Remember, markets rarely move in a straight line, especially in times like these. Stay patient, stick to your strategy, and don’t get swayed by short-term noise. Keep a close eye on global cues and quarterly results — they might just guide your next smart move. What’s your plan to make the most of today’s market? Let’s get started and trade smart!

What Could Move The Stock Market Today With Global Cues: All Eyes on Fed as July Meeting Begins
What Will Drive the Market Today?
Investors should prepare for a cautiously optimistic session as the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged amid mixed economic data. All eyes will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks later today, as markets look for guidance on the economic and inflation outlook. How do you think Powell’s comments will influence the market sentiment?
Rising U.S. interest rates have continued to weigh on emerging markets like India, making them somewhat less attractive to foreign investors. This trend was reflected in significant foreign outflows of ₹46.37 billion ($532 million) on Tuesday, contributing to a total of $1.61 billion sold so far this month. Does this shift affect your investment strategy?
Adding to the cautious tone is India’s approaching U.S. trade deadline on August 1, with tariffs of 20–25% likely on certain exports, which has dampened investor confidence to some extent.
However, there are positive signs too. Stocks such as Larsen & Toubro, supported by strong quarterly earnings and expanding overseas contracts, could offer market support. Keep an eye on sectoral performances and global cues — opportunities often arise during challenging times.
