Global Markets:
Asia-Pacific markets exhibited a mixed performance on Friday, as U.S. stock futures remained unchanged during Thanksgiving Day, positioning the Nasdaq Composite to conclude a seven-month winning streak. Market participants in Asia will analyze new economic data, including Tokyo’s inflation figures, which serve as a key indicator of Japan’s overall price movements.
In October, headline inflation in Japan’s capital decreased to 2.7%, down from 2.8% in the previous month. Core inflation, excluding fresh food prices while incorporating energy costs, registered at 2.8%, marginally surpassing the commonly cited 2.7% figure. This exceeded the central bank’s 2% target, strengthening the argument for a potential rate increase in the near future. Overnight in the U.S., all three major indexes exhibited minimal fluctuations. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by a modest 10 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures hovered slightly above the neutral point.
Stocks are set to conclude the month on a downward trajectory when trading resumes on Friday. The recent pullback in technology stocks has impacted the major averages this November, amid growing uncertainty regarding the future profitability of AI companies.
Some investors remain optimistic that the recent decline will pave the way for a year-end rally in the major averages, as they take the opportunity to purchase stocks that have been unfairly penalized at more appealing valuations. The U.S. markets observed a closure on Thursday in observance of Thanksgiving Day. The market will conclude its trading session early at 1 p.m. on Friday.
Domestic Market:
The primary equity indices concluded the day with slight increases, marking a continuation of their upward trend for the second consecutive session. The Sensex and Nifty reached new record highs during the trading session before retracting as the day came to a close.
A significant portion of the mid-cap and small-cap sectors continues to exist within a corrective or vulnerable state. Market participants are closely monitoring the forthcoming domestic GDP data, alongside significant events like the US-India trade discussions and the impending RBI policy meeting, all of which may impact short-term market trends. The Nifty finished the day above 26,200, bolstered by robust performance in the banking and financial sectors.
The S&P BSE Sensex increased by 110.87 points, reflecting a rise of 0.13%, reaching a total of 85,720.38. The Nifty 50 index increased by 10.25 points, reflecting a change of 0.04%, reaching a level of 26,215.55.
