Markets across asset classes showed mixed signals, with stability in cryptocurrencies contrasting with weakness in global equities, while key corporate developments in India remained in focus.
Global Markets: Weak Sentiment Dominates
Global cues remained negative, setting a cautious tone for investors:
- GIFT Nifty fell 1.38% to 22,822, indicating a weak start for Dalal Street
- Japan’s Nikkei 225 plunged over 4%
- Hang Seng declined 0.88%, while Shanghai Composite dropped 1.25%
In the US:
- S&P 500 fell 1.51%
- Nasdaq dropped 2.01%
- Dow Futures edged up 0.12%
The decline signals a risk-off environment globally, driven by profit booking and macro uncertainty.
Crypto Market: Bitcoin Stable, Altcoins Volatile
In contrast to equities, the crypto market remained relatively stable at the top.
Bitcoin traded near $67,998, up marginally by 0.21%, while Ethereum hovered around $2,056.
However, broader markets showed sharp divergence:
Top Gainers:
- Sign (+14.88%)
- River (+11.64%)
- DeXe (+9.95%)
Top Losers:
- Fluid (-17.67%)
- Telcoin (-9.65%)
- Pyth Network (-8.57%)
The trend highlights strong speculative activity in mid- and small-cap tokens, even as large-cap crypto assets remain range-bound.
