Share Market LIVE Updates:Fresh hostilities in the Gulf have once again rattled investor sentiment, pushing crude oil prices higher and weighing on Asian markets. The weak start was already signalled by GIFT Nifty, which indicated a lower gap opening for Indian equities. Reflecting the negative global cues, the Sensex opened 304 points lower on Wednesday, while the Nifty also began the session in the red.
Why Share Market is Falling Today
GIFT Nifty signals weak start
GIFT Nifty traded around 60 to 70 points lower in early trade and hovered in the 24,280 to 24,316 range. This pointed to a negative to flat opening for the Nifty 50. The early signal suggested investors were likely to remain cautious at the start of trading. While GIFT Nifty does not always predict how markets will perform through the day, it offers an early indication of sentiment before Indian exchanges open.
US markets ended lower overnight after heavy selling in technology and semiconductor stocks. The decline dragged the Nasdaq lower and weakened global market sentiment. Asian markets also remained under pressure as investors reacted to the weak US close. Market participants will continue to watch overseas developments because global cues often influence early trade in Indian equities.
Crude oil stays in focus
Brent crude was trading near USD 72.29 per barrel. Prices have stabilised slightly, but traders continue to monitor developments in West Asia along with supply and demand trends. Higher crude prices can increase India’s import bill and add pressure on inflation. Any sharp move in oil prices or fresh geopolitical developments could influence market sentiment during the session.
Top Gainers Today
Sun Pharma emerged as the top gainer, rising 1.02 per cent to trade at 1,922.40 at BSE. The stock also touched a fresh 52 week high during the session. It was followed by major IT stocks, with HCLTech gaining 0.55 per cent to 1,174.95, Infosys advancing 0.18 per cent to 1,073.60 and TCS adding 0.13 per cent to trade at 2,098.65. TCS was also in focus ahead of its quarterly results.
