Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Going Into Trade On Jan 30

Good morning!

The GIFT Nifty is trading marginally lower at 25,453.00, indicating a flat to negative open for the benchmark index. US and European index futures are also trading lower during Asian trading hours.

• S&P 500 futures are down 0.13%
• Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.55%.

US Market Wrap

US equity futures slipped at the open after Apple Inc. warned that rising component costs may pressure its profit margins, adding to broader concerns about whether major tech firms' substantial spending on artificial intelligence will yield adequate returns. Gold bounced back in early Friday trading, with silver also moving higher. Contracts tracking the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dipped 0.2% early Friday. Technology stocks were in focus after Apple reported that higher input costs could erode margins, despite the company posting earnings that exceeded expectations, reports Bloomberg.

Asia Market Wrap

Asian equities were poised for a mixed opening after a volatile session in the US, where uncertainty over whether massive investments in artificial intelligence will deliver meaningful returns weighed on sentiment. Futures in Australia advanced, supported by gains in key metals such as iron ore and copper. Japanese equity contracts were little changed, while those tied to Hong Kong slipped in early Friday trading.

Commodity Check

Gold regained upward momentum after recording its first decline in nearly two weeks, with ongoing geopolitical tensions and a shift away from government bonds and major currencies fueling its record-setting surge. The metal climbed as much as 1.4% in early Friday trading, following a turbulent previous session in which it plunged 5.7% from an all‑time high of $5,595.47 before closing only slightly lower.

Oil held its ground after jumping more than 3% on Thursday, as traders assessed US President Donald Trump's warnings toward Iran and the potential consequences for Middle East supply routes. West Texas Intermediate hovered near $66 a barrel following a three‑day advance — supported in part by a softer dollar — while Brent closed above $70 for the first time since July.
