U.S. equities fell sharply on Thursday as persistent rotation out of big tech and fading expectations of a December rate cut weighed on investor sentiment—even as the longest U.S. government shutdown finally came to an end.
The S&P 500 declined 1.6%, the Dow Jones slipped 797 points (1.7%), and the NASDAQ Composite tumbled 2.3%, underperforming its peers.
Market expectations for a December rate cut dropped below 50% after several Federal Reserve officials signaled caution on further easing. The lack of incoming economic data during the shutdown added uncertainty, prompting investors to reassess the Fed’s path.
After weeks of political gridlock, President Donald Trump signed the bill that restores government funding, enabling the release of critical economic data that markets rely on to assess the health of the U.S. economy.
U.S. Treasury Yields: The 10-year yield rose 4 bps to 4.119%, reacting to relief over the end of the shutdown.
Gold: Spot gold dropped 1.1% to $4,151.86/oz.
Dollar Index: The DXY eased 0.35% to 99.14.
Crude Oil: Brent crude gained 55 cents to trade at $63.24/bbl, recovering slightly after a steep decline in the previous session.
Asia-Pacific indices mirrored Wall Street’s weakness in Friday’s session as tech stocks remained under pressure and doubts grew around near-term Fed easing.
Nikkei 225: –1.85%
Topix: –1.03%
Kospi: –2.29%
Kosdaq: –1.42%
Gift Nifty signals a negative start for Indian equities.
Volatility is expected to stay elevated due to:
Bihar election outcome
Weak global sentiment
The index is likely to trade between 25,600–26,100.
Indian Market Recap (Previous Session)
Indian benchmark indices ended almost unchanged on November 13 after a choppy, sentiment-heavy session.
Sensex: +12 points (84,478.67)
Nifty: +3 points (25,879.15)
Investors stayed cautious ahead of the Bihar election results and the upcoming U.S. macro releases that could influence the Fed’s stance.
Broader markets underperformed, with midcap and small-cap indices slipping about 0.35%.
Decliners: IT, Media, PSU Banks (–0.5%)
Gainers: Metals, Pharma, Realty (+0.5%)
Nifty formed a high wave candle with a higher high and higher low—indicating consolidation with a positive undertone amid volatility.
Key observations:
Staying above the bullish gap zone (25,715–25,780) keeps the index biased upward.
Upside targets include 26,100, followed by the all-time high of 26,277.
After a 700-point rally in one week, some consolidation is possible.
Strategy:
Dips continue to be buying opportunities as long as Nifty holds above 25,300–25,400.
