Selling was heavy in private banks and IT stocks, while PSU banks saw modest strength. Analysts say the move reflects profit-booking after a recent rally and caution ahead of global monetary-policy developments.

Asian equity markets climbed as investor sentiment improved following indications of a U.S.–China trade truce and strong interest in artificial-intelligence investment. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index rose around 0.6%, propelled by gains in Japanese and Korean tech stocks. The U.S. dollar remained near a three-month high amid hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve officials. While the atmosphere is upbeat, analysts warn the strength may depend on confirmation of trade agreements and the pace of AI-deal flows in the region.

1h agoIndia resists full framework for stablecoins prioritising rupee dominance
India is unlikely to introduce a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins, aligning with its policy that prioritises the rupee. According to a Reuters-backed analysis, the government fears that regulated stablecoins could dilute currency sovereignty or become systemic. This stance follows earlier comments from the Reserve Bank of India regarding potential competition between private digital tokens and a central-bank digital currency. Markets are interpreting the stance as cautious for crypto-asset adoption but favourable for rupee and banking stability.

2h agoBrent crude hits above $65 as OPEC+ pauses output hikes
Brent crude-oil futures climbed to approximately $65.10 per barrel after the OPEC+ group signalled a pause in output increases, reinforcing a supply-tight narrative amid demand uncertainty. The U.S. dollar staying strong and the recent trade-deal optimism between the U.S. and China bolstered the energy complex. Market participants noted that the pause adds stability to prices, though global growth concerns remain a backdrop. Energy and commodity-linked stocks may benefit, while inflation and interest-rate watchers consider the move for policy implications.

2h agoTop stocks to buy on Nov 3 include Adani Power ITC among others
Brokerage Jefferies has flagged several stocks for purchase on 3 November, including Adani Power with a target price of ₹195. While Adani Power’s September-quarter EBITDA fell 4 % short of expectations due to muted utilisation, the firm secured new power-purchase agreements (PPAs) at nearly ₹6 per unit, suggesting improved profitability in FY28–FY30. Other companies in the list include ITC, hinting at sector rotation toward industrial and consumption-linked names. Investors will monitor quarterly earnings and order flows to validate the calls.

2h agoIndian equity benchmarks drift lower as profit-booking sets in
India’s main equity indices opened the week with a weak tone, as investors locked in gains following strong October performance. The Nifty 50 slipped below 25,700, and the BSE Sensex fell more than 200 points to 83,709.87. Selling pressures emerged in private banks and FMCG stocks, while PSU lenders showed some strength. Analysts say this pullback reflects consolidation rather than reversal, with focus now shifting to earnings and global cues for further direction.

2h agoOil prices rise after OPEC+ pauses output hike for Q1 2026
Crude oil prices edged higher following the announcement by OPEC+ that it will hold off increasing production in the first quarter of 2026, citing supply concerns and seasonal demand softness. Brent crude rose to around $65.01/barrel and U.S. WTI climbed to $61.19. The group approved a smaller increase for December and then a pause, signalling a shift in strategy amid glut worries and sanctions on Russian oil. Analysts say the move indicates price‐support intent, though slow global growth remains a headwind.

India’s major stock indices started November with stability, trading flat after a strong October rally. The Nifty 50 edged up 0.1% to 25,747.45 and the BSE Sensex rose 0.02% to 83,956.75. Broad-based gains were led by PSU banks (+1.5%) amid reports of increased foreign investment limits. Private banks and IT stocks dropped around 0.4%. Earnings surprises drove some stock-specific moves — one finance firm jumped over 5% after a strong result, while another slipped after a year-on-year profit drop. Analysts expect consolidation with global cues and earnings in focus.

Asian equity markets edged higher as investor sentiment improved following optimism around AI investment and a tentative U.S.–China trade truce. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index (ex-Japan) rose 0.35%, marking its strongest run this year. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar held near a three-month peak after hawkish signals from Federal Reserve officials, reducing near-term rate-cut expectations. However, China’s official manufacturing PMI fell below 50, signalling contraction, which may weigh on the region’s momentum in coming sessions. Commodities and FX markets remain sensitive to global liquidity shifts.

2h agoChina’s gold tax incentive rollback jolts bullion demand outlook as crude volatility persists globally
China’s decision to remove certain gold tax incentives has generated a sharp watch response across commodity desks as global traders recalibrate demand expectations heading into year-end. Market participants suggest this could soften China’s retail bullion pull, especially among low to mid-tier consumer buys, which have historically played a material marginal elasticity role in physical gold demand. This also coincides with Brent crude showing mixed price action with a recent recovery bounce following a three-month decline led by supply imbalance narratives and freight congestion distortions. With commodity correlation tightening again, cross-hedgers are preparing additional vol-shock defenses.

A recent AI scientific research conference showcased compelling demonstrations of AI models assisting scientists as co-researchers in literature synthesis, model-based hypothesis design and lab-scale simulation reasoning. However, several presentations also highlighted failures in interpretability, incorrect causal link inference and hallucinated academic references, especially at higher model parameter densities. Stanford researchers emphasized that while AI has accelerated knowledge scaffolding, the reliability gap, falsifiability inconsistency and epistemic stability remain critical blockers for replacing human scientific reasoning. Industry, academia, and policy groups appear aligned that future breakthroughs must focus on inter-model explainability standardization, robust peer review protocols and scientific evidence traceability.

Global equities are attempting to carry forward the post-October momentum, with S&P 500 futures marginally higher during Asian morning trade. Traders attribute continued resilience to carry positioning, mega-cap tech follow-through and selective factor rotation based on AI-led earning leverage. Macro participants expect a subdued U.S. data week, allowing more time for equity markets to digest the prior month’s repricing without heavy catalyst risk. Emerging market traders are watching U.S. futures closely for volatility bleed-through, especially in FX-sensitive models and cross-carry structures. If realized volatility compresses further, tactical long setups could find broader participation from systematic allocators.

Indian equities are strengthening again as market positioning improves due to rising optimism around a potential U.S.–India trade alignment that could widen export visibility and reduce tariff friction in multiple industrial segments. Sector strategists are observing renewed long build-up in capital goods, specialty chemicals, infra adjacencies and select financials. Meanwhile, domestic earnings into the November run are becoming the primary near-term driver, while foreign institutional inflows have accelerated sharply, improving liquidity depth. Analysts believe cross-border alignment could support both gross margin trajectories and strengthen future market share gains in consumer-linked and manufacturing value chains across the 2025–2027 horizon.

PhonePe’s payments footprint, UPI dominance, and cross-stack commerce expansion continue to offer a monetization roadmap that aligns with public market expectations.

The outlook reflects a rotation away from bond proxies. Investors are instructed to watch earnings surprises, especially in tech, and liquidity flows as the post-October momentum phase evolves into a new leg of the market cycle.

3h agoOPEC+ signals supply-cautious stance, plans modest December hike then Q1 pause
The OPEC+ group agreed to a modest crude output increase of 137,000 barrels per day in December but will pause any further hikes in the first quarter of 2026 amid looming oversupply concerns. The move reflects seasonality and uncertainty over Russian export capacity in light of new sanctions. Brent crude futures traded above $65/barrel as markets parsed the cautious outlook. Analysts view the pause as a pre-emptive intention to defend prices, offset weak early-year demand, and align with refining maintenance cycles and slow China imports.

3h agoU.S. and China agree one-year trade truce including tariff cuts and rare-earth export pause
The United States and China have reached a one-year trade truce aimed at de-escalating their economic confrontation. Washington will cut overall tariffs on Chinese goods to around 47% from 57% by halving fentanyl-related duties, while Beijing will pause new export restrictions on rare earth elements and magnets critical to advanced manufacturing. As part of the deal, China committed to resuming large U.S. soybean purchases and the U.S. will suspend certain impending technology export controls. Markets welcomed the respite, though analysts caution that structural tech competition and supply-chain risks remain unresolved.

Bitcoin is trading around the $110,000 mark as large institutional outflows and whale sell-offs add pressure to the market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded hundreds of millions of dollars in redemptions, while long-term holders moved 300,000+ BTC in the past month. The price is testing a major support zone and derivatives traders flag elevated liquidation risk ahead of options expiry. With broader macro uncertainty around U.S. rate policy, the crypto market appears in consolidation and may require fresh catalyst to resume a sustained leg higher.

3h agoBPCL pivots to Abu Dhabi’s Upper Zakum for December barrels amid Russia sanctions risk
Bharat Petroleum Corporation is sourcing 2 million barrels of Upper Zakum crude for December delivery via spot purchase, moving to diversify away from Russian flows exposed to fresh U.S. sanctions. The tender comes as Indian refiners reassess cargo pipelines and counterparty exposure, balancing discounts against compliance risk. BPCL typically secures a sizable portion of spot crude from Russia; guidance now points to maintaining only non-sanctioned Russian barrels while backfilling with Middle East grades. Traders noted concurrent OPEC+ signals on supply management and firmer prompt spreads, keeping India’s refining margins and product cracks in focus into year-end.

Manufacturing signals across Asia softened, with China’s official PMI at 49.0, marking a seventh straight month below the 50 threshold as export orders weakened. Surveys and analyst commentary tie the downturn to lingering U.S. tariff pressures and fading front-loading effects, even as some services gauges hold near expansion. The tariff backdrop has eased marginally after announcements cutting headline rates, yet order books remain fragile. Regional policymakers are watching spillovers into employment and capex. With the RBA and BoE policy decisions due, traders are reassessing currency and rates volatility alongside Asia’s factory readings.

U.S. equities closed October with solid gains, extending multi-month streaks across the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. A strong earnings season, led by megacap technology, underpinned breadth improvements and risk appetite into November. Amazon’s post-results rally amplified tech leadership, while easing rate expectations and an improving capex outlook supported multiples. Strategists noted the S&P 500’s renewed record cadence and Nasdaq’s seven-month run, even as macro risks linger around labor softness and consumer resilience. Portfolio positioning tilted toward quality growth and AI beneficiaries, with defensives mixed. Futures suggested a steady Asian handoff and modest positive bias into the new month.

Flows and crude trends remain focal after recent oil volatility and FII–DII counter-moves. Technicians highlight 25,300–25,500 as immediate Nifty support, with resistance clustered near 25,900–26,000.
