According to Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, domestic equities ended lower following a highly volatile session, weighed down by weak global cues ahead of the upcoming US inflation data. Sentiment gains from the US-India trade deal have faded as renewed AI-driven disruption fears weigh on risk appetite, with markets worrying that Indian IT firms dependent on the labour arbitrage model may face tougher competitive pressure than their Nasdaq peers.
Nair added that the cautious sentiment spread across the broader market, dragging major indices into negative territory, with most sectors closing in the red. Metal stocks saw profit-booking amid a stronger dollar index, as reports of Russia’s return to the US-dollar settlement system heightened expectations of potential sanctions relief and raised concerns over weaker realisations for metal companies.
In Asian markets, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng benchmark, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, and South Korea’s Kospi ended in the negative territory. European markets were trading on a mixed note in mid-session deals, while US equities had ended up to 2 per cent lower on Thursday.
