Stock Market Today LIVE: GIFT Nifty signals muted start for Sensex, Nifty; Crude at $105
IndiaIPO 2 hrs ago·15 Oct 2026, 2:32 am
Global markets are showing signs of caution ahead of the Indian trading session. GIFT Nifty, the pre-opening indicator for the Nifty 50, is pointing to a muted start for both the Sensex and Nifty. This suggests investors may be waiting for more clarity on global economic conditions before making fresh moves.
The current sentiment is being influenced by the price of crude oil, which is hovering around the $105 per barrel mark. Higher oil prices can increase the cost of doing business for companies, potentially squeezing their profit margins. This could weigh on the performance of oil marketing companies and other sectors that are heavily dependent on energy costs.
Investors should keep an eye on the opening trades for key sectoral indices. A lack of directional movement could indicate a consolidation phase. Monitoring global cues and domestic economic data will be crucial for understanding the market's next move.
