Session snapshot

- • NIFTY 50 is trading higher at 23,477.8 (+0.20%).
- • Breadth in the large-cap universe: 22 advancing vs 28 declining, a negative bias.

What to watch
- • GIFT Nifty trades nearly 21 hours a day, so it prices in overnight US and Asian moves before Indian cash markets open.
- • A GIFT Nifty premium or discount to Nifty spot is the market's expectation for the opening gap, not a guarantee.
- • US index futures, the dollar index, crude oil and USD/INR are the cues that usually explain that gap.
