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: 7,882.75 (+0.11%) — higher at the time of writing
- USD / INR: 96.78 (+0.45%)
About this report
Every figure on this page is read from a primary source at the timestamp shown — exchange boards for equities and indices, the exchange bid book for IPOs, published association rates for bullion, and consolidated exchange quotes for crypto — with no estimation or third-party commentary. Historical fields such as trailing returns and 52-week extremes are computed on the adjusted daily series so splits and bonuses do not create false gaps. A timestamp outside market hours reflects the last traded or last published value, not a live tick.
