The Indian stock markets opened on a positive note on Tuesday, continuing their upward momentum from the previous session. At the opening bell, the BSE Sensex rose by 173.32 points, or 0.21 per cent, to trade at 82,373.66. Similarly, the NSE Nifty50 gained 64.05 points, or 0.26 per cent, to begin the day at 25,154.75. The upbeat start reflects sustained investor confidence amid favorable market cues. Around 1,423 stocks advanced, 690 declined, while 154 remained unchanged in early trade.

Among the top gainers on the Nifty were Bajaj Finance, Trent, ICICI Bank, Tata Steel, and Hindalco. On the other hand, Reliance Industries, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Consumer, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Tata Motors featured among the major losers.

The broader markets showed a mixed trend, with the Nifty Midcap 100 index trading near the flatline, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 outperformed the benchmarks, rising by 0.6 per cent.

Global Markets

Overnight, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs, driven by gains in Alphabet and other megacap stocks ahead of a busy week of corporate earnings. Investor sentiment was also buoyed by hopes that potential trade agreements could help offset the economic impact of the Trump administration's global tariffs.

The S&P 500 edged up 0.14 per cent to close at 6,305.60, while the Nasdaq advanced 0.38 per cent to finish at 20,974.18. In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped slightly by 0.04 per cent to settle at 44,323.07.

In Asia, markets opened with modest gains. Japanese equities led the region’s rally, rebounding after Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced he would remain in office despite the ruling coalition’s loss of majority in the upper house election.
