Indian equity markets are defying a wave of global weakness, with benchmarks holding their ground as Asian peers suffered sharp declines.
The Nikkei and Korea’s Kospi fell significantly in overnight trading, reflecting broad-based risk-off sentiment across the region.
Despite this external pressure, Indian indices have shown resilience, maintaining stability ahead of the trading session.
GIFT Nifty futures are trading at 24,660, compared with the Nifty future’s previous close of 24,637.
This slight premium points to a flat-to-marginally positive opening for the Nifty 50, suggesting that domestic liquidity and investor sentiment are currently decoupled from the broader Asian downturn.
The divergence highlights a consolidation phase where local factors are outweighing global headwinds.
