Despite uncertainties around Trump\u2019s trade stance and global risks, India\u2019s growth-inflation dynamics remain favourable for FY26 with risk to marginal downgrade based on tariff updates. India looks forward to the Trump &#8211; Putin meet dated 15th August,&#8221; said Nair.<\/p>\n<p>Also read | <a data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#Markets#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/markets\/stocks\/news\/5-wall-street-moguls-who-dismissed-bitcoin-as-a-fad-guess-what-theyre-saying-now\/articleshow\/118750204.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">5 Wall Street moguls who dismissed Bitcoin as a fad \u2014 Guess what they\u2019re saying now!<\/a><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ET logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/118783427.cms.png\" width=\"90%\"\/>Live Events<br \/>US marketsThe benchmark S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq hit record highs on Wednesday, underpinned by gains in megacap companies as investors were increasingly confident that the Federal Reserve could restart its monetary policy easing cycle next month.Signs that U.S. tariffs on imports have not fully filtered into headline consumer pricescame as a relief for investors this week as they scour for insights on the impact trade uncertainty has had on the economy.Despite data showing underlying price pressures were on the rise, markets also factored in recent weakness in the job market and a shake-up at the Federal Reserve as they leaned in favor of a potential dovish move by the central bank in September.European MarketsEuropean markets rallied Wednesday as the Stoxx Europe 600 climbed 0.4%, hitting its highest level since late July, buoyed by expectations of a U.S. rate cut following soft inflation data. <\/p>\n<p>Technology and defence sectors led gains, with Germany\u2019s Rheinmetall rising nearly 3% and Renk jumping over 5% on strong earnings and higher defence spending.<\/p>\n<p>Tech ViewThe Nifty remained strong throughout the day after initial hours of uncertainty, closing at a multi-day high and signaling improved sentiment amid tariff-related concerns, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that the daily RSI has recently entered a positive crossover and continues to hold this momentum after several days of indecision. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith sentiment showing signs of improvement, the likelihood of the Nifty moving above the 24,700 resistance has increased. A decisive move above this level could trigger a rally towards 25,200 in the short term.
