GIFT Nifty suggests a muted start for the broader index in India, with a loss of 44 points or 0.18 percent. The Nifty futures were trading around the 24,170.00 level.<\/p>

The benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose modestly to record closing highs for a second straight day on Thursday on optimism that the worst of the Middle East conflict had passed after Israel agreed to a \u200ctemporary ceasefire with Lebanon and U.S. President Donald Trump indicated the U.S. and Iran could meet again on the weekend.<\/p>

The S&P 500 was up 0.26% to end the session at 7,041.28 points. The Nasdaq ended up 0.36% to 24,102.70 points, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.10% to 48,627.26 points.<\/p>

Asian stocks fell as investors lightened their positions ahead of the weekend while awaiting progress on extending the US-Iran ceasefire, after a rally driven by expectations the truce would be prolonged.<\/p>

Japan\u2019s Nikkei, Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng, and the Taiwanese weighted index edged down -0.91, -1.16, and -0.46 percent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
