The global markets are quite mixed. We got a mixed handover from the US markets. The S&P and Nasdaq snapped their three-day losing streak. While Dow Jones was absolutely flat with some negative bias. Apple hit fresh new highs, so definitely something to track as far as the technology space is concerned. Asian markets are mixed yet again. Hang Seng is down 1.4 percent, Taiwan and China are shut for a holiday. But we do have Nikkei which is higher in trade today. Now core inflation numbers in Japan reported came in at 3.2 percent versus an estimate of 3.4 percent. Inflation in Japan is still above Bank of Japan's target of 2 percent. Bank of England hiked rates by 50 basis points versus an estimate of 25 basis points. This is the 13th-consecutive rate hike from Bank of England. So central bank action continues to be taking the centre stage yet again. As far as our own markets are concerned, Indian markets closed at the day's low after a lot of volatility.
