-Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of September 13

-This morning, GIFTNifty was higher, trading at a premium of more than 60 pts from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the green for the Indian market.

-On Thursday, the Nifty, which struggled to cross 25,000 for the better part of the day, crossed 25,200, 25,300 and even made a new record high of 25,433, all within a span of 90 minutes. The weekly options expiry of the Nifty 50 contracts triggered a sharp short covering move, led by banking stocks. Another trigger may have been the nearly ₹3 lakh crore that were blocked for the Bajaj Housing Finance IPO. Freeing up of that capital could have also led to this upmove.

-Adani Group will be in focus today as the group as unequivocally rejected and denied baseless allegations presented by Swiss publication GothamCity. They said the Adani Group has no involvement in any Swiss court proceedings, and none of their company accounts have been subject to sequestration by any authority.

-In Asia, stocks fluctuated this morning, with the yen’s rise to around 141 per dollar pressuring those in Japan, an export-oriented economy. Benchmarks rose in Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong and China, following a fourth day of gains on Wall Street.

-The range-bound trading in equities suggests caution ahead of next week’s Fed policy meeting, after data showed Thursday that US producer price index picked up slightly in August after the previous month’s numbers were revised lower. Meanwhile, categories that feed into the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge were muted.

-Oil prices rose on Friday, extending a rally sparked by output disruptions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where Hurricane Francine forced producers to evacuate platforms before it hit the coast of Louisiana. Brent crude futures rose by 34 cents, or 0.5%, to $72.31 per barrel this morning.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the top news from around the world ahead of the trading session of September 12

-Even as the Nifty witnessed selling pressure yesterday the moment it crossed 25,100 intraday, this morning the market is likely to start on a higher note following positive global cues. GIFT Nifty was higher this morning, trading at a premium of more than 100 pts from Nifty Futures Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market.

-Yesterday, the Nifty not only failed to defend the 25,000 mark, but at one point even broke below 24,900, before eventually closing above that mark after final adjustments. 24,800 on the downside and 25,100 on the upside has become the current range for the Nifty. Even Gautam Shah of Goldilocks Premium Advisory told CNBC-TV18 yesterday that 25,150 is now a very important near-term barrier for the Nifty, that it needs to cross for further upside.

-Selling pressure came from all corners, be it Metals, Autos, PSU banks and even the entire CPSE basket, which continues to move lower from its August 1 peak. Even the midcap index, which was an outperformer till the start of the second half of the day, ended in the red.

-Though the US markets closed higher overnight, US CPI for August came in at 2.5%, which was the lowest since February 2021, while core CPI can be hotter than expected. The major benchmarks rebounded from intraday lows as core CPI rose slightly more than expected and investors changed their bets for a quarter-percentage-point-cut by the Fed next week.

-This morning, stocks in Asia rose as a tech-fueled rally on Wall Street spread across the region, supported by expected Federal Reserve rate cuts next week. Equities in Japan and South Korea advanced, with the Topix up the most in almost a month. A region-wide gauge of tech stocks rose more than 1%. The gain for share benchmarks in Tokyo partly reflected the yen’s reversal from its strongest level against the dollar since December.

-Oil, meanwhile, held gains from Wednesday as Hurricane Francine ripped through key oil-producing zones in the US Gulf of Mexico, prompting traders to cover bearish bets. Spot gold was little changed.

-India is poised to release its August consumer price index late Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters expect it to rise 3.5% year-on-year, compared to 3.54% in July.

-The next two sessions are crucial for the index. While today, i.e Wednesday will be the weekly expiry of Nifty Bank, the Nifty's weekly contracts expire on Thursday. Broader markets also staged a rebound after Monday's underperformance.

-Now Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities says Nifty faces a crucial resistance at 25,200 levels. A decisive move above this can open further upside towards new all-time highs with immediate support at 24,900.

-Stocks to track: Reliance Industries, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Pidilite, Oil India, IREDA, Goa Carbon, Ramco Systems, Lemon Tree Hotels

-Asian stocks slipped Wednesday on growth concerns ahead of a US inflation report and as markets prepared for the knock-on effects of a presidential debate. Back in the US, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% with a Bloomberg gauge of the “Magnificent Seven” megacaps jumping 1.5%.

-Crude has tumbled by almost a fifth so far this quarter on concerns that slowing growth in the US and China, the leading consumers, will crimp demand at a time of robust and expanding supplies.

-Sparring on politics and personality, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showcased their starkly different visions for the country as they met for the first time for perhaps their only debate before November's presidential election, a high-pressure opportunity for the candidates after a tumultuous campaign summer.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of September 5

-Wednesday's session finally brought to an end the 14-day rally, as Dalal Street sold off in-line with the meltdown seen in global equity markets overnight.The Nifty recovered more than 100 points from the lows of the day as the index found support just below 25,100 and reversed from those levels.

-For the remaining week, of course, a lot will depend on how Wall Street moves overnight ahead of the all important jobs data on Friday. Thursday is also the weekly expiry for the Nifty, its first for the September series and that will also have a part to play in the index moves.

-This morning, the GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of more than 100 points from Nifty Futures' Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for Indian market.

-Stocks to watch: Reliance Industries, Sona BLW, GIC Re, Vedanta, Century Textiles, Suzlon, HDFC Bank, PNB Housing Finance

-Asian stocks regained some ground this morning after a global selloff as traders awaited this week’s US payrolls data to gauge the extent of the Federal Reserve’s easing. The dollar steadied. Overnight in the US, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite fell for a second straight session in a lackluster start to September.

-The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.5% after falling more than 2% on Wednesday, its biggest drop since the Aug. 5 rout. South Korea’s Kospi jumped more than 1%, led by a rebound in the shares of chipmakers. Japan’s benchmarks fluctuated following the yen’s strength.

-With the Fed set to begin cutting rates in a few weeks, the main question now is how big the first reduction will be. Monthly US employment data due Friday will help determine the answer. The jobs report last month stoked growth fears and Chair Jerome Powell has made it clear the Fed is now more concerned about risks to the labor market than inflation.

-In commodities, oil steadied near the lowest close since June 2023 as an industry report pointed to a big draw in US crude stockpiles. Meanwhile, gold traded at around $2,495 after finding support following the US job openings data.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments to track ahead of the trading session of September 4

-The Nifty ended one point higher yesterday. A solitary point. That is after a 250-point rally on the Nifty Bank. On paper, it becomes the 14th straight day of gains for the index. But it pegs the question, has the Nifty finally reached breaking point on the upside, at least for the time being?

-Morgan Stanley says two fundamental and two technical factors that can trigger a correction in the market. However, it reiterated that a correction does not mean the end of a bull market. The brokerage believes that India's current bull market is only past the halfway mark.

-The Nifty Bank will also be in focus on Wednesday as it will be its weekly expiry.

-Stocks to track: Defence stocks, GIC Re, AU Small Finance Bank, Infosys, Nazara Tech, Delta Corp

-In terms of global cues, stocks in Asia sank after a plunge in Nvidia Corp. shares fueled the worst day for US equities since the Aug. 5 rout.

-Oil extended losses from Tuesday’s decline of almost 5% as the possible easing of political unrest in Libya triggered worries about weak demand and oversupply.

-The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 saw their worst starts to a September since 2015 and 2002, respectively. With inflation expectations anchored, attention has shifted to the health of the economy as signs of weakness could speed up policy easing. While rate cuts tend to bode well for equities, that’s not usually the case when the Fed is rushing to prevent a recession.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 30

-The last time the Nifty gained 11 days in a row was nearly two decades ago, way back in September 2007. The 11th day of gains during its monthly expiry session was courtesy Reliance Industries as one-third of the Nifty's gains on Thursday came from RIL. An otherwise sluggish session on the Nifty was brought to life when Reliance Industries announced that it will consider a 1:1 bonus issue at its board meet on September 5. The resultant spike saw the Nifty make a new high of 25,192 before ending at a record closing high of 25,151.

-A big factor for Friday's trading session though, will be the MSCI adjustments, which will take place in the final few minutes of the trading session. This means that HDFC Bank, which has been an underperformer, will see the first tranche of its weightage increase in the MSCI indices. Analysts are expecting the lender to receive flows ranging between $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion.

-Both foreign and domestic investors were net buyers in the cash market on Thursday but the numbers will also be skewed due to the block deals seen in stocks like InterGlobe Aviation, PB Fintech and Welspun Living.

-Stocks to watch: Infosys, Tata Motors, sugar stocks, RVNL, ITI, NBCC, SpiceJet, CDSL, LIC, Lemon Tree

-Asian stocks advanced as upbeat US growth data suggested the Federal Reserve is engineering a so-called soft landing for the economy. Equities in Australia and South Korea rose while those in Japan inched up. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index headed for a fourth month of gains as traders awaited a key US inflation report due Friday.

-A rally Friday will cap the best month for US and global stocks since June amid bets the Fed will ease policy as it tames inflation without the economy tumbling into recession. US output grew at a slightly stronger pace in the second quarter than initially reported, reflecting an upward revision to consumer spending that more than offset weaker activity in other categories.

-In commodities, oil was steady after jumping Thursday on positive US economic data and worsening supply disruptions in Libya. Meanwhile, gold slipped.

-GIFT Nifty was trading higher this morning at a premium of nearly 20 pts from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the green for the Indian market.

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 29

-After days of consolidating and resisting, the Nifty conquered its previous record high of 25,078 on August 28, a day ahead of its August F&O expiry and made a new high of 25,129. As has been the case with previous highs, there was some bit of profit booking at higher levels and that resulted in the Nifty seeing a 90-point drop from the highs of the day, ending even below its previous record high of 25,078.

-This surge came despite the underperformance from banking stocks as the day belonged to IT stocks. Barring Tata Elxsi, which sold-off after a stellar two-day move, most largecap or midcap IT names saw healthy gains in Wednesday's trading session.

-But the big question for Thursday's trading session is that will Reliance Industries, the index heavyweight, put its hand up and lead the Nifty to an 11th straight day of gains on its monthly expiry session?

-Stocks to watch: Reliance Industries, InterGlobe Aviation, Vedanta, Sonata Software, PB Fintech, Lemon Tree Hotels, KEC International

-The GIFT Nifty was lower this morning, trading at a discount of more than 40 pts from Nifty Futures Wednesday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market

-Stocks in Asia slipped as Nvidia Corp earnings lacked the wow factor to impress investors, while Chinese results helped extend a selloff in the country’s tech companies. A gauge of Chinese tech stocks fell more than 2% in Hong Kong. Nvidia slumped more than 8% in post-market trading following a sales forecast that disappointed some on Wall Street.   

-Later Thursday, investors will shift focus to key US data including a growth reading, personal consumption and weekly jobless claims to help firm bets the Federal Reserve will quickly ease policy this year. Fed Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic said it “may be time to cut” but he’s still looking for additional data to support lowering interest rates next month.

-In commodities, oil steadied after a two-day drop, with stock market losses offsetting a drawdown in US stockpiles and supply disruptions in Libya. Gold traded just below its record high, on course for a monthly gain.

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 27

-Jerome Powell's speech triggered a strong rally on Wall Street and that rubbed off on Dalal Street to a certain extent as well on Monday. The Nifty was back above the mark of 25,000, a level last seen at the start of this month. It turned out to be a day when the benchmark indices outperformed the broader markets.

-Even as the Nifty gained nearly 200 points on Monday, there appeared to be some hesitation among the bulls to scale the record high of 25,078 and take the index beyond that.  The Nifty made a high of 25,043 on Monday and closed just above the mark of 25,000, falling just 0.3 points short of registering a record closing high.

-Almost all interest-rate sensitives put in a strong show on Monday, starting with IT, which rallied post the surge seen on the Nasdaq, while Real Estate and Metal stocks too saw a good day at the office.

-For today, the GIFTNifty was lower this morning, trading at a discount of nearly 30 pts from Nifty Futures Monday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market.

-Stocks to watch: IT stocks, GPT Infraprojects, KPI Green Energy, UltraTech Cement, Paytm,

-In terms of global cues, Asian shares moved in narrow ranges after tech giants dragged down Wall Street, as focus shifted from the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook to Nvidia Corp.’s earnings later this week. Japanese and South Korean stocks turned slightly higher after earlier losses, with mild gains in Australia.Hong Kong futures pointed to a weak opening, while contracts for US peers were steady after some of the world’s largest tech names pushed US stocks lower.

-A gauge of the “Magnificent Seven” megacaps slid 1.2% on Monday. While more than half of the shares in the S&P 500 gained, the US equity benchmark edged lower — a consequence of weakness in the tech giants that dominate it.

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the latest developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 26

-The key crucial remark from the weekend is from US Fed Chair Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech. He said that the time has come for policy to adjust. The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, evolving outlook and the balance of risks. This is exactly what the street wished to hear.

-While the reaction in the Indian markets will be seen on Monday, Powell's speech was definitely cheered by Wall Street. The Dow Jones rallied over 450 points, as did the S&P 500. The Nasdaq composite surged over 1.5%. All three benchmark indices ended the week with gains.

-Back home, this week will see the expiry of the August F&O series for the Nifty and Nifty Bank. The Nifty has been volatile this series but as of closing on Friday, the index is absolutely flat, just 10 points adrift of the July expiry close of 24,834. For the week gone by, both Nifty and the Nifty Bank ended with gains of a percent each.

-The latest round of the Nifty 50 rejig was also announced on Friday. Trent, the Tata Group multibagger, which is up 20 times from its Covid-19 lows, will be the latest entrant to the index, along with state-run Bharat Electronics. Both these names will replace Divi's Laboratories and LTIMindtree, which will be moved back to the Nifty Next 50 or the Nifty Junior index.

-In addition to the Nifty Rejig, announcements were also made for the latest addition to the FTSE All World Index. They include names like Bank of Maharashtra, Bharat Dynamics, Central Bank of India, Cochin Shipyard, Endurance Tech, Escorts Kubota, GE T&D India, Hitachi Energy India, HUDCO, IRB Infra, KEI Industries, Lloyds Metals, Motilal Oswal. Changes to be effective from September 23, 2024.

-Stocks to watch: Ambuja Cements, Transport Corporation of India, Alembic pharma, Prime Fresh, Karur Vysya Bank, Lemon Tree, FDC, Religare Enterprises, JSW Energy, and Zydus Life.

-On the global front, Asian stocks advanced this morning and the yen strengthened to a three-week high as investors took positions in anticipation of the Federal Reserve cutting US interest rates from next month. Shares in Australia and Hong Kong climbed on Monday, benefitting from Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, when he said the “time has come” to pivot to monetary easing.

-GIFTYNifty was higher this morning trading at a premium of nearly 60 pts from Nifty Futures Friday close, indicating a start in the green for the Indian market

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 14

-On Tuesday, the street wanted the weightage of HDFC Bank to be increased in one go, but MSCI decided to increase it in two tranches. The first one now, and the second in November, subject to compliance with the foreign headroom limit. That did not please the market participants. HDFC Bank's shares were already down 11% from the July 3 peak and Tuesday saw another 3% drop. 50% of the Nifty's fall on Tuesday came from India's largest private lender. The Nifty yet again faced pressure above 24,350 and swiftly reversed from those levels, once HDFC Bank continued to decline.

-Besides HDFC Bank, SBI, ITC and Bajaj Finance also contributed to the Nifty fall on Tuesday, albeit in a lesser quantum compared to the index heavyweight.

-Wednesday will now be the weekly expiry for both Nifty and the Nifty Bank as Thursday will be a market holiday on account of Independence Day and the Parsi New Year. For the weekly expiry session, 24,100 becomes the key level on the downside for the Nifty. The fact that the Nifty has closed near the lowest point of the day will not please the bulls.

-Wednesday's trading session will see the final bits of earnings reactions from stocks like Hero MotoCorp, Apollo Hospitals, Manappuram Finance, Muthoot Finance, SJVN, MTAR Technologies among others.

-This morning, the GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of 75 points from Nifty Futures' Tuesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market.

-In terms of global cues, stocks in Asia followed a rally on Wall Street as bets mounted that the upcoming US consumer price report will give the Federal Reserve confidence to start cutting rates in September.

-The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed for a fourth session, extending its recovery from a historic Aug. 5 selloff. Equity benchmarks were mostly higher, with those in Japan and Taiwan jumping more than 1%. The gains came after the US producer price index rose less than forecast, helping to fuel a 1.7% rally in the S&P 500.

-Overnight, the S&P 500 saw its biggest four-day rally this year. The Nasdaq 100 climbed 2.5%. Starbucks Corp. surged 25% after ousting its chief and picking Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.’s Brian Niccol as its next leader.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 13

-On Monday, while the dip got bought into, similar to what the trend has been over the last few sessions, the Nifty could not sustain at higher levels as the recovery got sold into. The market remained fairly resilient to any potential concerns arising from the latest report from US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research.

-Tuesday's session will see a lot of stock specific moves, particularly HDFC Bank, that may determine the trajectory of the Nifty during the session. India's largest lender will see an increase in weightage in the MSCI Global Standard Index but in two tranches. Nuvama Alternative is anticipating inflows worth $1.8 billion in the first adjustment that will take place on August 30.

-Tuesday's session will see more PSU earnings reactions like Hindustan Copper, RCF, IRFC, HUDCO, along with other names like Vodafone Idea, Camlin Fine Sciences, Ami Organics, Campus Activewear, DOMS Industries, ITI etc.

-Three Nifty stocks - Hero MotoCorp, Apollo Hospitals and Hindalco report results on Tuesday, along with broader market names like Emcure Pharma, Dish TV, Dilip Buildcon, IRCTC, Muthoot Finance, Piramal Enterprises, HEG, among others.

-Other than that, shares of state-run Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. will be included in the MSCI India Index, which is part of the MSCI Global Standard Index as part of its latest reshuffle. Six other stocks besides RVNL, namely Vodafone Idea, Dixon Technologies, Oil India, Prestige Estates, Oracle Financial and Zydus Lifesciences have also found a place in the MSCI India Index as part of the latest rejig. Bandhan Bank is the only Indian stock that will be excluded from the index.

-Asian stocks rose this morning, fully recovering their losses from last week’s rout, bolstered by an advance in Japanese shares. Japan’s equities rose after a holiday, as a weaker yen supported exporters. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific gauge rose as much as 1% to erase losses from last week’s tumble. The S&P 500 closed little changed ahead of US inflation data later Tuesday and Wednesday. Treasuries held Monday’s gains.

-Oil remained near the $80 level it hit on Monday, as the US sees an Iranian attack against Israel as increasingly likely. Israel’s sovereign debt was cut by one notch by Fitch Ratings, which kept a negative outlook on the credit as continued military conflict weighs on the country’s public finances.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 12

-A new report released over the weekend by Hindenburg Research will be in focus today. The US-based short-seller has alleged that market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) reluctance to act against the Adani Group might be linked to its chief Madhabi Puri Buch, having stakes in offshore funds associated with the conglomerate. In response, Buch has labelled the claims as "baseless" and characterised them as an attempt at "character assassination."

-This yet again puts the Adani Group companies in the spotlight for Monday's trading session. Shares of most group companies have already recovered all the losses they made after the first Hindenburg report in January 2023. The Adani Group has also responded by saying that their overseas holding structure is fully transparent and that the Group has no commercial relationship with individuals or matters mentioned in the report.

-The Nifty 50 heads into a truncated week after what has been an extremely volatile week gone by. With the turn of events over the weekend, the upcoming holiday-shortened week also promises to be nothing less. It was a relatively steady end to the week last Friday with the Nifty closing above the 24,350 mark. Although it could not prevent a second-straight weekly loss, it managed to claw back most of that on Friday with a 250-point surge.

-Barring the Adani Group companies, REITs will also be in focus as Hindenburg's new report also claims that SEBI's regulations on REITs benefitted Blackstone, which is the sponsor of three out of the four Indian listed REITS. Blackstone is also where the SEBI Chairperson's husband Dhaval Buch was a senior advisor. The report alleged the SEBI chief promoted REITs as an investment product to benefit Blackstone.

-PSU stocks will be in focus as well. Bharat Dynamics joined the list of PSU earnings disappointing the street after RVNL, IRCON and even BHEL. Cochin Shipyard has turned out to be the only outlier so far.

-The handover from Wall Street has been largely positive with the benchmark indices ending Friday's session with moderate gains. This morning, shares in Asia opened higher as markets shifted focus to key US data prints this week for further insight into the health of the world’s biggest economy.

-However, it is likely that the focus on Monday for the Indian markets will be the Hindenburg report which may cloud an on-the-mend sentiment for equities instead of global cues, which have been the focal point all through last week.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top developments ahead of the trading session of August 2

-After three days of teasing the landmark, the Nifty finally scaled the mark of 25,000, thereby starting off August on a positive note. What generally follows an event like this is a sell-off from higher levels. Yesterday, there was some bit of resistance for the Nifty as well around the 25,100 mark owing to which it reversed from its latest record high of 25,078, but the fact that the index managed to hold on to 25,000 at close, will give the bulls a lot of comfort.

-Stocks to watch: Tata Motors, Zomato and ITC, Godrej Agrovet, Kalyan Jewellers, Vaibhav Global, Infosys

-Earnings: Dalmia Bharat, Delhivery, CAMS, Hindustan Zinc, UPL, PSP Projects, Titan, LIC Housing Finance

-Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities says even as the Nifty has crossed 25,000, the crucial hurdle between 25,000 - 25,100 remains intact. He anticipates further consolidation or a minor near-term dip.

-In the US overnight, stocks sold off with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling nearly 500 points, as investors’ fears over a recession surfaced. The Dow dropped 1.2%. The S&P 500 shed 1.3% while the Nasdaq Composite
 slipped more than 2%.

-Some fresh data stoked fears over a possible recession and the notion that the Federal Reserve could be too late to start cutting interest rates. Initial jobless claims rose the most since August 2023.

-This morning, Asian markets also fell after the Wall Street sell-off, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 leading losses. Japan’s benchmark indexes nosedived as much as 5% on Friday, with most Asia-Pacific markets lower after a sell-off on Wall Street overnight over recession worries.

-Intel shares slid as much as 20% in extended trading overnight after the chipmaker said it would lay off over 15% of its employees as part of a $10 billion cost-reduction plan and reported lighter results than analysts had envisioned.

-In commodities, oil headed for a fourth weekly drop as demand concerns in the world’s two biggest economies overshadowed heightened geopolitical risk. Brent crude traded near $80 a barrel after dropping by 1.6%.

-Ola Electric’s over Rs 6000 cr IPO opens for subscription today. Its anchor book saw participation from marquee investors.

-Gift Nifty was trading 0.18% lower than the Nifty futures’ Thursday close, implying a lower start for the Indian market.

-Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 1 

-It’s yet another day of waiting for the Nifty to cross 25,000. Nifty and 25,000 are now separated by 49 points. It still seems a long way away considering the index came within 0.2 points of that on Monday, 30 points on Tuesday and 16 points on Wednesday but could not cross that landmark. 24,984 was the high made by the Nifty on Wednesday and that now becomes the first hurdle to cross on Thursday for the Nifty.

-Global cues are important today as the US Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged but Chair Jerome Powell said that a rate cut in September is "on the table" provided that data continues to be as encouraging as it currently is. 

-Wall Street cheered the Fed commentary with the S&P 500 marking its best day since February this year, while the Nasdaq ended with gains of over 2%.

-This morning in Asia, equities and US futures were broadly higher on firming signs that the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates. Japanese stocks fell to reflect a stronger yen. Equities in Australia and South Korea rose alongside Hong Kong share futures. Contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 both climbed to compound Wednesday’s advances ignited by a tech rally. 

-In terms of commodities, oil prices rose in early Asian trading, extending strong gains in the previous session after the killing of a Hamas leader in Iran raised the threat of a wider Middle East conflict and on signs of strong oil demand in the U.S. Global benchmark Brent crude futures rose 0.8%, to $81.51 per barrel this morning.
