Indian equity markets are poised for a firm start on Tuesday, with Gift Nifty futures trading 62.70 points higher at 25,244.50, indicating early optimism on Dalal Street. The gains come on the back of upbeat global sentiment, supported by advances in Asian equities and steady cues from Wall Street overnight.
In Asia, key indices traded in the green with Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s KOSPI rising close to 1%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng also posted modest gains in early trade. The positive momentum is expected to extend gains in Indian benchmarks, after a strong start to the week on Monday.
Investors will be closely watching critical macroeconomic cues later this week. The US retail inflation data for May, scheduled for release on Wednesday, will set the tone for global risk sentiment. Domestically, India’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) print for May will be announced on Thursday and could influence rate expectations going forward.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 ended Monday's session marginally higher, up 0.09% at 6,005.88, while the Nasdaq gained 0.31% to close at 19,591.24. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished flat at 42,761.76 as investors monitored ongoing trade negotiations between the US and China.
In commodities, Brent crude futures edged up 0.24% to $67.20 per barrel, while WTI rose 0.25% to $65.45—touching a two-month high during the session. Spot gold slipped 0.5% to $3,310.40 an ounce.
The dollar index held steady at 98.986 after Monday’s dip, as markets remained cautious amid geopolitical uncertainty. Bitcoin, meanwhile, surged nearly 4%, trading around $110,000, reflecting a renewed risk appetite among crypto investors.
