Global Markets:
Asian stocks declined on Thursday, extending a recent downward trend. Investors remain cautious as US inflation data pointed to persistent price pressures, raising doubts about the likelihood of future interest rate cuts. Meanwhile, hopes for additional stimulus measures in China have yet to materialize.
The initial post-election rally in US equities appears to be waning. On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.11%, while the S&P 500 index climbed 0.02%, and the NASDAQ Composite index lost 0.23%.
US consumer price index (CPI) data for October came in line with expectations, but still indicated persistent inflationary pressures. The annual CPI rose to 2.6% from 2.4% in September. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased to 3.3% year-over-year.
While these figures still support the case for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve, the longer-term outlook for interest rates remains uncertain, especially given the potential inflationary impact of Trump's policies.
Investors are now awaiting a speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell for further guidance on monetary policy. The Fed cut rates by 25 basis points last week and reaffirmed its data-dependent approach to future easing.
Domestic Market:
The domestic equity benchmarks extended their losing streak on Wednesday, with the Nifty 50 index slipping into correction territory. This marks the fifth consecutive day of decline, pushing the Nifty over 10% below its all-time high of 26,277.35, achieved in September. Realty, PSU banks and metal shares tumbled. However, FMCG, and IT shares bucked the trend. The S&P BSE Sensex tumbled 984.23 points or 1.25% to 77,690.95. The Nifty 50 index declined 324.40 points or 1.36% to 23,559.60. The 50-unit index has fallen 3.78% in five sessions.
