US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war, but failed to reach a definitive agreement. Both leaders spoke positively of the meeting, suggesting more talks could lead to a conclusion. However the market analysts believe the Indian stock market will not react sharply to the meeting's outcome, as no breakthrough was expected. Attention is now shifting to the upcoming Trump-Zelensky meeting. Global cues remain positive for the Indian market due to softer US inflation data, a fall in US 10-year bond yields, and expectations of a Fed rate cut. (PC: Firstpost & The Hindu)
