Stock Market Live Updates: Will Dalal Street React Positively? Investors Closely Wait For Union Budget 2024 – News18

Stock Market Live: Indian benchmark equity indices closed slightly lower on Monday, weighed down by Reliance Industries and Wipro following their weaker-than-expected quarterly results. Market volatility increased with the budget announcement just a day away.

“Although the budget is anticipated to be favourable, investors will closely monitor whether it continues to tickle traction, given high valuations and the risk of a downgrade in earnings,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.

Global Cues

Global markets made solid gains after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

European stocks saw an uptick and markets in the US closed higher following Biden’s announcement.

The Dow ended Monday higher by 128 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 closed up 1.1% and the Nasdaq gained 1.6%.

European markets also closed higher, and Asian markets closed mostly lower. US Treasuries rose slightly, trimming yields, and the dollar was softer against major currencies.

Much of Monday’s gain came from a rebound in tech stocks. Nvidia gained 4.8% while chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices was up 2.8%.

Shares of CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm behind a crippling global tech outage on Friday, plunged 13.5%. The stock has lost 27% of its value since Thursday.
