Global Market Cues

Asian markets were mostly higher on Tuesday, supported by gains in South Korean auto stocks following tariff relief from the United States.

Conclusion

Markets today are likely to remain range-bound as investors monitor Powell’s comments, global risk sentiment, and domestic primary market activity. The combination of mixed US cues and strength in select Asian markets suggests a cautious start for Indian equities.
