Global Markets:
Asia-Pacific markets opened lower Monday, as escalating tensions in the Middle East weighed on investor sentiment. The decline came after Israel launched retaliatory strikes on targets in western and central Iran, raising fears of a broader regional conflict and prompting a risk-off mood across global markets.
On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite fell 4.18% to 25,709.43 its biggest drop since April 2025. The S&P 500 sank 2.64% to close at 7,383.74, and the Dow lost 695 points to end the week at 50,866.78, a day after hitting a new high.
The decline on Friday came after a stronger-than-anticipated U.S. jobs report for May pushed Treasury yields higher, fueling concerns that elevated borrowing costs could pressure companies making substantial investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
In the coming week, market participants will closely track inflation data and the highly anticipated public debut of Elon Musks SpaceX on Friday.
Domestic Market:
The headline equity benchmarks closed lower on Friday as investor sentiment soured after the Reserve Bank of India kept key interest rates unchanged. The central bank also trimmed its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 6.6% from around 6.9% and raised its inflation projection to about 5.1%, reinforcing concerns over the economic outlook.
The S&P BSE Sensex declined 116.67 points or 0.16% to 74,243.34. The Nifty 50 index slipped 49.85 points or 0.21% to 23,366.70.
