Investor Takeaway
Indian-Share-Tips.com Nifty Expert Gulshan Khera, CFP®, who is also a SEBI Regd Investment Adviser, observes that while GIFT Nifty points to a subdued opening, the broader market focus remains on global liquidity, AI-led capital expenditure and crude oil developments. Any stability in oil prices could help Indian equities absorb short-term global volatility.
The immediate market tone remains cautious, but sustained FII inflows and continued earnings momentum could help support Indian equities despite mixed global cues.
