U.S. Labor Market Data Boosts Confidence: The U.S. jobless claims data exceeded expectations, alleviating concerns about a weakening labor market. This led to a significant drop in the likelihood of aggressive rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, positively impacting global markets.
Chinese Inflation Beats Forecasts: Consumer inflation in China rose by 0.5% in July, higher than the anticipated 0.3%. This reduced fears of deflation in China, providing further support to global equity markets.
U.S. Stock Market Rebound: Major U.S. indices, including the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones, saw gains between 1.8% and 2.9%, driven by strong labor market data. This positive sentiment carried over into Indian markets, contributing to the Sensex rally.
