Indian equity markets are poised for a lower start on Wednesday, mirroring weak global sentiment and a continued sell-off in global equities. Investor sentiment remains cautious ahead of further clarity on US-India trade negotiations.
At 8:30 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading at 24,965.6, down 46.5 points, hinting at a tepid start for benchmark indices.
Asian markets opened in the red, reflecting losses from the US session. South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.72 per cent, and Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 1.52 per cent, as traders reacted to Japan’s latest trade data and anticipated China’s loan prime rate decision.
Overnight, US markets ended mixed with a negative bias. The S&P 500 lost 0.59 per cent, Nasdaq fell 1.46 pe cent, dragged by tech shares, while the Dow Jones closed flat.
