Gift Nifty Signals Mildly Positive Start For The Indian Stock Market Today

Mumbai, October 27, 2025: The Indian stock market and all the included indices are expected to open on a marginally positive note today, on October 27. The mildly positive start is indicated by Gift Nifty, which is marginally up by 0.24%, or points, and is currently trading at 25,949.50. Until now, the index has traded between a range of 25,995.50 and 25,882.

Sensex and Nifty Ended Lower

On Friday, both the major indices, Sensex and Nifty, ended the week in the red. Sensex closed 344.52 points (0.41%) lower at 84,211.88, while the Nifty 50 fell 96.25 points (0.37%) to 25,795.15. The indices and the overall stock market were dragged by profit booking in stocks and the cautious tone of investors following fresh US sanctions on Russian oil producers. However, despite the decline, both indices are hovering close to their 52-week high.

FIIs Net Buyers While DIIs Provide Support

On Friday, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers and bought Indian equities worth ₹621 crore. They were supported by Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) who bought Indian equities worth ₹173 crore on the same day.

US Markets Record Strong Weekly Gains While Asian Markets Rise

US markets record strong weekly gains, led by S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Asian markets are trading higher in their early market session today, as a potential US-China trade agreement is boosting investor sentiment. Oil prices are trading higher as global sentiment has improved, while the US dollar index has also jumped against the Yen, as investors are optimistic about the upcoming global key meetings.

Mildly Positive Start Expected Today

As indicated by Gift Nifty, and with strong global signals, the Indian stock market is expected to start on a positive note. If all goes well, and no intraday factors negatively affect the overall sentiment, key indices are expected to perform well. Investors will be keenly watching how the US-China trade agreement and the US sanctions on Russian oil producers pan out today.

In summary, with global cues supportive and both foreign and domestic inflows remaining positive, GIFT Nifty suggests a cautious yet constructive opening for Indian markets at the start of the week.
