Stock Market LIVE: GIFT Nifty signals higher open; Asia mkts mixed; Bessent to declare Iran sanction

The GIFT Nifty is signalling a higher open for the Nifty50. According to Business Standard IN, investors are awaiting US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's announcement of Iran sanctions, although Hindu BusinessLine reports that Indian stocks may open on a weak note due to mixed global market signals.

Hindu BusinessLine also notes that crude oil prices remain firm, with WTI trading near $86 a barrel, as markets prepare for fresh US sanctions against Iran. The market is expected to be volatile due to persistent tensions in West Asia and elevated crude oil prices.

Asian markets are mixed, with the Indonesia stock market having moved higher in two straight sessions, advancing more than 130 points or 2 percent, and now resting just above the 6,525-point plateau, as reported by Nasdaq Markets.
