How to use a pre-market read
GIFT Nifty trades ahead of the cash market and is the closest available proxy for the opening level, but it is a cue and not a guarantee — a gap open often fills within the first hour when volume does not confirm it. Overnight US closes drive IT and metal counters, crude drives oil marketers and paints, and the rupee sets the tone for exporters. Wait for the first 15 minutes of price discovery before acting on a gap.
Key takeaways
- GIFT Nifty: 7,783.50 (+0.67%) — higher at the time of writing
- USD / INR: 96.30 (+0.33%)
