Stocks to Watch Today: Fun Friday, The Last Trading Day Of The Week
Global Cues Drag Indian Markets
The Indian equity markets are eyeing a cautious start today, reflecting weak signals from global peers. GIFT Nifty futures hinted at a lower open early morning, trading 66 points down at 26,154.50. But markets are nothing if not unpredictable, stay tuned!
Asia-Pacific in Red
Markets in the Asia-Pacific opened sharply lower, tracking Wall Street’s overnight flip from gains to losses. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.57% as October’s core inflation surged, raising interest rate speculations. South Korea’s Kospi plunged 4.09%, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 slipped 1.3%. Tech giant SoftBank tumbled over 10%, spooking investors.
US Market Volatility Continues
Wall Street wasn’t kind either. Nasdaq hit its lowest since September 11, dropping 2.2%, while S&P 500 and Dow slipped 1.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Mixed US jobs data and fading hopes for a Fed rate cut kept nerves on edge.
Mid-Morning Twist!
By 8:27 AM, GIFT Nifty clawed back, rising 52 points to 26,205, a small reminder: the market loves a plot twist!
