17/06/26, Global Cues


The benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, are poised for a positive start on June 17, supported by firm global cues and gains in the GIFT Nifty. The GIFT Nifty was trading around 24,070 in early trade, signaling a firm start for the domestic markets

Indian equity benchmarks ended higher for the third consecutive session on June 16, supported by easing geopolitical tensions following the US-Iran agreement and strong buying interest in IT, FMCG, realty and select heavyweight stocks.

At close, the Sensex was up 544.15 points or 0.71 percent at 76,808.48, and the Nifty was up 135.25 points or 0.57 percent at 23,989.15.

Here is how financial markets across the globe fared overnight:

GIFT Nifty (Up)

GIFT Nifty traded higher around 24,070 in early deals, indicating a positive start for the benchmark indices.

Asian Equities (Mixed)

Asian stocks slipped at the open, tracking declines on Wall Street as investors rotated out of technology shares and positioned for the first Federal Reserve policy decision under Chairman Kevin Warsh.

US equities (Mixed)

The Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 finished lower on Tuesday under pressure from ​technology stocks, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average marked its second straight record close and SpaceX rallied to become the fifth-most valuable U.S. company.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 328.64 points, or 0.64%, to 51,999.67, the S&P 500 lost 42.94 points, or 0.57%, to 7,511.35 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 307.60 points, or 1.15%, to 26,376.34.

Dollar Index (Down)

The dollar eased on Wednesday ahead of the Federal Reserve's first policy decision under Chair Kevin Warsh, with lingering optimism over an interim U.S.-Iran peace deal underpinning risk appetite and dampening demand for the U.S. currency.

US Bond Yield (Flat)

The yield on 10-year Treasuries and 2-year Treasuries were little changed at 4.43% and 4.04%, respectively, in the early trade on Wednesday

Asian Currencies (Mixed)

Asian currencies traded on a mixed note on Wednesday, with the Philippine peso emerging as the top gainer, while the South Korean won led losses against the US dollar.

The Philippine peso rose 0.257 percent, outperforming its regional peers, followed by gains in the Japanese yen (0.037 percent), Chinese renminbi (0.015 percent) and Singapore dollar (0.008 percent).

On the other hand, the South Korean won declined 0.313 percent, making it the worst-performing Asian currency in the basket. The Indonesian rupiah fell 0.090 percent, while the Taiwan dollar slipped 0.054 percent. The Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit were largely flat, shedding 0.012 percent each.

Crude (Rises)

Oil prices edged higher in early trade on Wednesday, clawing back some of the previous session's losses, as investors assessed whether the Iran war will truly end and the Strait of Hormuz reopen.

Gold (Gains)

Gold held gains, as the US and Iran prepared to sign an interim peace deal that may ease global inflationary pressures arising from the war.

Fund Flow Action

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 749.18 crore during the session. The latest outflow has taken cumulative FII selling to Rs 2.96 lakh crore in the month-to-date period, while net outflows for the year so far stand at Rs 3.23 lakh crore, highlighting persistent caution among overseas investors.

Meanwhile, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were marginal net buyers, purchasing equities worth Rs 0.06 crore on June 16. Despite the muted activity during the session, DIIs have remained a strong counterbalance to foreign selling, with month-to-date inflows of Rs 3.38 lakh crore and year-to-date purchases of Rs 4.10 lakh crore.

Hope you're all set for today's trade. We wish you a profitable day ahead.
