This is how analysts read the market pulse:
Global stocks rose as the US CPI undershot expectations, reinforcing expectations of a dovish Fed stance despite concerns over data reliability during the shutdown, said Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Investments, adding that investors are now watching for signals on the Fed’s easing path in 2026.”Meanwhile, the BoJ has raised its key rate by 25 basis points to a three-decade high, a move that could change global liquidity trends. Domestically, strong global cues and bargain hunting have boosted indices, with large-cap stocks leading the gains. Oil prices continued to soften on oversupply concerns and subdued growth prospects. While sentiment remains constructive, near-term volatility may persist amid uncertainty over trade deal timelines and upcoming macro data releases,” the CEO said. Nair.

American markets
U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday after a volatile week as the recovery in technology stocks outweighed losses in consumer names like Nike.
Gains in megacaps built on Thursday’s rally, fueled by strong forecasts from Micron Technology that revived investor interest in artificial intelligence stocks after a recent pullback on valuation and financing concerns. Micron climbed 7% to a record high, while Nvidia rose 3.9% after the U.S. began a review that could pave the way for initial shipments to China of its second-most powerful AI chip. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 183 points, or 0.4%, to 48,134.89. The S&P 500 rose 0.9% to 6,834.50, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.3% to 23,307.62.
European markets
European shares closed at a record on Friday, led by gains in defense and insurance stocks, as investors regained confidence after an earlier sell-off with just a few sessions left in the year.
The pan-European STOXX 600 rose 0.4% to 587.50, continuing the recovery that followed the strongest one-day rise in more than three weeks, sending the index up 1.7% this week.
Technical view
The Nifty has witnessed a breakout from a falling wedge pattern, indicating improving market sentiment, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that the index has regained the 21-day EMA on the daily chart.
“After finding support around the 50-day EMA, the index recovered towards 26,000 points. Going forward, 26,000 will be an important level to watch; a decisive move above this level could push the index towards 26,300. On the other hand, immediate support is placed at 25,900, which is likely to act as the first line of defense for the Nifty,” De said.
