Good morning!

Markets On Home Turf

The NSE Nifty 50 Index closed 0.42% lower for the day at 25,585.50, below the 25,600 levels. Benchmarks outperformed Nifty Small Cap 250. Wipro and Reliance Industries are the top losers in Nifty. Wipro fell over 8% intraday after its weak Q4 guidance. Nifty Midcap 150 fell over 0.5% for the day; dragged by IDBI Bank and MRPL. Nifty Smallcap250 fell over 1% for the day. Most sectoral indices close on a mixed note.

US Market Wrap

Global markets retreated while gold surged to a fresh record as trade tensions between the US and Europe intensified, sparked by President Donald Trump's renewed push to take control of Greenland.

US equity futures slid sharply, with S&P 500 futures down nearly 0.9% and Nasdaq 100 futures off 1.1%. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 was on track for its worst session in two months, led lower by losses in luxury and automobile stocks. Gold climbed to a record above $4,670 an ounce, while the dollar weakened about 0.3% as the Swiss franc outperformed. US cash markets were closed for a public holiday, reports Bloomberg.

Asian Market Update

Asian stocks slid around 0.5%, while S&P 500 futures dropped 1.1%. In Europe, equities posted their sharpest decline since November in the previous session.

Commodity Check

Silver surged to a record while gold hovered near an all-time high as President Donald Trump's push to take control of Greenland stoked fears of a US-Europe trade war and rattled markets.

Both metals eased slightly after sharp gains in the previous session, which followed Trump's threat to impose tariffs on eight European countries opposing his Greenland plans. Silver briefly climbed to a record $94.7295 an ounce on Tuesday, while gold traded close to $4,670.
