U.S. market showed mixed performance with the Nasdaq 100 rising by 0.3%, supported by strength in tech stocks, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%, pressured by weak private sector hiring data that heightened concerns over the broader economic impact of ongoing trade policy uncertainty. This slight decline in U.S. activity, was the impact of tariffs and heightened uncertainty across the economy. In the Asia-Pacific region, equity-index futures traded mixed ahead of important data releases scheduled for Friday, including inflation figures from Taiwan and the Philippines, Australian trade data, and China’s Caixin Services PMIs. Meanwhile, European markets remained in focus as the European Central Bank prepared to announce its interest rate decision later in the day, a key event for global monetary policy watchers. GIFT Nifty futures were trading 7 points higher, indicating a muted start for the bourses. In stock specific front, Newgen Software Technologies will be in focus as the company received a $2.5 million supply and implementation order from an international client to support a digital transformation initiative spanning multiple business divisions.

Vedanta Resources (VRL), the London-based parent of India’s Vedanta, is looking at refinancing credit facility worth $550 million, and is discussions with several lenders from Middle East, Europe and Japan, sources aware of the development said. These high-interest borrowings are set to mature in 2026. The proposed issuance offers investors three structures. The first tranche is ₹2,250 crore with a ₹750 crore greenshoe option, maturing in December 2027. A second option totals ₹1,000 crore with a ₹75 crore greenshoe and a three year tenor, while the third comprises ₹850 crore, maturing in two years, a company spokesperson said. The fundraising comes as Vedanta undergoes a major restructuring, spinning off its businesses into five independent, pure-play entities. The group has outlined a $4 billion investment plan over the next three years, with $1.5 billion already deployed in 2024–25 (FY25).
Why it Matters:
Vedanta’s $550 million refinancing move is crucial to manage its high-interest debt maturing in 2026 and ease financial pressure. This comes amid a major restructuring, where the group is splitting into five focused entities. With a $4 billion investment roadmap underway, refinancing ensures liquidity and investor confidence during this pivotal transition.
Around the World
Asian markets were mixed on Thursday as traders weighed weak U.S. economic data and uncertainty over trade policies. While Japan, Australia, and Singapore saw minor losses or stayed flat due to softer wage and trade data, Hong Kong and South Korea outperformed. Hong Kong’s tech-heavy Hang Seng Index rose on gains in stocks like Alibaba and Meituan, supported by optimism in U.S. tech and AI trends. South Korea’s KOSPI surged nearly 2%, driven by strong chipmaker stocks and relief after a new president was elected, ending months of political tension. Meanwhile, China’s markets lagged, with weak manufacturing data dampening the slight growth seen in services. Investors are now watching for potential stimulus measures from Beijing and a call between Trump and Xi that could revive trade talks. In India, markets stayed steady ahead of an expected rate cut by the Reserve Bank. Overall, tech stocks led gains, while macro data kept traders cautious.
