Hello and welcome to CNBC-Tv18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important cues ahead of the trading session of April 24

- The US equity market continues to slowly regain its confidence. In the overnight session, all three major indexes climbed for a second straight session following a strong batch of corporate earnings.

- Japan’s Nikkei led the Asian markets this morning as markets in the region rose across the board. The Japanese benchmark jumped more than 2%.

-Oil prices rose in early trade adding to gains in the previous session, after industry data showed a surprise drop in US crude stocks last week, a positive sign for demand, and attention shifted away from hostilities in the Middle East.

-Gold prices steadied last night after hitting a more than two-week low on diminishing fears about an escalation of tensions in the Middle East. Now investors await key economic data for further clarity on the timeline on US interest rate cuts.

- Nifty 50 closed below the 61.8% retracement level yesterday. Two of the biggest Nifty 50 constituents in terms of weightage - HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries both reported their results, and neither played any part in taking the Nifty further higher despite some positive surprises in each of their results.
