Early trade action was stock specific, with Infosys<\/strong> in focus ahead of its \u20b925 per share<\/strong> dividend record date and Belrise Industries<\/strong> drawing attention after a bullish brokerage initiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Why did Nifty open weak today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
                \n\n

                Nifty opened soft as geopolitical tensions, higher global bond yields, costlier energy and concerns over global growth dampened risk appetite, while technical indicators and derivatives positioning pointed to a weak near\u2011term structure.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                What should Infosys shareholders know about the dividend today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
                \n\n

                Infosys has set 10 June 2026 as the record date for its \u20b925 per share final dividend, so 9 June is effectively the last trading day to buy the stock under T+1 settlement and still qualify for the payout, which is scheduled for 25 June.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                \n

                Why are gold and silver prices lower on MCX today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
                \n\n

                MCX gold and silver are tracking global declines driven by higher US Treasury yields, expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated for longer, reduced ETF holdings, and a partial easing of immediate Middle East safe\u2011haven demand.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
