Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: GIFT Nifty signals a positive start; Asian shares trade lower

Indian equity markets are set for a positive opening as GIFT Nifty traded higher by 97.5 points or 0.40 percent at 24,589.50, building on Monday's session when the Nifty rose 0.7 percent for a fourth straight session. Analysts see equities poised for a gradual uptrend, supported by robust monsoon rainfall lifting rural demand hopes, renewed FII buying, stable crude oil prices, and a resilient rupee, with focus now turning to the Q1FY27 earnings season. Meanwhile, Asian shares traded lower on tech stock pressure, and shares of RIL, Trent, Titan, Cochin Shipyard, and Nestle India are likely to be in focus in Tuesday's trade.
