GIFT Nifty is trading more than 800 points higher, buoyed by the landmark India–US trade agreement.

Indian equity benchmarks—the Nifty 50 and Sensex, along with the broader market indices—are set for a strong gap-up opening. The optimism follows the removal of a key uncertainty surrounding the India–US trade pact, as the agreement has now been formally signed and tariffs have been slashed to 18% from the earlier 50%. Stay tuned for LIVE market coverage and track how individual stocks react to this major development. Stock Market Live Updates: India and the United States have finalized the long-anticipated trade deal. The announcement has triggered a sharp overnight surge of nearly 800 points in GIFT Nifty, while traders await confirmation of the implied opening levels. The Nifty rebounded strongly from Sunday’s sell-off, which followed the STT hike, despite persistent FII selling pressure. The index currently stands about 1,300 points below its all-time high of 26,377. The trade agreement is expected to shine a spotlight on export-driven sectors. Today marks the weekly expiry of Nifty 50 options, which could lead to additional short-covering in positions built earlier. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who entered the current series with nearly 88% net short positions, will remain in sharp focus. Market experts suggest FIIs may re-emerge as buyers in Indian equities following the trade deal announcement. Investment in securities market are subject to market risks.
