Indian Markets Poised for Positive Open Amid Key Earnings Reports

Indian equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are anticipated to witness a positive opening on Thursday, November 6, 2025, buoyed by a rally in global markets. GIFT Nifty futures showed a slight gain ahead of the opening. Asian markets traded higher, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng, Japan's Nikkei, and South Korea's Kospi all posting gains. The positive sentiment was reinforced by Wall Street's overnight gains, which were partly driven by hopes that the U.S. Supreme Court's scrutiny of President Donald Trump's tariffs might lead to their easing.
