US stock market to Nikkei: Here’s world equity heatmap you should know before the Indian stock market opens

Indian stock markets are expected to open on a muted note, with Gift Nifty trading around the 24,333 level, about 19 points below the previous close of Nifty futures. Easing US-Iran tensions and a sharp drop in crude oil prices improved risk sentiment globally, while mixed Asian cues and a stronger dollar capped gains. Technically, Nifty 50 faces immediate resistance at 24,400, with support at 24,200 followed by the 24,000 mark; RSI near 61 indicates strengthening momentum.
