Indian markets:

• The Sensex and the Nifty 50, India’s domestic benchmark equity indices, closed Monday’s session in negative territory, primarily influenced by declines in information technology (IT), metals, pharma, and bank stocks. This downward trend coincided with weak global indicators preceding crucial macroeconomic data releases. 
• IT stocks experienced a 1.17% drop as investors braced for a substantial U.S. inflation report expected later in the week, which could potentially influence the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate decisions. 
• Given that a significant portion of IT companies’ revenue originates from the U.S., this news weighed heavily on the sector. With anticipation building for significant inflation updates from Europe and Japan later in the week, Asian markets maintained a subdued stance.

Global Markets:

• Asian shares were taking a breather near seven-month highs on Monday as investors awaited inflation data from the United States, Japan and Europe that will help refine expectations for future rate moves.
• Early Monday, S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures were both trading 0.1% lower.
• MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was little changed, having climbed 1.7% last week to seven-month highs.
• The gains were thanks in large part to a rally in Chinese stocks, which have jumped almost 10% in as many sessions on hopes for more aggressive stimulus.
• Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.5%, having climbed 1.6% last week to clear its previous record high as bulls look to test the 40,000 barriers.
