Pre-Market Report: GIFT Nifty Signals Gap-Up Opening Amid Global Tech Rally

Global Market Cues

The global market setup remains highly favorable for equities as technology and semiconductor stocks lead a broad-based recovery. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.30% to close at 26,206.89, while the S&P 500 gained 0.81%. The rally was fueled by renewed optimism in AI-driven demand, with companies like AMD (+5.67%), Micron (+4.52%), and Broadcom (+3.20%) posting significant gains.

Asian markets have followed suit this morning, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumping nearly 2% and South Korea’s Kospi rocketing over 3%. In the commodities space, Brent crude prices have eased to approximately $76 per barrel as the United States and Iran continue technical-level talks, calming fears of a major supply disruption in the Middle East.

GIFT Nifty and Domestic Cues
