Important Economic Indicators to Track
- India’s 10-year Bond Yield: Increased slightly by 0.20% to 6.496% from 6.483. A rising yield can indicate inflation concerns or expectations of higher interest rates.
- Rupee vs. Dollar: The Indian Rupee weakened against the US Dollar, trading at 88.4400 compared to its previous close of 88.1150. A weaker rupee makes imports more expensive but can boost exports.
- Gold Futures: MCX Gold for October 2025 settlement shed 0.08% to Rs 108,893. This slight dip suggests investors might be shifting away from safe-haven assets.
- US Dollar Index (DXY): Rose 0.06% to 97.91, showing the dollar strengthened against other major currencies.
- US 10-year Bond Yield: Jumped 0.57% to 4.051%. This significant rise often signals stronger economic growth expectations or inflation worries in the US.
- Brent Crude: November 2025 settlement fell 0.62% to $67.07 a barrel. Lower crude prices are generally positive for India, as it’s a major oil importer.
Stocks in the Spotlight
- Trishakti Industries: Added 2.23% after securing a work order from Tata Steel. This positive development indicates new business for the company, for deployment of advanced machineries and skilled manpower.
- Goldiam International: Gained 1.64% after receiving significant purchase orders worth Rs 100 crore from US clients for lab-grown diamond jewelry. This highlights growing demand for sustainable luxury goods and boosts the company’s revenue outlook.
What Happens Next?
The market will closely monitor the outcome of the India-US trade talks and the US Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates next week. These global cues, alongside domestic earnings reports, will likely dictate the direction of the
Indian Market Trade in the coming sessions.
The sustained pharma rally suggests sector-specific strength that investors will continue to watch for potential growth opportunities.
