At 8:45 am, the SGX Nifty was up 0.57%, indicating a higher start for Nifty50. In the US, Wall Street overcame the disappointment from the riots in Capitol Hill and celebrated the Democrats taking control of the US Congress after the victory in the Senate runoff elections in Georgia. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 211 points higher, and the S&P 500 was up 1.48%. Nasdaq hit an all-time high.
While Asian markets reflect the optimism in the US, the American dollar has weakened further and crude oil has seen the best close in a year. All these factors will contribute to the movement in stocks, aside from stock-specific news triggers.
