Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: GIFT Nifty signals a gap-up start; Asian shares trade higher

Indian markets are set for a gap-up opening on Monday, with GIFT Nifty trading 265 points (1.12%) higher at 23,960. The optimism follows Friday's strong rally where Sensex and Nifty surged nearly 2%, their biggest single-day gain in two months, driven by a potential US-Iran peace deal that pushed Brent crude below $90/barrel (down over 5%). Investors will also track domestic macroeconomic data releases and RBI measures aimed at encouraging foreign currency inflows, while Dr Reddy's, Adani Green, KIMS, JSW Energy, and Nestlé India are expected to be in focus.
