Gift Nifty indicates negative to flat opening.
Nifty formed a bearish engulfing candle on the weekly chart as it ended Friday’s trading session on a negative note as the index plunged ahead of a key U.S. jobs report, which could influence the Federal Reserve’s decisions on the pace and magnitude of interest rate cuts.
US market:
U.S. stocks fell on Friday, weighed down by a jobs report that showed a continued labor market slowdown but left traders uncertain about how far the Federal Reserve will go in cutting interest rates.
The S&P 500 and the Dow had their biggest weekly drop since March 2023, with the Nasdaq registering its biggest weekly drop since January 2022.
In Europe, all major country indexes fell around 1%, with Germany’s DAX index dropping 1.6% to a two-week low after data showed the country’s industrial production fell by 2.4% in July, compared with analysts’ prediction of a 0.3% drop.
European shares fell for a fifth straight session on Friday on their worst day since early August, after a widely anticipated U.S. jobs report offered mixed signals on the size of a potential Federal Reserve rate cut.
