Global Markets:

On Tuesday, markets in the Asia-Pacific region experienced a decline, influenced by a technology-driven downturn on Wall Street. Overnight in the U.S., stocks experienced a pullback, hindered once again by declines in the tech sector, as Wall Street anticipated significant releases this week, including Nvidia’s earnings and the September jobs report.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 557.24 points, or 1.18%, finishing at 46,590.24. This downturn was driven by losses in the artificial intelligence chip sector, as well as declines in Salesforce and Apple, which contributed to the blue-chip index’s drop. The S&P 500 declined by 0.92%, closing at 6,672.41, whereas the Nasdaq Composite fell by 0.84%, finishing at 22,708.07.

The AI sector encountered market pressure, as Nvidia experienced a decline of nearly 2% in anticipation of its third-quarter results set to be released on Wednesday after the market close. This decline, observed among other AI-related stocks, indicated increasing investor concerns about inflated valuations within the chipmaker and associated technology firms. The concern also affected financial institutions associated with the sector. Blue Owl Capital, a private credit lender, experienced a decline of nearly 6% due to concerns regarding its significant lending exposure to the current AI data center expansion.

Domestic Market:

The headline equity indices concluded the trading day on a positive note, achieving their sixth consecutive session of increases. The market showed signs of recovery, bolstered by the Reserve Bank of India’s newly implemented relief measures aimed at assisting exporters affected by recent tariff disruptions. Investors displayed a favorable response as the Q2 earnings season approached its conclusion.

Sentiment showed further improvement as participants kept a close watch on the developments regarding a potential India-US trade agreement. The Nifty concluded the trading session above the 26,000 threshold. Public sector banks, automobiles, and consumer durables experienced significant buying interest, while the overall market continued to show support.

The S&P BSE Sensex increased by 388.17 points, reflecting a rise of 0.46%, closing at 84,950.95. The Nifty 50 index experienced an increase of 103.40 points, representing a rise of 0.40%, closing at 26,013.45. Over the course of six consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex experienced an increase of 2.08%, whereas the Nifty saw a gain of 2.04%.
