Gift Nifty Today: Indian Markets Likely to Open Lower Amid Global Tech Sell-Off

On Friday, Nov 7, 2025, India’s equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are set to open lower due to weakness across global markets. A broad sell-off in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) stocks has dampened investor sentiment worldwide.

Asian markets were trading in the red, following an overnight decline on Wall Street as concerns over elevated valuations triggered profit-booking in tech counters.

On Thursday, Nov 7, 2025, Indian equities ended a volatile session marginally lower, marking their second straight day of losses. The Sensex slipped 148.14 points (0.18%) to close at 83,311.01, while the Nifty 50 fell 87.95 points (0.34%) to settle at 25,509.70.

The Gift Nifty was trading near 25,498, about 129 points below the previous close of Nifty futures, hinting at a gap-down opening for domestic benchmarks.
