MARKET COMMENTARY

Apr-02-2026 08:42

Indian equity benchmarks are expected to open on a weak note on April 2, tracking subdued cues from GIFT Nifty, which was trading lower around the 22,426 mark.

In the previous session, the market snapped its two-day losing streak and ended the first day of the new series on a strong footing, supported by easing concerns over geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran.

On Wednesday, the 30-share benchmark index ended at 73134.32 up by 1186.77 points or by 1.65 % and then NSE Nifty was at 22679.4 up by 348 points or by 1.56 %.

On the global front, Asia-Pacific markets erased early gains after Trump said that the US would hit Iran hard in the next two to three weeks, which poured water on hopes of an early ceasefire in the Middle East.

Trump also said that the discussion is on with Tehran, and the war may not last long. The mixed messages further unnerved traders.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 and South Korea’s Kospi were trading 1.33 per cent and 2.61 per cent down, respectively. Overnight, the US share indices settled with gains as investors were hoping that the war involving the US, Israel, and Iran might end soon. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.72 per cent and 0.48 per cent higher, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite ended 1.16 per cent higher.
