As Thursday's trading session approaches in Mumbai, the overnight futures market is sending a quiet but directional message: sentiment has tilted bearish. Gift Nifty, the Singapore-listed contract that serves as a pre-dawn mirror for India's benchmark indices, was trading 86 points below its previous close — a modest but meaningful signal that sellers, for now, hold the early advantage. Markets, like tides, rarely announce their turning points loudly; they whisper first in the overnight hours, and those who listen closely adjust their footing before the bell rings.
