Budget 2024 Market Close Highlights : Stocks traded mixed as focus turned from US politics to a heavy week for company earnings with tech giants Tesla Inc. and Alphabet Inc. due to report later Tuesday.

Europe’s Stoxx 600 Index was little changed, while US equity futures pointed to a lower open on Wall Street. In Asia, gains for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics Co. buoyed the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. The dollar and US Treasuries traded steady.

Companies representing 29% of the S&P 500’s market value are due to report this week and investors are waiting to see if the rally in tech stocks has room to extend after hitting a wall. Analysts are keen for details of Tesla’s robotaxi service, while AI offerings are seen boosting Alphabet’s Google Cloud revenue.

US election developments are still front and center, with Kamala Harris now having more than enough pledged delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.

“Historically, presidential election years have been favorable for equity investors," said Kieran Calder, head of equity research for Asia at Union Bancaire Privee in Singapore. “We think that the underlying economy and earnings picture is good for the market, and investors can be rewarded for looking past US election drama."

In economic data, US readings on the economy are due later in the week as well as the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge.

The yen strengthened against the dollar as traders look set to trim their carry positions during a summer holiday season. Some Bank of Japan officials are open to raising rates at the July meeting while others see weakness in consumer spending complicating their decision, according to people familiar with the matter.

In commodities, oil was steady near a six-week low.

Sensex Today Live : Markets prepared for the budget 2024 announcements today

Sensex Today Live : Indian shares will likely open little changed on Tuesday, as investors brace for policy announcements in the union budget due at 11 a.m. IST, which could have a huge bearing on the trajectory of markets.

The GIFT Nifty was at 24,550 points as of 7:19 a.m. IST, suggesting that the NSE Nifty 50 will open near its Monday's close of 24,509.25.

The Nifty has hit multiple all-time highs through its roughly 13% rally this year, despite a near 6% slide on June 4 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party returned to power but by unexpectedly having to rely on allies. Still, the index has risen in each of the seven weeks since.

The budget, the new government's first major policy announcement, is expected to focus on job creation and boosting consumption, which analysts expect will be positive for sectors such consumer goods, real estate and autos.

The Nifty held ground on Monday but volatility spiked, with some analysts saying there could be higher taxes for trading-related capital gains or for derivatives trading.

"There is an outlier probability of negative changes in the capital gains tax regime, which could trigger a strong sell-off and prolonged sideways market thereafter," said Seshadri Sen and Arthkumar Gandhi, analysts at Emkay Global.

The Nifty's more-than-200% surge from the COVID-19 lows in March 2020 was largely powered by an influx of retail traders, especially in the derivatives market.

Still, that influx, and the country's rising market capitalisation-to-GDP ratio, were among the markets-related cautionary statements in the government's Economic Survey released on Monday.

In the survey, the government also pegged economic growth at 6.5%-7% growth for 2024-25, less than most analysts and even the central bank's projection.
