Nifty 50 poised for positive open as Gift Nifty signals 142-point premium

Each morning, before the bells of Mumbai's exchanges ring, a quieter signal arrives from Singapore — a futures contract called Gift Nifty that carries the overnight mood of global capital. On May 4th, that signal arrived at 24,240, some 142 points above where Indian futures had last rested, suggesting that the world's money was leaning, however modestly, toward optimism. In markets as in life, confidence is not merely a feeling but a collective act — thousands of small bets, each one a vote on what tomorrow holds.
