Global Markets:
Asian markets exhibited a mixed performance on Tuesday as investors remained focused on evaluating the specifics of a potential agreement between the U.S. and Iran aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict. Early this week, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran had reached a deal to conclude the conflict in the Middle East. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that both parties have agreed to cease military operations across all fronts, with an official signing ceremony scheduled for this Friday in Switzerland. A senior official from the Trump administration has reportedly indicated that the memorandum of understanding was signed electronically on Sunday. The president also stated that the crucial Strait of Hormuz passageway would resume operations on Friday, resulting in a nearly 5% decline in oil prices on Monday.
Vice President JD Vance reportedly stated that the strait would “be opened in a toll-free way for the long term.” Meanwhile, China’s retail sales experienced a decline for the first time in over three years in May, indicating a worsening economic downturn, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday. Retail sales, an indicator of consumer spending, experienced a decrease in May for the first time since December 2022, falling by 0.6% compared to the previous year. Industrial output demonstrated a notable increase, rising 4.5% in May, surpassing the widely reported estimates of 4.3% growth and recovering from April’s near three-year low of 4.1%. The Chinese national unemployment rate decreased to 5.1% in May, down from 5.2% in April.
Overnight on Wall Street, stocks experienced an uptick on Monday, marking the beginning of the holiday-shortened trading week. This movement was fuelled by SpaceX’s continued rally and the announcement from President Donald Trump regarding a reached agreement to conclude the conflict between the U.S. and Iran. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 468.77 points, representing a rise of 0.92%, achieving a record close of 51,671.03. The 30-stock index reached a new all-time intraday high during the session. The S&P 500 climbed 1.65% to 7,554.29, while the Nasdaq Composite popped 3.07% to end at 26,683.94.
Domestic Market:
The primary equity benchmark indices continued to rise for a second straight session on Monday, bolstered by a significant drop in crude oil prices and positive sentiment regarding a potential US-Iran peace agreement. Purchasing activity was widespread, as the majority of sectoral indices concluded in positive territory. Investor sentiment experienced an uplift due to robust global indicators, an appreciating rupee, and a reduction in market volatility.
The Nifty concluded the session above the 23,850 threshold, driven by advancements in consumer durables and automotive sectors. However, pharmaceutical and healthcare stocks diverged from the overall market trend and finished the day in the red. The S&P BSE Sensex increased by 736.38 points, reflecting a rise of 0.97%, reaching a total of 76,264.33. The Nifty 50 index experienced an increase of 231 points, reflecting a rise of 0.98%, reaching a level of 23,853.90.
