GIFT Nifty Opening Update
GIFT Nifty opened today at 25,621.00. It is up 31.50 points (0.12%) from yesterday’s close of 25,567.00— so the trend is positive.
The Indian stock market is expected to commence on a flat-to-positive note on Tuesday, in light of the prevailing geopolitical tensions. Asian markets predominantly experienced declines on Tuesday due to the resurgence of U.S. tariff threats related to Greenland. Initial indications from Gift Nifty suggested a favorable start, showing an increase of 38 points or 0.15% at 25,605.
“Indian equities are poised to commence with a measured tone as global trade uncertainties, stemming from the assertive implementation of tariffs by the U.S. administration, persist in fostering a risk-averse sentiment across international markets. Increased geopolitical tensions, coupled with ongoing foreign investor selling and sustained rupee weakness, are undermining confidence and are expected to limit any significant upside in domestic equities, even amidst short-term recoveries. Steady buying by domestic institutional investors continues to act as a key stabilizer, absorbing selling pressure and helping prevent deeper drawdowns in the market,” stated Ponmudi R.
On Monday, both Indian indices – Sensex and Nifty – experienced declines, influenced by weak global cues and apprehensions regarding a potential trade war after US President Donald Trump’s announcement of tariffs on eight European countries. The Sensex experienced a drop of 324 points, representing a decrease of 0.39%, closing at 83,246.18. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 concluded the session down by 109 points, or 0.42%, finishing at 25,585.50. The BSE Midcap index experienced a decline of 0.43%, while the Smallcap index faced a more significant decrease of 1.28%.
