Stock Market LIVE: GIFT Nifty down; Asian markets trade mixed; SBI, Tata Motors Q1 results in focus

Stock Market LIVE on Friday, August 8, 2025: Indian benchmark equity indices are likely to kickstart the week's last trading session in the negative territory in the wake of the news that US President Donald Trump has ruled out any possibility of trade negotiations with New Delhi until the two countries resolve the ongoing dispute over tariffs. Notably, Trump has imposed a total of 50 per cent tariff on Indian exports to the US. Markets in Asia-Pacific traded mixed on Friday, following a choppy session on Wall Street where two of the three major US indices gave back earlier gains and closed lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.18 per cent, while the broader Topix index advanced 1.42 per cent, reaching a record high of 3,031.78. In contrast, South Korea's Kospi slipped 0.13 per cent, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 declined 0.29 per cent, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index dropped 0.59 per cent. Overnight in the US, Wall Street ended on a mixed note. The broader S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both closed lower, down 0.10 per cent and 0.50 per cent respectively, as shares of Eli Lilly fell following disappointing data from its oral weight-loss drug. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite defied the trend, closing at a record high with a gain of 0.30 per cent. Domestic cues Back home, investors await Foreign Exchange Reserves data.
