Gift Nifty Falls 14 pts on Dec 1, 2025: How Is the Indian Stock Market Likely to Open Today?

Benchmark indices Nifty50 and Sensex are likely to be guided by India’s November Manufacturing PMI final data, monthly auto sales numbers, and mixed global cues.

 At around 8:10 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were quoting 26,520, signalling a muted opening for domestic equities.

Global Market Cues

Asia-Pacific markets traded mostly lower on Monday as investors digested fresh Chinese manufacturing data and continued to price in a potential US Federal Reserve rate cut later this month.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, there is now an 87.4% probability of a rate cut at the Fed’s December 10 meeting.

China’s factory activity unexpectedly contracted in November, with the RatingDog China General Manufacturing PMI by S&P Global falling to 49.9, below expectations of 50.5, as domestic demand remained weak.
