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

Indian markets are set for a positive Thursday open, with GIFT Nifty trading higher by 107 points (0.45%) at 23,985, even as Wednesday saw the sharpest single-day selloff in over two months. The Nifty tumbled 2.1% to close at 23,882, breaching the crucial 24,000-24,150 support zone, as escalating Middle East tensions after US President Trump's remarks on Iran, soaring crude oil prices, and weak global cues triggered broad-based selling. Asian shares rose tracking chipmakers, while oil extended its rally following a second consecutive day of US strikes on Iran.
