Asian equity markets opened in the green on Tuesday, building on the previous session’s momentum. However, consolidation was seen at higher levels as investors awaited fresh triggers from macroeconomic indicators and corporate earnings.

In the domestic context, GIFT Nifty futures were trading at 23,281, up 363 points or 1.58%, indicating a gap-up opening for Indian benchmark indices. The strong uptick suggests positive early sentiment despite global uncertainty.

Globally, U.S. stock index futures slipped, reflecting investor nervousness over potential fallout from President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and the uncertainty surrounding further exemptions. The lack of clarity continues to weigh on global market sentiment.

Sectors to watch today:

  • Capital Goods

  • Construction

  • Selective Financials

  • Energy

Traders will closely monitor both global signals and domestic earnings as they seek direction in an otherwise cautious market environment.
