"Good evening; here is your edge for this session.

Bitcoin is currently down 2.23% to $83,872.56, marking a notable cooling in crypto demand as broader indices wait for the next catalyst. The US 10-Year Yield has pulled back 4.2 basis points to 5.269%, which is providing a modest tailwind for equity benchmarks. While the monthly trend reflects broader caution, today's session is characterized by traders tightening their exposure ahead of tomorrow's policy release.

Investors are primarily focused on the upcoming FOMC Meeting Minutes, which are keeping the US Dollar Index supported above 102.00. The Reserve Bank of India is expected to move away from its status-quo stance with a predicted 25 basis point hike to the repo rate. Elsewhere, oil prices are showing resilience with WTI up 0.83% to $90.18, even as regional tensions persist following the interception of a Houthi ballistic missile over Saudi Arabia.

Biggest Movers Right Now? Ethereum, VIX, Bitcoin, and US 10Y Yield are down. High Yield Bonds is up."

News Risk Assessment

Potential risk shift: The RBI's expected rate hike to 5.5% represents a material shift in regional monetary policy that could impact emerging market liquidity and sentiment beyond the Indian stock exchange.
