Global markets presented a mixed picture, with Asian equities rallying strongly and Gift Nifty indicating a positive start despite softer US and European futures. FIIs remained robust buyers, infusing ₹4,859 crore into Indian equities. Commodity markets surged, led by gains in gold, silver, copper, and natural gas. Corporate sentiment remained constructive, supported by large order wins across defence, infrastructure, energy, and transportation sectors, alongside Reliance's ambitious growth roadmap and Jio Platforms’ IPO filing. However, regulatory penalties, operational disruptions, and management exits in select companies tempered overall optimism, while RBI and SEBI continued advancing key policy and market reforms.
