Nifty Starts in the Green: Index Up 0.17% in Pre-Open as Market Sentiment Firms

The Nifty 50 index began Friday’s pre-open session on a firm note, rising 0.17% as sentiment improved across Asian markets and investor confidence remained supported by robust domestic earnings. According to NSE pre-open data, the benchmark was trading around 25,929.7, led by strong momentum in information technology, banking, and energy stocks.

Top gainers in the pre-open session included Infosys, TCS, HCLTech, and Axis Bank, while defensive counters like Hindustan Unilever and NTPC also held ground. Market analysts noted that sustained foreign institutional participation and lower crude prices are offering stability ahead of global economic data releases.

The index is expected to continue its upward bias as long as it sustains above the 25,700 support zone, with potential resistance around 26,000–26,100 levels based on recent market trends.
