Global equities saw mixed movements overnight. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq continued their upward momentum, notching fresh record highs, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed due to steep losses in IBM, UnitedHealth, and airline stocks.
Investor optimism was buoyed by strong U.S. macroeconomic data:
Weekly jobless claims unexpectedly fell to 217,000.
Composite PMI jumped to 54.6 in July, its highest level in 2025.
Treasury yields edged higher, and the U.S. Dollar Index hovered near 97.5. Meanwhile, commodities cooled off, with gold and silver prices retreating amid rising yields and risk-on sentiment.
In Asia-Pacific, markets traded mostly lower on Friday as caution lingered over trade developments and global economic signals:
Japan's Nikkei fell 0.55%
Topix declined 0.73%
Australia’s ASX 200 lost 0.51%
South Korea’s Kospi ended flat

Technical View – Nifty
On the daily chart, Nifty formed a bearish engulfing pattern, indicating distribution and profit booking at higher levels. The index faced rejection from the critical resistance zone of 25,250, a level that has now capped gains for over a week.
Over the past eight sessions, the index has moved within a tight 24,900–25,250 range, showing signs of consolidation and lack of clear direction. A break below 24,900 could accelerate the ongoing corrective phase, which has persisted for the last three weeks.
