Indian equity markets opened higher on Monday, with the benchmark Nifty 50 index rising 0.44% and the Sensex adding 360.85 points to trade at 77,163.75.
The positive start reflects a shift in investor sentiment as geopolitical risks appear to ease, providing a reprieve for risk assets after a period of volatility.
The rally was supported by positive signals from the GIFT Nifty futures index, which had indicated a rebound for the broader market ahead of the open.
This forward indicator helped offset the losses seen in the previous session, where the Sensex and Nifty 50 had closed lower on Friday.
Traders are closely monitoring the sustainability of this upward move, particularly as global markets remain sensitive to geopolitical developments.
The initial strength suggests that investors are willing to buy dips, but volume and breadth will be key indicators of whether this rally can extend into the afternoon session.
