Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Before Going Into Trade On Feb. 13

Good Morning!

The GIFT Nifty is trading marginally lower near 25,651 indicating a flat to negative open for the benchmark Nifty 50.

US and European index futures are trading lower during Asian trading hours.

• S&P 500 futures trade down 1.57%.
• Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.27%

Market Recap

Indian equity benchmarks clocked their worst session since Budget day, led by the declines in Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Infosys Ltd. as IT stocks on Thursday entered bear market territory, following a selloff in tech shares in the US on Wednesday.

The BSE Sensex fell 0.7% to below 83,630 and the NSE Nifty 50 managed to close above 25,800 after declining 0.6%. Both the benchmark indices saw their steepest fall since Feb. 1.

US Market Wrap

Worries over tech-sector earnings and weakening commodity markets triggered sharp declines across multiple asset classes, leading to the biggest pullback in equities in more than three weeks. Investors flocked to the safety of government bonds, driving steep selloffs in gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin extending its slide, as per reports from Bloomberg.

The S&P 500 fell 1.6%, while the Nasdaq 100 dropped 2%. Cisco Systems tumbled 12% after its cautious margin forecast suggested rising memory‑chip costs are starting to bite. Major tech giants all finished lower, and a software‑focused ETF sank 2.7%.

Asian Market Check

Asian stocks pulled back from record highs as renewed worries about how artificial intelligence may disrupt different industries weighed on US tech shares and pushed investors toward the safety of US Treasuries, as reported by Bloomberg.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index posted its first decline in six sessions, dragged down largely by losses in Japan, while equities in South Korea managed to notch modest gains.

Commodity Check

Gold held steady after a sharp drop triggered by a broad selloff in global markets — a move that may have been intensified by algorithm-driven trading. The metal hovered around $4,920 an ounce in early trading, following a 3.2% plunge in the prior session, its steepest daily decline in a week, as per reports from Bloomberg.

Crude prices were also under pressure. Oil was on track for its first consecutive weekly loss of the year amid a risk‑off mood across markets, growing worries about an oversupply of crude, and expectations that negotiations between the US and Iran over a nuclear agreement could drag on. West Texas Intermediate stabilized below $63 a barrel after sliding nearly 3% on Thursday, while Brent settled above $67.
