Indian Stock Markets Expected to Open Higher Amid Global Caution and Domestic Data
On November 2, 2026, Indian stock markets are expected to open higher, with the GIFT Nifty indicating gains of around 170-195 points amid easing US-Iran tensions and mixed Asian market performance. Investors remain cautious due to elevated crude oil prices and upcoming domestic factors such as auto sales data, Q2 corporate earnings, and IPO activity. While global markets showed declines, sectors like IT and pharma led recent gains, supporting a positive start for the Sensex and Nifty indices.
