Pre-Market Setup & Global Cues - 17 March, 2026

Global cues are supportive this morning. US markets closed higher with Nasdaq +1.22%, S&P +1.01% and Dow +0.83%, after a largely range-bound session, indicating steady buying interest. Asian markets are trading strong across the board, led by Kospi (+2.6%), with Taiwan, Hang Seng and Straits Times also in green, reflecting a positive risk tone. On the macro side, Brent crude remains elevated near $103, while bond yields in both US and India are inching higher, which could keep pressure on rate-sensitive segments. Gift Nifty is indicating a mildly positive start (+0.5%), pointing toward a gap-up opening for domestic markets. With Middle East tensions still persisting, oil prices and geopolitical developments remain key variables to watch. For now, sentiment has improved, but sustainability of the move will depend on how global risks evolve.
