GIFT Nifty Opening Update
GIFT Nifty opened today at 25,898.50. It is up 1,042.00 points (4.15%) from yesterday’s close of 25,135.50— so the trend is positive.
The Indian stock market is anticipated to commence on a robust note on Tuesday after President Donald Trump’s declaration of an India–US trade agreement. Gift Nifty trends indicate a gap-up opening for domestic indices, with Gift Nifty trading around the 25,937 level—approximately a 795-point premium over the previous close of Nifty futures. “Indian markets are expected to commence on a robust positive note today, bolstered by encouraging global signals after the announcement of a significant India–US trade agreement. The reduction in reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 25% has significantly lifted global risk sentiment, with GIFT Nifty indicating a sharp gap-up opening, nearly 3% higher overnight,” stated Ponmudi R.
Trump stated that reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods would be reduced to 18% from 25%, and mentioned that India would eliminate its tariffs and non-tariff barriers on US goods entirely. On Monday, the Indian stock market broke a two-session losing streak to close higher, with the Nifty 50 reclaiming the 25,000 level. The Sensex surged by 943.52 points, or 1.17%, finishing at 81,666.46, whereas the Nifty 50 increased by 262.95 points, or 1.06%, closing at 25,088.40.
