   Indian Markets snapped four day losing streak; Broader markets outperformed Wall Street Ends Higher as Anthropic IPO Filing Fuels AI Optimism Wall Street began the week on a firm footing, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 146 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.8%, led by technology shares. The artificial-intelligence theme received a fresh boost after Anthropic filed for an initial public offering on the Nasdaq. Semiconductor stocks rallied sharply, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) rising nearly 3%. Nvidia gained 2.4%, Micron 3%, Broadcom 2.3% and AMD 2.8%. US Treasury yields remained largely unchanged, with the 10-year yield closing just below 5%. Oil prices edged lower after reports that officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan met Iranian counterparts as part of efforts to ease regional tensions and support negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. West Texas Intermediate futures slipped to nearly $101 per barrel, while Brent crude declined to $109.50 per barrel. Investor attention now shifts to a heavy corporate-earnings calendar and the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged when it releases its policy statement on Wednesday. The US central bank is widely expected to hold rates steady, with fed-funds futures pricing a 90% probability that the target range will remain at 3.75%–4%. Markets will, however, look for clues on a possible rate hike in December. Wall Street is also monitoring the November 3 US midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress. Asian markets are trading mostly higher today following Wall Street's rally after Anthropic filed for an initial public offering (IPO) and renewed investor appetite for AI related stocks. South Korea’s Kospi and Japan’s Nikkei 225 trading with gains of 2% and 4% respectively while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng trading with minor losses. Coming to our markets, Nifty snapped a four-session losing streak, gaining 153 points to close at 22,753. It was a highly volatile session, with the index swinging in both directions through first part of the session. The bulls regained control in the second half, driving a recovery of over 200 points from the mid-session low and pushing the index to finish near the day’s high. Market breadth strengthened, with the BSE advance–decline ratio climbing sharply to 1.21, signalling renewed buying interest in mid- and small-cap stocks following last week’s steep correction. The Indian rupee fell for a third straight session, losing 25 paise to close at 95.19 against the US dollar, pressured by weaker Asian currencies and rising domestic bond yields. With three key central-bank decisions due this week, currency volatility is likely to remain elevated. Six Nifty constituents—Bajaj Auto, Cipla, Larsen & Toubro, Maruti Suzuki, SBI Life Insurance and Tata Steel—are scheduled to report their quarterly results today. Nifty successfully defended Friday’s low of 22,372 yesterday and staged an intraday reversal. The short-term trend would turn bullish on a sustained move above 22,800. Above this level, the index could extend its recovery toward the next resistance of 23,175. Conversely, a break below 22,372 could resume the downward move, opening the door for a decline toward the 22,100–22,200 support band. Price action over the next three sessions is likely to be shaped by derivative expiries—NSE today and BSE on Thursday—along with key central-bank policy decisions due this week. After yesterday’s sharp pullback rally, the Nifty is likely to open on a subdued note, tracking mixed Asian market cues.

   Tech Slides on AI Spending Worries; Oil Jumps to One-Month High on Geopolitical Tensions U.S. equities sold off sharply on Thursday as renewed concerns over artificial-intelligence spending combined with a surge in crude prices. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% to 26,008.86, its worst session since June while the S&P 500 lost 1.21% to 7,663.43, its biggest daily decline since July. The Dow Jones Industrial Average bucked the trend, closing marginally higher by 11.89 points, or 0.02%, at 52,867.98, aided by strength in financials. Investors rotated away from technology into defensive sectors such as utilities, consumer staples and healthcare. Meta Platforms dropped 7%, despite beating revenue expectations and issuing upbeat guidance, as investors focused on the scale of its AI-related spending. Advanced Micro Devices fell more than 8%, while Micron Technology and Nvidia dropped 6% and 4%, respectively. Safe-haven demand lifted U.S. Treasuries, with the 10-year yield falling more than 17 basis points to 4.972%, its lowest level in nearly a month. The two-year yield shed over 16 basis points to 4.659%. Oil prices jumped to a one-month high amid reports that the U.S. and Israel may launch renewed strikes against Iran after next month’s U.S. midterm elections. Brent crude rose 4% to settle at $113.17 per barrel, while WTI gained 2.39% to $99.47 per barrel. Precious metals came under pressure, with silver futures sliding nearly 5% to around $55 per troy ounce—the lowest close since November 2025. Gold also fell sharply to a near three-month low of $4,025 per ounce. Japan’s core inflation rose to 2.1% in September, the highest this year and above expectations, driven by a weaker yen and higher energy-related import costs. Asian markets trading mixed as investors reduced exposure to technology majors on doubts over AI spending and moved toward safer assets such as Treasuries and the yen. South Korea’s Kospi fell nearly 2%, Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped 1.8%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index trading higher by 0.2%. Coming to our markets, Nifty slipped for a third straight session, shedding 123 points to settle at 22,687. It was a highly volatile trading session with the index swinging in both directions through most part of the day. Broader markets continued to underperform. The Nifty Midcap 100 fell 0.87%, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 dropped 1.14% to its lowest level since June 12, 2026. Market breadth stayed weak, with the advance–decline ratio at 0.52, pointing to continued broad-based profit-booking across mid- and small-cap stocks. The Indian rupee snapped an eight-day winning streak, weakening 36 paise to close at 94.82 against the dollar. The currency was pressured by dollar buying, higher crude prices amid geopolitical tensions and overall risk aversion. Four Nifty constituents—Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Infosys, JSW Steel and Shriram Finance—are scheduled to declare their quarterly results today. On the daily chart, the Nifty formed a Doji candle, signalling indecision after a volatile session. A move above yesterday’s high of 22,785 could indicate a short-term trend reversal and open the door for a recovery toward 23,175, the next key resistance. On the downside, 22,500 remains the immediate support. Nifty is likely to open with modest gains, tracking mixed global cues and sharp fall in U.S. Treasury yields.

   Wall Street Rallies as SpaceX Quarterly Results Boost AI Tech Sentiment U.S. equity markets closed higher on Wednesday as corporate earnings remained in focus. Better-than-expected revenue and earnings from SpaceX, along with the latest developments around SpaceX and Tesla, led investors to rotate back into technology stocks. The Nasdaq Composite added 1.05% to end at 26,702, while the S&P 500 rose 0.58% to 7,757. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 360 points, or 0.69%, to close at 52,856. Shares of SpaceX surged 7% after the company reported 161% year-on-year revenue growth in the third quarter. Elon Musk also said that SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to discuss a potential merger. However, U.S. stock futures trading lower as investors digested third-quarter earnings from major technology companies, including Meta, Tesla and IBM. Dow futures were down nearly 150 points, while Nasdaq futures declined almost 200 points. Treasury yields ended largely unchanged as investors awaited fresh economic data ahead of next week’s Federal Reserve interest-rate decision. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rose less than 1 basis point to 5.123%. Brent crude futures trading higher by $1.57, or 1.5%, to $110.39 a barrel while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude trading higher by $ 1.21 or 1.26%, to $98.36 as US orders diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia amid escalating tensions. Asian markets trading lower tracking weak U.S. futures. South Korea’s Kospi fell nearly 2%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index declined 2%, and Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped 0.7%. Coming to our markets, the Nifty fell for the second consecutive session yesterday, shedding 77 points to close at 22,811. From the day’s high, the index fell sharply by 470 points to an intraday low of 22,650. Buying in the final half-hour, along with a gain of more than 70 points in the closing auction session (CAS), helped the index recover 161 points from the day’s low. Broader markets significantly underperformed the benchmarks. The Nifty Midcap 100 slipped 1.60% to a six-month low, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 plunged 2.40% to a four-month low. Market breadth remained weak, with the advance–decline ratio falling sharply to 0.28, underscoring broad-based profit-booking across mid- and small-cap stocks. The Indian rupee strengthened for an eighth consecutive session, appreciating 47 paise to close at four months high at 94.46—its longest winning streak since March 2025. The sustained momentum has been anchored by strategic central-bank intervention, healthy foreign inflows into the primary market and profit-taking in the US dollar. From the derivative pack, Adani enterprise, Colgate, Havells, Hpcl, Nam India, Sagility and Swiggy are going to decare its quarterly result today. Although Nifty breached the crucial 22,800 support intraday, it managed to close above the level, keeping hopes of an uptrend alive. Immediate support is placed at 22,650, followed by 22,500, while the recent swing high of 23,175 may act as near-term resistance. Indian markets are expected to open lower today, tracking weak Asian market cues.
