Indian equity benchmarks are set to open higher on Tuesday, tracking a bullish signal from the Gift Nifty futures index.

The forward indicator suggests a rebound for the Sensex and Nifty 50, which have recently traded within a narrow range while maintaining a positive bias.

Investors are increasingly factoring in the de-escalation of geopolitical tensions, particularly the emerging peace deal between the US and Iran, as a key driver for renewed buying interest.

The shift in sentiment marks a departure from the cautious stance seen in previous sessions, where mixed signals from global markets kept domestic indices range-bound.

With the immediate threat of supply chain disruptions in the Middle East receding, capital flows appear to be stabilizing, supporting a more constructive outlook for Indian equities.

The Gift Nifty’s movement indicates that institutional players are positioning for a gap-up opening, betting on sustained momentum in the broader market.
