Portfolio Pulse from Akanksha Bakshi
Global markets saw varied performance with Asia and Europe posting gains while the US markets ended mixed. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose, despite a slowdown in the US services sector and no hints of interest rate cuts from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Job additions in March exceeded expectations, but the ISM services PMI fell short of forecasts. Energy materials and communication services led S&P 500 sector gains, while utilities and consumer staples declined. Crude oil traded above $85, and gold reached a new high at $2,310.
