Global Stocks Wobble as GIFT Nifty Recedes from Peaks and Asian Markets Tumble

Published July 19, 2024

GIFT Nifty Retreats Amid Uneasy Asian Markets

Today's stock market session on July 18, 2028, commences with palpable tension as the GIFT Nifty withdraws from its earlier highs amidst lackluster trade in Asia. Major Asian stock indices have revealed a downward trend, with Japan's Nikkei plummeting by 2%, and South Korea's Kospi by 1%. This subdued atmosphere in the Asian markets is largely attributed to the negative spill-over from Wall Street, where the Nasdaq Composite endured a severe blow, plunging nearly 2.8%, marking its most substantial decline since earlier records.

Impact on Key Stocks and Currencies

In light of the turbulent market sentiment, specific stocks and currencies have garnered attention. INFY, the stock ticker representing Infosys Limited, stands out amidst this volatility. Infosys, renowned for its cutting-edge digital consulting, technology, outsourcing, and services, has a global footprint extending across North America, Europe, India, and other regions, all orchestrated from its headquarters in Bengaluru, India. Moreover, currency pairs like FOREX:GBP are also in the limelight, as investors closely monitor the forex market fluctuations during these uncertain times.
