- Asian markets show modest activity; Japan’s Nikkei edges up, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slips, possibly due to trade-related news.
- Commodities remain steady, with gold and silver holding high, suggesting safe-haven demand amid volatility. Oil prices are stable.
- India’s Nifty 50 is consolidating, with support at 24,600–24,450 and resistance at 25,000, influenced by domestic factors like RBI dividend transfers and upcoming economic data.

**Context**:

- Markets are navigating U.S.-China trade talks and tariff developments, with cautious optimism from a temporary truce tempered by geopolitical risks.
- Upcoming economic data, including India’s industrial production and U.S. GDP updates, plus FOMC minutes, may drive near-term sentiment.
