The GIFT Nifty opened lower, indicating a cautious start for Indian markets as US Treasury yields hovered near 5%. Higher US yields raise the cost of capital for Indian companies and can pull foreign inflows toward safer assets.
For investors, this means the broader Sensex and Nifty may see limited upside until the yield trajectory clarifies. A strong US yield environment often pressures Indian equities, especially those with high debt or heavy reliance on foreign funding.
Traders will be watching upcoming domestic data such as inflation and GDP, RBI policy cues, and any shift in US yield expectations after the Fed’s next meeting. Corporate earnings releases later in the week could also provide direction.
