Sensex Today | Stock Market Live Updates: GIFT Nifty hints at 200-point gap-down after Trump's speech
Published on 02/04/2026 06:52 AM
GIFTNifty lower, now indicating a gap-down start for the Indian market, trading at a discount of over 250 points after Trump’s address to the nation (US) on West Asia War, says will hit Iran ‘very hard’ for next 2-3 weeks
The Dow Futures is trading lower, falling to 22 points.
The NIfty implied open is indicating a volatile start as Donald Trump continues his speech
In anticipation of US President Donald Trump’s speech to the country in a few minutes, benchmark indices on Wall Street increased on Wednesday, April 1, as the relief rally persisted due to expectations that the Iran war would soon cease.
Not only have negative wagers drawn record amounts of money, but bullish funds have as well. The United States Brent Oil Fund (BNO) witnessed flows of a record $600 million in March, while the United States Oil Fund (USO) experienced flows of about $700 million, the most since the epidemic.
US President Donald Trump’s address to the nation begins at 6:30 AM IST.
That incidentally, is also the time when we first begin to get ticks for the GIFT Nifty.
The next 60 minutes could well determine how the day shapes up on Dalal Street.
As we teased in the previous post, the initial stock market reaction will depend on two very important factors.
One, what Donald Trump says in his address to the nation and
Two, how crude oil prices react after Trump’s remarks.
Rising oil prices have been the biggest factor behind the sell-off seen in Indian equities in March.
Not only is today the final trading day of yet another truncated week, but today is also the weekly expiry of the Sensex contracts.
The initial reaction though, will hinge on two very very important factors.
Details in the next post.
