Gift Nifty Today: Sensex and Nifty are Set to Open Lower Amid Global Weakness

The benchmark Indian equity indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a weaker note on Tuesday, tracking subdued global cues and overnight losses on Wall Street.

Investor sentiment remained fragile amid renewed uncertainty over US tariff policy and persistent geopolitical tensions.

On Monday, domestic markets had closed firmly higher after risk appetite improved following the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff measures.

The Sensex advanced 479.95 points, or 0.58%, to settle at 83,294.66, while the Nifty 50 climbed 141.75 points, or 0.55%, to end at 25,713.00.
