Indian equity benchmarks are set to open higher on Wednesday, aiming to break a five-session losing streak that has weighed on investor sentiment.
The positive outlook is supported by upbeat global market cues and a notable decline in crude oil prices, which have helped ease input cost pressures for domestic industries.
The Gift Nifty, a key indicator of overseas sentiment toward Indian equities, also trended upward, signaling a likely gap-up start for the main indices.
The Sensex closed lower at 78,428.95 on the previous session, while the Nifty 50 ended at 24,614.90, reflecting the persistent selling pressure that has characterized recent trading.
However, the shift in global risk appetite and the softening energy complex provide a fresh catalyst for buyers to step in.
This development follows a period of volatility where geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainties had driven investors toward safer assets, extending the downturn across multiple sessions.
