Indian Markets React to Weak US Jobs Data with Gains in Titan and Tech Mahindra
The Indian markets began the week on August 10, 2026, with a flat performance. The Nifty 50 opened at 24,566.70, while the Sensex stood at 78,466.72.
However, some stocks showed gains as investors reacted to weak US jobs data that may slow Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Titan Company and Tech Mahindra were among the top gainers in early trade.
The market is now focusing on upcoming US inflation reports and rising oil prices. Brent crude oil prices are hovering around $85 per barrel, which can act as a headwind for the economy and corporate profit margins.
Investors are keeping a close eye on key economic reports from the United States later this week, including the release of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data due on Wednesday and Thursday. These reports will provide clarity on inflation trends and influence global market direction.
