - If global crude prices rise further, energy stocks may remain in focus. - Tech stocks may remain under mild pressure following Nasdaq’s decline. - Banking sector may provide support, tracking positive global financial trends.
Overall, Nifty and Sensex could trade with a positive bias, but volatility is expected due to global economic uncertainties.
