Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Before Going Into Trade On July 29

Good Morning!

Stock Market Recap

Indian equity benchmarks fluctuated between gains and losses to end little changed amid F&O expiry and weak global cues. The Nifty 50 closed at 23,987.60, down 8.35 points or 0.03%, while the Sensex ended at 76,765.92, shedding 69.86 points or 0.09%.

US Markets Recap

US equities traded mixed on Tuesday morning as upbeat corporate earnings supported the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while a fresh wave of selling in semiconductor stocks weighed on the Nasdaq Composite.

At around 9:32 a.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 298.33 points, or 0.57%, at 52,508.41, extending gains after stronger-than-expected earnings from Sherwin-Williams and Coca-Cola boosted investor sentiment. The S&P 500 slipped 9.14 points, or 0.12%, to 7,404.04, while the Nasdaq Composite declined as weakness in chipmakers continued to pressure the technology-heavy index.
