Global Markets Mixed as GIFT Nifty Signals Negative Opening; IPOs Launch
Global stock markets showed mixed trends as the GIFT Nifty indicated a likely negative opening for India's Nifty50 and Sensex amid softer US economic data. While US markets edged down slightly after weak retail spending reports, Asian markets, including South Korea and Hong Kong, advanced on reduced expectations of imminent US Federal Reserve rate hikes. Geopolitical tensions in West Asia influenced rising Brent crude prices. Several IPOs, including Horizon Industrial Parks and Lalithaa Jewellery Mart, opened for subscription, with new listings expected soon.
