Section titled “Pre-Market”Markets Data
Section titled “Markets Data”Markets face downward pressure today with negative overnight moves in US indices and rising Treasury yields. The short bias reflects weak global cues despite domestic institutional buying. Brent crude's climb and dollar strength may weigh on sentiment, though reduced volatility could provide some support. Focus remains on earnings-driven stock selection amid mixed technical signals.
