"With the mother market US setting new record highs, the global equity market mood is positive. West Asian geopolitics is no longer a threat to global economy or markets. Strong macros of the Indian economy can facilitate increasing fund flows into Indian equity. Sustained weakness in the dollar ( dollar index now at 96.81) means the possibility of heavy selling by FIIs is low. They might even continue to buy despite high valuations," said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments.

There are no clear indications yet of strong recovery in earnings growth. Auto stocks will respond to today's auto sales numbers," Vijayakumar added.Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking, said, "After a flat to positive opening, Nifty can find support at 25,500 followed by 25,400 and 25,300. On the higher side, 25,600 can be an immediate resistance, followed by 25,700 and 25,800."

US job openings rise to 7.8 million in May, show labour market strength
US job openings rose unexpectedly in May, a sign that the American labour market remains resilient in the face of high borrowing costs and uncertainty over US economic policy. US employers posted 7.8 million vacancies in May, The Labour Department reported Tuesday, up from 7.4 million in April. Economists had expected a slight decrease to 7.3 million. The number of Americans quitting their job a sign of confidence in their prospects rose modestly, and layoffs fell. Openings are high by historical standards but have come down sharply since peaking at a record 12.1 million in March 2022. The US job market has steadily decelerated from hiring boom of 2021-2023 when the economy bounced back from COVID-19 lockdowns. The unexpectedly strong post-pandemic recovery ignited inflation, prompting the Federal Reserve to raise its benchmark interest rate 11 times in 2022 and 2023. The higher borrowing costs have gradually cooled the labour market, and President Donald Trump's policy of taxing imports at high rates has added uncertainty to the hiring outlook. The Labour Department is expected to report Thursday that the US economy generated 117,000 jobs last month, according to a survey of forecasters by the data firm FactSet. That would be down from 139,000 in May, from an average 168,000 a month in 2024 and a from a monthly average of 400,000 from 2021 through 2023. The unemployment rate is forecast to tick up to a still-low 4.3% from 4.2% in May.

'One Big Beautiful Bill': Senate passes Trump's spending bill after marathon voting session; JD Vance breaks tie
The US Senate on Tuesday passed President Donald Trump's flagship spending bill after a marathon voting session that lasted more than 18 hours. The vote came after a prolonged "vote-a-rama" during which senators offered and debated numerous amendments to the nearly 1,000-page legislation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The bill, which Trump calls the "One Big Beautiful Bill", aims to extend his first-term tax cuts at a cost of $4.5 trillion, increase military spending, and fund mass deportations and border security. The legislation is expected to add over $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, as per a report by the news agency AFP. The Senate passage is seen as a significant step for the Trump administration, which is pushing to have the legislation signed into law by Friday, ahead of US Independence Day celebrations. However, the bill now faces a separate vote in the House of Representatives, where several Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns. Senators have been divided over provisions in the bill that would strip around $1 trillion in subsidised health care from millions of low-income Americans. Independent analysts, as quoted by AFP, say nearly 12 million people could lose health coverage by 2034 due to proposed cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt urged Republicans to "stay tough and unified" as the Senate slogged through the amendment process. Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticised the pace of proceedings, saying, "They've got a lot of members who were promised things that they may not be able to deliver on. And so they're just stalling. But we're just pushing forward amendment after amendment. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They don't like these amendments. The public is on our side in almost every amendment we do." Senate Democrats focused their amendments on opposing cuts to health care, food aid programmes, and clean energy tax credits. Despite strong opposition from Democrats, Trump maintained support within the Senate, where Republicans hold a narrow majority. Republican Majority Leader John Thune could only afford to lose one more vote after conservatives Rand Paul and Thom Tillis publicly opposed the bill. The bill's next hurdle is the House of Representatives, where it may face stronger resistance. Some fiscal conservatives argue the bill does not cut spending enough, while moderate Republicans are worried about the impact on Medicaid. The bill has also led to internal rifts within the Republican camp. Trump's former adviser Elon Musk, who resigned as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in May, renewed his criticism of the bill. As voting began, Musk said, "debt slavery" and called for the creation of a new political party. He added, "Republicans campaigned on reduced federal spending only to vote for the bill," and said he would work to challenge lawmakers who supported the package. A vote in the House could take place as early as Wednesday. The 'Big, beautiful bill' includes a total of $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, based on the latest analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It makes permanent the tax rates introduced in Trump's 2017 legislation, which are set to expire at the end of the year unless Congress approves. The bill also introduces new tax measures Trump had proposed during his campaign, including eliminating taxes on tips. The legislation rolls back billions of dollars in green energy tax credits. Democrats argue this move will significantly impact investments in wind and solar energy across the country. The bill outlines $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, mainly affecting Medicaid and food assistance programs. These cuts would come through new work requirements for able-bodied individuals, including some parents and older adults, stricter eligibility rules, and adjustments to how the federal government reimburses states. In addition, the bill allocates $350 billion for border and national security, including funding for deportation operations. A portion of this would be financed through new fees levied on immigrants.
