The global and domestic financial landscape saw a series of significant developments overnight that are set to influence market sentiment today. From Gift Nifty cues and Wall Street highs to India-US trade talks and the Apple Event, here are the 8 key updates investors need to know before Wednesday’s opening bell.

Gift Nifty Signals Positive Opening

Gift Nifty was trading around the 25,002 level, a premium of nearly 52 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close. This indicates a positive start for the Indian stock market indices. Analysts suggest that the performance of banking and IT majors will remain crucial for further market direction.

Indian Market Recap

On Tuesday, domestic equities closed higher, led by IT stocks. The Sensex gained 314.02 points, or 0.39%, to close at 81,101.32, while the Nifty 50 rose 95.45 points, or 0.39%, to end at 24,868.60. Experts recommend a “buy on dips” strategy in leading sectors, with a close watch on risk-reward balance.

Asian Market Update

Asian markets traded higher on Wednesday after China’s inflation data release. Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 0.5%, South Korea’s Kospi surged 1.31%, and the Kosdaq rose 0.71%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng futures also pointed to a positive open. However, China’s CPI slipped 0.4% year-on-year in August, while PPI narrowed its decline to 2.9%.

Wall Street Hits Record Highs

US markets rallied strongly, with all three major Wall Street indices closing at record highs. The Dow Jones rose 0.43% to 45,711.34, the S&P 500 gained 0.27% to 6,512.61, and the Nasdaq climbed 0.37% to 21,879.49, marking its second consecutive record high close.

Stock-Specific Highlights

Among US stocks, Apple shares dipped 1.48%, while Nvidia climbed 1.46%. Amazon rose 1.02%, Tesla added 0.16%, but Broadcom dropped 2.6%. Meanwhile, Nebius surged nearly 50% and CoreWeave gained 7%. Fox Corp fell 6.7%, News Corp dropped 4.5%, and Albemarle slumped 11.5%. Notably, Oracle shares skyrocketed 28.35% in extended trade after strong Q1 results.

India-US Trade Talks

US President Donald Trump confirmed that talks with India are ongoing to resolve trade barriers. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said he looks forward to speaking with Prime Minister Modi soon and expressed confidence in reaching a mutually beneficial deal.

Apple Event 2025

At its much-anticipated “Awe Dropping” Event, Apple unveiled the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 3, and Apple Watch Series 11. The products will be available from September 19 across 50+ regions including India, the US, the UK, and the EU.

Crude Oil Prices Edge Higher

Oil prices advanced after Israel’s attack on Hamas leadership in Qatar. Brent crude rose 0.63% to $66.81 per barrel, while WTI gained 0.73% to $63.09 a barrel.

Outlook

With positive global cues, Gift Nifty premium, and strong Wall Street performance, Indian equities are likely to open on a higher note today. However, investors should remain cautious, keeping an eye on geopolitical developments, crude oil movement, and sectoral performance.
