Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Going Into Trade On Nov. 3 (Photo: Envato)

Good morning!

Market Recap

The benchmark indices ended the week in red with Nifty snapping its four-week winning streak. Nifty 50 ended 0.60% lower at 25,722.10 and Sensex closed 0.55% lower at 83,938.71 on Friday. The Nifty fell over 0.64% during the day to 25,711.20, while the Sensex was down 0.59% to 83,905.66.

US Market Wrap

US stocks have climbed to new record highs, even as the Federal Reserve signalled that a December rate cut is not guaranteed and megacap tech earnings delivered a mixed picture.

Since its April decline, the S&P 500 has surged nearly 40%, notching its longest monthly winning streak since 2021. The Nasdaq 100 has been even stronger, posting a seven-month rally, its best stretch in eight years, fuelled by robust tech balance sheets and persistent optimism around AI.

Asian Market Wrap

Asian markets were mixed, with gains in South Korea and losses in Australia. Markets in Japan were shut for a holiday, as was cash trading in Treasuries.

Commodity Check

In commodities, China removed a long-running gold tax incentive, a move that could dampen consumer demand in one of the world’s biggest bullion markets.

OPEC+ said it will pause output increases after implementing another modest hike next month.

Brent traded above $65 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was above $61.

The decision comes as the market faces rising oversupply concerns, with Brent falling 10% over the past three months, though prices have recovered slightly from a five-month low as tighter US sanctions on Russia raised questions over future supply from the major exporter.
