In global market news today, investors and market enthusiasts are greeted with a complex yet optimistic financial landscape. The anticipation for the day's market opening is high, fueled by significant global and local cues. Here’s a detailed exploration of the essentials in the global share market news today -
The financial world looked eagerly towards Wall Street, which did not disappoint. The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw an impressive climb, closing at 39,781.37, up by 269.24 points or 0.68%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite followed suit, with gains of 16.91 points (0.32%) to close at 5,241.53, and 32.43 points (0.20%) to settle at 16,401.84, respectively. These gains underscore a buoyant mood in the U.S. markets, largely attributed to the Federal Reserve's reassurance about potential rate cuts within the year and Micron Technology's upbeat forecast boosting chip stocks.
In Asia, the markets responded with equal fervour, spurred by the Swiss National Bank's surprise 25 basis point rate cut. This move ignited a rally, with the Nikkei and Taiwan weighted index soaring to record highs. The Nikkei and Taiwan's index are on track for a weekly gain of nearly 6% and 3%, respectively, showcasing the strong bullish sentiment across Asian equities. However, the MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan saw a slight dip of 0.17% in early trade on Friday, after a nearly 2% jump in the previous session.
The oil market experienced a downturn in early Asian trading, with Brent crude futures dropping by 18 cents to $85.60 a barrel and U.S. crude futures declining by 19 cents to $80.88 per barrel. This movement is attributed to the potential easing of geopolitical tensions in Gaza and a stronger U.S. dollar, alongside faltering gasoline demand, painting a complex picture for oil prices.
The Bank of England held its ground, maintaining interest rates at a 16-year high of 5.25%, in line with expectations. The Monetary Policy Committee's decision (8-1 vote) to keep rates steady reflects a cautious approach to navigating the economic landscape, amidst ongoing uncertainties.
In next, US share market news, Accenture's share price tumbled by 9% following a cut in its revenue forecast for fiscal year 2024. The company now expects a revenue growth of 1% to 3%, down from the previous forecast of 2% to 5%. This revision signals potential headwinds in consulting and IT spending, hinting at a cautious business outlook in response to economic uncertainties.
Gold prices edged higher, marking a 0.1% increase to $2,183.93 per ounce, and setting the stage for a fourth weekly rise in five. The precious metal's performance, fueled by the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut projections, emphasises its status as a safe haven amid market volatility.
The market dynamics were further highlighted by the actions of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs). FIIs net sold shares worth ₹1,826.97 crore, while DIIs went on a buying spree, purchasing ₹3,208.87 crore worth of stocks. This divergence offers a glimpse into the varying investment strategies and outlooks within the Indian market.
As the market gears up for the trading day, these detailed insights offer a comprehensive view of the factors at play. Investors are navigating this global stock market news filled with opportunities, yet they must tread carefully, armed with data and a keen eye on both domestic and global cues. The day ahead promises to be another chapter in the ever-evolving narrative of the financial markets. Stay updated with Bajaj Broking to tap into all the daily global share market news.
