Stock Market News Today Live Updates: GIFT Nifty Indicates Gap-Up Open; Kospi Hits Record High As Asian Stocks Gain Amid Tariff Jitters

The GIFT Nifty, a key indicator for the Indian stock market, has shown a positive trend, indicating a likely gap-up opening for Indian equities with a reading of 25,700. This follows a buoyant performance in Asian markets, where the South Korean Kospi index reached a record high, reflecting overall investor optimism despite ongoing tariff-related uncertainties. As global markets react to trade tensions, Indian investors are keenly watching these developments, especially with the GIFT Nifty serving as a barometer for the Nifty 50's performance. This surge in Asian stocks underlines a broader recovery in the region, which could have significant implications for the Indian market as it opens for trading today.
