🔑 3 Things That Matter Most Today
- 🔥 US ADP Jobs (6:15 PM IST): Most important data point of the week. Consensus 130K. Below 100K = Fed rate cut hopes revive = BTC and Nifty both rally. Above 180K = more hawkish = sell-off. This single number could move markets 1–2% either way.
- 🌍 US-Iran Doha talks: Both sides meeting in Doha today. A constructive outcome keeps Brent below $75 = India inflation relief = RBI rate cut August possible = Nifty bullish. A breakdown sends Brent back toward $80–$85.
- ⚖️ MiCA midnight deadline: Hundreds of unlicensed European crypto firms winding down today. Creates short-term crypto selling pressure but long-term regulatory clarity is bullish.
