The Nifty 50 and Sensex each rose more than 1% on Thursday on strong results and the US Federal Reserve holding rates steady. Brent crude rose 2.2% to $117.4 a barrel after reported attacks on Saudi facilities, which may cap gains. This article is educational and does not forecast the market.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The phrase Indian shares open higher hides a messy picture. Some reports said the GIFT Nifty pointed to a higher start, while others said it signalled a muted or lower open. This article explains why the two readings differ, what drove Thursday&#8217;s rebound, what oil and global markets mean for Friday, and which levels and events to track.<\/p>\n<p>Three flags. First, the GIFT Nifty quotes differ by time and by baseline, so the same morning produced a higher-open reading and a lower-open reading. Second, the Reuters report on which this headline is based gives no earnings figures. Third, the opening print, which shows whether Indian shares open higher in practice, was not available at the time of writing, so check the live feed for the actual start.<\/p>\n<p

Analysts linked the earnings-led rebound to strong quarterly results, the Fed&#8217;s decision to hold rates, hopes of US-Iran peace talks and an upward revision to the FY27 Q2 GDP estimate. Even so, the Nifty 50 remains about 13% below its 52-week high, so a one-day bounce does not erase the year&#8217;s decline.<\/p>\n<p>October is also turning. The Nifty 50 is up about 1.4% and the Sensex about 2.3% for the month, which puts the market on course to snap a two-month selling streak. If Indian shares open higher and hold, that streak would end with a positive October.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Higher_Oil_May_Cap_Gains_When_Indian_Shares_Open_Higher\"><\/span><strong>Higher Oil May Cap Gains When Indian Shares Open Higher<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Brent crude futures rose 2.2% to $117.4 a barrel after Yemen&#8217;s Houthis said they attacked Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Ras Tanura refinery and airports, according to Reuters. A live blog put the December Brent contract at 113.28, up 2.24%, on fears of further US military action against Iran. The levels differ by contract and time, but the direction is the same.<\/p>\n<p>India imports most of its crude, so higher oil raises the import bill, pressures the rupee and feeds inflation. That is why oil is the main brake whenever Indian shares open higher. A day of rising crude can turn an early gain into a flat or negative close, especially for oil marketing companies, airlines and paint makers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&#038;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to get stock updates and screeners in one place.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Cues_Behind_Indian_Shares_Open_Higher\"><\/span><strong>Global Cues Behind Indian Shares Open Higher<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Indian shares open higher: global cue<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Move<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nasdaq Composite (Thursday)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Down about 1.38%, hit by Alphabet&#8217;s AI-related cash burn and weak Intel earnings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">S&#038;P 500 and Dow (Thursday)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Down about 0.35% and 0.25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nasdaq 100 futures (Asia session)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Down about 2.33% in one reading<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Down about 2% to 3%, ahead of the Bank of Japan decision<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">South Korea&#8217;s Kospi<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Down about 5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Up more than 1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Bitcoin<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Down about 2% to $77,646, a two-month low, after Binance froze $3 billion in assets following a security breach<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Global markets were weaker than the signal that Indian shares open higher suggests.

Other morning readings showed GIFT Nifty down 15 to 60 points from its own previous close, so the answer depends on the baseline. Check the live opening print.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_reports_differ_on_whether_Indian_shares_open_higher_or_lower\"><\/span><strong>Why do reports differ on whether Indian shares open higher or lower?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> GIFT Nifty futures trade at a premium to the spot Nifty 50. A futures level can be above the spot close, which suggests a higher open, and still be below the futures&#8217; own previous close, which suggests a lower open. The time of the reading also matters, which is why reports on whether Indian shares open higher can differ.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_drove_Thursdays_rebound_in_the_Nifty_50_and_Sensex\"><\/span><strong>What drove Thursday&#8217;s rebound in the Nifty 50 and Sensex?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Both indices rose more than 1% on strong quarterly results, the Fed holding rates steady, hopes of US-Iran peace talks and an upward revision to the FY27 Q2 GDP estimate.
