Good morning!

The GIFT Nifty is trading at a 0.28% advance at 26,392.50 as of 6:45 a.m., indicating a muted open for the benchmark Nifty 50.

• S&P 500 futures trade 0.036% lower.

• Euro Stoxx 50 futures trade 0.07% lower.

The benchmark 50 Nifty ended the session at 26,250.30, down 0.3%, after registering a fresh peak of 26,373.20 during the day, before witnessing a mild cooling toward the close. On Friday, the blue-chip index closed at an all-time high.

Optimism over healthy third quarter business updates from financials and other companies was tempered by caution surrounding the implications of US military action in Venezuela. In the broader market, Nifty Midcap100 ended 0.2% lower while Nifty Smallcap100 outperformed, gaining 0.5%.

US stocks closed higher on Monday as investors piled into technology shares, even as the capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro heightened geopolitical concerns. Oil prices climbed alongside gold.

The Nasdaq 100 Index advanced 0.8%, led by tech giants such as Amazon.com Inc. and Tesla Inc. The S&P 500 Index also gained 0.6%, supported by rallies in energy and financial stocks, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new record high.

Asian equities opened higher on Tuesday, continuing a record-setting streak for global markets as investors brushed aside geopolitical concerns. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose for a fourth consecutive day, driven by a 1% gain in Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index.

Meanwhile, shares slipped slightly in South Korea and Australia. Futures indicated potential gains for Chinese stocks following a Wall Street rally, where megacap companies like Amazon.com Inc. and Tesla Inc. were among the top performers.

Gold and silver pulled back after earlier gains triggered by the U.S. capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro. Gold held steady as traders shifted focus from Venezuelan tensions to a packed schedule of U.S. economic data. Bullion hovered near $4,440 an ounce, after climbing 2.7% in the previous session following Maduro’s capture.
