On a Thursday morning in July, Indian equity markets opened quietly higher, carried along by a tide of optimism flowing from Tokyo to Sydney to Wall Street. The Sensex and Nifty50 posted modest but meaningful gains, with technology stocks leading the way as the market held its breath before TCS unveiled its quarterly earnings — a moment that would set the tone for an entire earnings season. In the larger story of global capital, this was a day of patient positioning: not triumph, not fear, but the careful stillness of investors waiting to see whether the ground beneath them would hold.
