Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of November 21 -While yesterday was a stock market holiday on account of voting in Maharashtra, the Nifty50 finally broke its seven-day losing streak—the longest in over 20 months — on Tuesday. Despite a strong opening and a positive first half, a sharp sell-off in the latter half wiped out the day’s earlier gains, reportedly triggered by news of Ukraine's strike inside Russia. -Today's trading session will also see whether the Nifty 50 bulls are able to defend the 23,500 mark on the downside, particularly on the Nifty expiry day. -Meanwhile, Deepak Jasani of HDFC Securities expects Nifty to form a higher low before embarking on a sustainable bounce. 23350-23815 could be the band for the Nifty over the near term, he says.

Shares in Japan and South Korea fell alongside Hong Kong equity futures. Contracts for US benchmarks declined Thursday in Asian trading after falling on Nvidia earnings. The chip giant met third-quarter revenue and earnings expectations, but failed to meet the highest estimates for future revenue. Shares in Australia were slightly higher. -The tepid response to Nvidia’s earnings may ripple across global markets, given the size of the world’s largest company by market value and its role in the artificial intelligence boom. Shares of South Korea’s SK Hynix, which is a supplier of Nvidia, rose as much as 0.9% in Seoul. -Meanwhile, investors in Asia will also be looking to gauge the effect of a US indictment of Gautam Adani and other executives over the alleged payment of more than $250 million in bribes. -On the other hand, Bitcoin set another all-time high, supported by a series of developments highlighting the deepening embrace of the digital-asset industry in the US under crypto cheerleader Trump. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is fast approaching $100,000, helped along by MicroStrategy Inc.’s massive purchases. -Gold was up early Thursday, notching its fourth daily advance.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of November 7 -Overnight, benchmark indices on Wall Street hit record highs after Republican candidate Donald Trump emerged victorious in the Presidential election and is set for a second term in the White House after a four-year interval. -US Vice President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, told supporters to accept her election loss at the hands of President-elect Donald Trump but urged them to keep fighting for the ideals she espoused in her campaign as she publicly conceded the 2024 presidential race. -All three US benchmark indices ended at all-time high levels post the Trump win. The Dow Jones surged over 1,500 points or 3.5% to close at the 44,000 mark. This was the best single-day gain for the index since November 2022. The S&P 500 saw its best post-election trading session on record, jumping 2.5% to close near levels of 6,000.

The dollar edged higher after surging more than 1% on Wednesday. Benchmark equity gauges slipped in China, Australia and South Korea, and were mixed in Japan. The Federal Reserve is forecast to cut interest rates on Thursday. -The gains for US stocks reflected expectations that a Trump policy agenda favoring lower taxes and less regulation may support corporate profits. At the same time, Treasury 10-year yields surged 16 basis points on Wednesday on expectations that his fiscal plans and proposal to hike tariffs will drive inflation higher and erode the ability of the Fed to trim borrowing costs. -Now back home, continuing from where we left off after Tuesday's rebound, the market extended its rally on Wednesday, gaining over 1%, bolstered by positive global cues and significant developments in the US elections. BSE-listed companies gained nearly ₹8 lakh crore in market capitalisation in yesterday’s trade. All the sectoral indices closed in the green. Amongst them, the Nifty IT index, reality and oil & gas gained the most. -IT stocks were the biggest contributors to the market rally yesterday, as reflected by the 4% gain in the Nifty IT index, despite the rupee trading sharply lower at 84.29 against the dollar. The rupee experienced a significant drop of 0.20 due to the outcome of the US election, where Republican candidate Donald Trump emerged victorious. Trump's win has strengthened the dollar index, adding pressure on global currencies. -Thursday's trading session will not only be the weekly expiry of the Nifty 50, it will also see earnings reactions from Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, Blue Star, Aadhar Housing Finance, Delta Corp, Jindal Steel And Power, Power Grid Corporation of India, Tata Steel that reported results after market hours on Tuesday. -While there are Nifty results like Mahindra And Mahindra, Trent, broader market names like Lupin, Cochin Shipyard, NHPC, Steel Authority of India, Cummins India, Emami, Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Escorts Kubota, Ircon International, among others will also be reporting results. -The GIFT Nifty was lower this morning despite a strong handover from the US market, trading at a discount of more than 100 pts from Nifty Fut Wednesday close, indicating a start with sharp cuts for the Indian market.

-Welcome back to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. This is your host Kanishka Sarkar bringing you top developments ahead of today’s trading session -Early exit polls in the extremely close U.S. presidential election appear to give an edge to Republican Donald Trump. Trump won eight states in the election while Kamala Harris captured three states and Washington, D.C., Edison Research projected. The early results were as anticipated, with the contest expected to come down to seven swing states. -Early results from Georgia, which narrowly voted for Democrats four years ago, could offer initial insight into how the two candidates are performing. Pennsylvania and parts of Michigan, both crucial battlegrounds, close at 8 p.m. local time. -Equities in Japan and Australia climbed. Chinese equities were mixed, with the CSI 300 Index of onshore shares edging higher in early trading while a gauge of the nation’s Hong Kong-listed stocks down about 1%. -While results were still being collected and polls remained open in many key states, the ex-president’s odds of election were climbing on betting markets and on national forecasting sites such as Decision Desk HQ. The Mexican peso and the Japanese yen dropped about 1%. -Back home, for a better part of Tuesday's trading session, Monday's lows were in danger of being taken out as the Nifty made a low of 23,842 on Tuesday. Then came the rebound. The Nifty Bank was the one that triggered the upmove with a sharp recovery from the lows. The financial services expiry, coupled with oversold setups on the charts led to a major short-covering move on the indices. By the end of Tuesday's session, the Nifty was back above 24,200 and the Nifty Bank, after a 1,000-point move, was back above 52,200, having traded briefly below the mark of 51,000 in intraday trading. -All eyes are now on the United States, where the outcome of the Presidential Elections, which is among the most closely contested ones in recent times, will be known in just a few hours from know. Polls continue to show both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a neck-to-neck fight. Sometime later today, there should ideally be a clearer picture as to who has emerged as the winner to be the next President of the US. -Wednesday's trading session will not only be the weekly expiry of the Nifty Bank, that led the reversal during Tuesday's trading session, it will also see earnings reactions from both Dr. Reddy's and Titan, the two Nifty constituents that reported results after market hours on Tuesday. Earnings reactions will also come from stocks like GAIL, Oil India, Mankind Pharma, Manappuram Finance, Waaree Renewables, JK Tyre, Berger Paints, Balmer Lawrie, among others. -While there are Nifty results like Tata Steel, Power Grid on Wednesday, broader market names like Delta Corp, Endurance Technologies, Power Grid, RITES, Rain Industries,  Sonata Software, JSPL, Shipping Corporation, among others will also be reporting results. -In terms of commodities, oil was steady after a five-day run of gains as the market monitored a tight US presidential election and Hurricane Rafael menaced production in the Gulf of Mexico. West Texas Intermediate traded near $72 a barrel after rising 0.7% on Tuesday, with Brent crude closing below $76. Rafael is threatening about 1.7 million barrels a day of output in the US gulf, and Chevron Corp. has shut some oil and gas facilities in the area. Gold was also steady as investors monitored a tight US election that could prove massively consequential for financial markets. -GIFTNifty was off highs this morning trading at a discount of nearly 60 pts from Nifty Futures Tuesday close tracking US polls outcome, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of November 5 -Yesterday, the Nifty 50 ended sharply lower on the back of US poll uncertainty and a poor second quarter results show. The index even broke below the October consolidation low of 24,073 and even closed below the mark of 24,000. -Majority of the losses came from banking names that were the top contributors to the downside, along with Reliance Industries. 40% of the 309-point drop that the Nifty saw on Monday came from HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries and Axis Bank. -With Monday's fall, the Nifty is down nearly 9% from its record high of 26,277, which it had hit on September 27.

The likelihood of a disputed result may eventually drag the vote count out for weeks or even months. For many, that means one thing — a potential rise in volatility. -Overnight, the US markets ended lower to start the new week on a risk-off note as uncertainties over the US Presidential Election outcome and the Fed rate decision kept investors on the edge. The Dow Jones fell over 250 points, recovering from the lows of the day as at one point, the index was down over 400 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite swung between gains and losses, eventually ending the session with a 0.3% cut each. -Apart from US polls, there are additional catalysts likely to move the market. Election Day will quickly be followed on Thursday by the Fed decision and Jerome Powell’s press conference, where he’ll give details on the central bank’s interest-rate path.
