Indian stock markets are poised for a negative opening on November 5, 2024, as indicated by the GIFT Nifty, which is trading at a discount of nearly 50 points from the Nifty Futures close. The GIFT Nifty was recorded at approximately 24,314 points, suggesting a gap-down start for the Sensex and Nifty indices. The Nifty had previously closed in the green for the week, up 0.5%, but recent trading signals indicate a weak short-term trend. On this trading day, the Sensex and Nifty are expected to open below the 24,000 mark, with all sectors trending downwards except for metals. Key stocks to watch include IRFC and Airtel, as market participants remain attentive to global cues and the ongoing U.S. elections.
