Stock market today: The Indian stock market benchmark indices, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, are expected to open higher on Tuesday, supported by positive global market cues after Donald Trump indicated that the US-Iran conflict could be approaching an end.
Trends in Gift Nifty also signal a strong start for the domestic benchmarks. Gift Nifty was trading around the 24,397 level, reflecting a premium of nearly 275 points over the previous close of Nifty futures.
“Indian equity markets are expected to open on a mildly positive note, supported by improving global cues as geopolitical tensions show early signs of easing. Comments from Donald Trump suggesting that the U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran could conclude soon have triggered a decline in crude oil prices and the U.S. dollar, helping restore risk appetite across global markets. U.S. equities closed the previous session in positive territory, while Asian markets are showing signs of recovery following the drop in oil prices, indicating a modest improvement in global sentiment,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
On Monday, the Indian equity market ended sharply lower amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran and a steep rise in crude oil prices. The Sensex plunged 1,352.74 points, or 1.71%, to close at 77,566.16, while the Nifty 50 declined 422.40 points, or 1.73%, to settle at 24,028.05.
