Global stocks lost steam on Wednesday after a four-day rally, while the U.S. dollar strengthened as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cooled expectations of another rate cut in December.
The Fed announced its second consecutive rate cut, bringing the benchmark down to 3.75–4%, the lowest in three years. However, Powell offered no clear signal on further easing.
Among tech majors, Meta slumped 7.7%, Alphabet advanced 6%, Microsoft dipped post-earnings, while Samsung rose on stronger-than-expected results.
The Dow Jones slipped 74.37 points (0.16%) to 47,632, the S&P 500 remained nearly flat at 6,890.59, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 130.98 points (0.55%) to close at 23,958.47.
Markets now await key policy announcements from the Bank of Japan and European Central Bank later this week.

Currency: The Dollar Index climbed 0.54% to 99.21 after Powell’s remarks.
Commodities: Spot gold gained 0.5% to $3,949.47/oz, though haven demand remains muted amid positive U.S.–China trade talks.
U.S. crude rose 0.55% to $60.48, while Brent added 0.81% to $64.92, supported by falling inventories and trade optimism.
Asian equities were mixed after Powell’s comments signaled uncertainty over future rate cuts.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.3% to a new record high above 51,400, driven by tech and AI-related optimism. In contrast, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.2%.
Gift Nifty indicates a negative start for Indian equities today, with Nifty expected to trade between 25,850–26,200.
Indian benchmarks closed on a positive note on October 29, tracking upbeat global cues and optimism around India–U.S. trade talks.
Sensex: +368.97 pts (0.44%) at 84,997.13
Nifty 50: +117.70 pts (0.45%) at 26,053.90
Oil & Gas, Metals, and Media led the rally with gains between 1–2%, while Auto saw mild profit booking. The broader market remained upbeat — Midcap +0.64%, Smallcap +0.43% — signaling sustained buying interest beyond frontline stocks.
Nifty formed a bullish candlestick ahead of key global events, closing above the past three days’ highs — a sign of continued strength.
The index has been consolidating between 26,100–25,700, and this sideways phase is expected to persist.
Upside breakout: Above 26,100 could open doors to 26,277 and 26,500.
Support: Strong at 25,700–25,500, marking the previous breakout zone.
Overall trend remains positive, and this consolidation presents a good opportunity for gradual accumulation of quality stocks.
