GIFT Nifty was indicating a stronger opening for India’s Nifty 50 on Friday, October 23, even as Asian markets traded lower in early deals, according to Business Standard’s live-market coverage.
Pre-market indicators can provide a sense of sentiment before the Indian exchanges open, but they do not guarantee the direction of the cash market. Prices can shift quickly as global technology shares, crude oil, currency movements, company earnings and institutional flows change.
Stocks in focus
The session’s watchlist included companies across technology, consumer internet, energy, pharmaceuticals and industrials, including eMudhra, Infosys, Swiggy, HPCL, Havells, Sun Pharma and Jindal Stainless. Being on a watchlist does not imply a buy or sell recommendation; investors should review company announcements and exchange disclosures before acting.
Intraday market levels and company-specific news can change after publication. Readers should use the live exchange feed for current prices and treat this report as a time-stamped market update, not personalised investment advice.
