🌍 Global Market Trends
📉 Tech Stocks Under Pressure
Global stock markets are seeing a sell-off in technology and software stocks, largely due to investor concerns about how recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) might disrupt traditional software business models. This weakness has dragged indexes like the Nasdaq and tech shares lower.
📈 Broader Equity Performance Mixed
Despite tech sector weakness, some major indexes — such as the UK’s FTSE 100 and European benchmarks — have finished higher as traditional sectors like insurance, healthcare, and energy outperform.
💰 Commodities & Safe-Haven Flows
Precious metals — especially gold — are rebounding strongly, moving back above key psychological levels as investors seek safety amid equity market volatility and geopolitical tensions.

📉 Inflation in Europe Eases
Eurozone inflation for January fell to 1.7%, below the European Central Bank’s 2% target, suggesting softer price pressures. This might ease monetary policy concerns, although rate cuts are not widely expected yet.

📈 Sensex & Nifty Rally with Mixed Sector Dynamics
