Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Going Into Trade On May 27

Good morning!

The GIFT Nifty was down 0.04% at 25,028.5 as of 07:38 a.m., signaling a muted start to Indian markets today.

Asian shares opened cautiously on Tuesday as investors awaited new trade developments that could influence demand for US assets. Tariff-related news continued to dominate the market, with investors closely monitoring how President Donald Trump's administration is handling relations with Japan and India following earlier talks with China that had raised optimism.

Trade tensions and concerns over the US fiscal situation have dampened demand for US assets, a trend most evident in the weakening of the dollar.

In Japan, yields on super-long bonds declined ahead of a Wednesday auction expected to gauge demand after a recent sale that unsettled global markets.

Meanwhile, China’s central bank instructed major lenders to increase the proportion of yuan used in cross-border trade, part of its ongoing efforts to promote the currency amid the global impact of US tariffs.
