"GIFT Green, Earnings in Play: Bounce Above 25K or Budget Blues Ahead?"
Market Outlook
Indian markets may open higher but remain range-bound and weak, tracking positive GIFT Nifty cues amid US Fed decision and pre-Budget caution after Friday's 1% decline (Nifty closed at 25,048). Expect volatility from Q3 earnings and global trade talks; sustain above 25,200 for recovery, else downside risks persist.
Global & GIFT Nifty
Asian markets mixed with Nikkei +0.1%, KOSPI rebounding post-Trump tariff threats; GIFT Nifty at 25,162-25,201 (+0.3-0.4%), hinting positive open but Fed focus looms. US indices closed firm Friday, boosting sentiment.
