India’s benchmark equity indices, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are poised for a positive start on Monday, buoyed by encouraging global market cues. Sentiment is being lifted by renewed optimism over progress in the US-China trade discussions and a sustained ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which is helping ease geopolitical concerns in the Middle East.
At 07:50 AM, Gift Nifty was trading around the 25,764.50 level in early hours, reflecting a premium of about 30points over the previous Nifty futures close signalling a slightly positive opening for Indian markets.
Investors will be closely monitoring a series of market-moving factors this week:
Asian equity markets opened on a strong note, tracking gains on Wall Street from the previous week. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged 1.68%, while the broader Topix rose 0.96%. South Korea’s Kospi climbed 0.85%, with the Kosdaq remaining relatively flat. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures pointed to a strong opening, reflecting improved investor sentiment across the region.
US equities ended the week on a high, with all three major indices posting weekly gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 432.43 points (1.00%) to close at 43,819.27. The S&P 500 rose 32.05 points (0.52%) to finish at a record 6,173.07, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 105.55 points (0.52%) to settle at a fresh high of 20,273.46.
In macro news, the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge—rose 0.1% in May, mirroring April’s increase and aligning with economists’ expectations. On an annual basis, PCE inflation ticked up to 2.3% from 2.2% in April, suggesting a steady disinflationary trend.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the resolution of disputes related to rare earth shipments and magnets between the US and China. He also indicated that the administration’s trade agreements with 18 major partners could be finalised by Labour Day (September 1), potentially setting the stage for a broader improvement in global trade sentiment.
