Market Outlook

The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open higher on Tuesday, driven by positive global cues. The GIFT Nifty is trading near the 24,397 mark, suggesting a premium of about 275 points over the previous close of Nifty futures.

The Indian equity market is expected to open on a mildly positive note, supported by improving global cues. The decline in crude oil prices and the U.S. dollar has helped restore risk appetite across global markets. The U.S. equities closed the previous session in positive territory, while Asian markets are showing signs of recovery following the drop in oil prices.
