GIFT Nifty Opening Update
GIFT Nifty opened today at 23,900.00. It is down -342.00 points (-1.42%) from yesterday’s close of 24,091.50— so the trend is negative.
As investors evaluated the effects of a US naval blockade on Iran’s ports in the wake of unsuccessful negotiations between Washington and Tehran to end the Middle East crisis, the Indian stock market is expected to start red on Monday, April 13, following dismal global market sentiments. With the indicator lingering around 23,751—nearly 340 points below the previous close of Nifty futures—Gift Nifty patterns also suggest a muted start for domestic shares. “Indian markets are set to begin the week on a weak note, with Gift Nifty indicating a gap-down opening near the 23,700 zone. The negative start is largely driven by deteriorating global sentiment following fresh geopolitical escalation in the Middle East. The failure of U.S.–Iran negotiations over the weekend has heightened concerns of a prolonged conflict, further intensified by reports of a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports,” said Hariprasad K.
The optimism surrounding US-Iran war talks caused the Indian stock market to close significantly higher on Friday, with both benchmark indices rising more than 1%. The Nifty 50 increased 276 points, or 1.16%, to close the day at 24,050.60, while the Sensex increased 919 points, or 1.20%, to close at 77,550.25. On Monday, April 13, 2026, these equities are probably going to stay in the spotlight because to the US-Iran war.
