Indian benchmark indices are likely to be impacted, supported by a global risk-on sentiment amid reports that US President Donald Trump’s tariff measures may be more targeted than initially anticipated. Additionally, GIFT Nifty signalled a higher start for domestic equities.
As of 07:15 AM, GIFT Nifty, which serves as an early indicator of the Nifty 50’s performance, was up 27 points or 0.12% at 23,505. Stocks across the Asia-Pacific region opened on a strong note, along with Wall Street futures, as Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, expected on April 2, are likely to be more selective than previously suggested. Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.14%, while South Korea’s Kospi gained 0.4%.
In the previous week, India’s Nifty 50 surged 4.26% (953.2 points) to close at 23,350.4, while the Sensex jumped 4.17% (3,076 points) to 76,905. This marked the strongest weekly rally for both indices since February 2021.
