Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Going Into Trade On June 5

Asian markets were poised to climb on Monday after the S&P 500 rose to the cusp of a bull market amid strengthening bets for a Federal Reserve rate pause this month.

Oil rallied on a supply cut from Saudi Arabia. Crude jumped more 3% on the pledge to make an extra 1 million barrel-a-day reduction in July, which trims Saudi Arabia’s production to the lowest level for several years.

Equity futures for Japan, Australia and Hong Kong all rose more than 1%, suggesting early advances around the region. Contracts for U.S. benchmarks were little changed in Asia after further gains on Friday that were fueled by big tech, options positioning and Fed bets.

A mixed jobs report shaped the wagers on a Fed pause, with signs of labor-market slackening in May despite a pickup in hiring. As stocks rose on Friday, Wall Street’s “fear gauge” plummeted to pre-pandemic levels. The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, dropped below 15 from an average of 23 in the past year.

Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year treasuries in U.S. was trading at 3.69%. Crude advanced over 2% above $77-mark, while Bitcoin was trading around 27,000-level.

At 5:29 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was up 0.48% at 18,717.5.

Domestic benchmark indices moved up after two days of decline with real estate, metals and PSU banking stocks leading the rally, managing to close marginally higher on a weekly basis. The Indian rupee closed higher against the U.S. dollar for the second day in a row as domestic equities gained and the greenback showed broad weakness.

Foreign investors remained net sellers for the second straight day and offloaded equities worth Rs 658.9 crore. On the other hand, domestic institutional investors were net buyers for the second day in a row and bought stocks worth Rs 581.9 crore.
