Global markets traded cautiously with weakness across most Asian and European indices, while Gift Nifty signalled a positive start for Indian equities. Domestic sentiment remained supported by strong DII buying despite continued FII selling. Commodity markets were mixed, with crude oil advancing while metals declined. Corporate developments remained largely positive, led by major order wins, expansion plans and strategic partnerships, though Tata Electronics' cybersecurity breach and a few senior management exits weighed on sentiment. RBI maintained a constructive economic outlook, even as core sector growth moderated and policymakers highlighted monsoon-related risks.
