Indian markets are set for a strong start today, with GIFT Nifty futures rising 130 points, signaling positive momentum. The upbeat sentiment follows global market cues and investor optimism around earnings season, with several key stocks in focus.
GIFT Nifty Hints at Green Start
The GIFT Nifty, traded on the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) platform, often provides early clues about the direction of Indian markets. With a 130-point jump this morning, traders are expecting a bullish opening on Dalal Street.
This upswing comes on the back of stable global cues, easing crude oil prices, and continued foreign investor interest in Indian equities. Investors will also keep an eye on U.S. economic data, which could influence short-term market direction.
Axis Bank, Tech Mahindra in Spotlight
Among today’s top stocks to watch are Axis Bank and Tech Mahindra, both expected to announce their quarterly earnings. Market participants are keen to see how Axis Bank has managed its margins and loan growth, especially with rising interest rates.
For Tech Mahindra, investors are awaiting updates on its turnaround strategy and digital business growth amid ongoing headwinds in the IT sector. The company’s performance could impact overall sentiment for the IT index.
RITES and Cyient Also on Radar
RITES Ltd. and Cyient are also likely to see active trading today. Both firms recently reported earnings, and early reactions suggest positive sentiment around their performance and order pipelines. RITES’ steady government contracts and Cyient’s strong positioning in the engineering services sector are expected to drive short-term interest.
What Investors Should Watch Today
- Earnings Announcements: More companies are set to report their Q4 results, which will influence stock-specific moves.
- Global Markets: U.S. and Asian market performance overnight may guide investor behavior.
- Sector Watch: Banking, IT, and capital goods stocks could lead the day’s gains.
Final Thoughts
With GIFT Nifty pointing to a gap-up opening and several heavyweight stocks in focus, today could bring strong market action. However, investors should stay cautious around earnings volatility and global news that could impact sentiment.
