Gift Nifty indicates a muted start for the Indian market; US Market ended with loss; Asian market traded lower following the Wall Street

PRE MARKET

Gift Nifty indicates a flat start for the broader index in India, with a gain of 25.5 points or 0.10 percent. The Nifty futures were trading around the 25,226.50 level.

Investors were spooked by Middle East tensions, while a tame inflation report calmed concerns around tariff-driven price pressures and traders awaited more details on China-U.S. trade talks.

The S&P 500 declined 0.27% to end the session at 6,022.24 points, the Nasdaq declined 0.50% to 19,615.88 points, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended essentially unchanged at 42,865.77 points.

Asian markets were trading mostly lower on Thursday due to the ongoing US-China trade talks, with the Nikkei, Hang Seng, and Taiwanese indexes down 0.6 percent each.
