Gift Nifty indicates a positive start for the Indian market; US Market ended higher for the fourth day; Asian stocks also opened higher

PRE MARKET

Gift Nifty indicates a positive start for the broader index in India, with a gain of 4 points or 0.16 percent. The Nifty futures were trading around the 26,430.50 level.

Wall Street extended its rally on Wednesday as revived tech strength, and the increasing probability of a December interest rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve put investors in a buying mood the day before the Thanksgiving holiday.

All three major U.S. stock indexes notched their fourth consecutive daily gains, as investors looked past the worries over inflated tech valuations that dragged all three to losses last week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 314.67 points, or 0.67%, to 47,427.12, the S&P 500 gained 46.73 points, or 0.69%, to 6,812.61, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 189.10 points, or 0.82%, to 23,214.69.

Asian shares followed Wall Street higher as a global equities rally extended, fueled by rising expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.

Japan’s Nikkei, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, and the Taiwanese weighted went up +1.29, +0.36, and +0.56 percent, respectively.
