Markets for You
Asian markets traded up following upbeat U.S. markets, improved
crude oil prices and strong corporate earning reports from some of the
major companies. Bank of Japan’s decision to maintain status-quo and
rise in Japan's industrial output on quarterly basis during Mar 2018
boosted sentiment. Today (as of Apr 30), Asian markets opened higher
due to gains in financials and industrial sectors. Continued positive
sentiment after North and South Korea pledged to achieve peace during
the last session added to the gains. Hang seng grew 1.41%. (as at 8.a.m.
IST). Nikkei remained closed.
As per the last close, European markets ended higher following
weakness in Euro and the British pound against the dollar. U.K.’s weak
GDP report for the first quarter drove currencies lower.
As per the last close, U.S markets ended on a flat note following mixed
earnings results from several U.S. majors. Also, investors remained
cautious due to uncertainty about interest rates outlook after U.S.
economic growth for the first quarter came in slower than previous
quarter but was better than market expectations.

the green. Encouraging quarterly earnings numbers from major
companies helped Sensex to regain its 35,000-mark in the intra-day

trust between India and China. A drop in U.S. Treasury Yields provided
support to the buying interest.
