About Gift Nifty

GIFT NIFTY (formerly SGX Nifty) from NSE IX provides an offshore platform for trading Nifty index futures. Its performance often reflects how the Indian market might open, making it a useful tool for global traders and investors to gauge sentiment.

Since Gift Nifty futures trade in an extended time window, it allows market participants to react to international economic data releases, geopolitical events, and corporate news outside the Indian market hours. This provides a near round-the-clock glimpse into how the Nifty 50 might move once the domestic exchanges resume trading.

Key reasons to follow Gift Nifty include:

• Early Market Indication: Offers insights into Nifty's likely direction even before NSE trading begins.
• Hedging Opportunities: Allows fund managers and traders to manage their exposure to Indian equities at almost any time.
• Global Accessibility: Facilitates international investors to participate in the Indian market framework from anywhere in the world.
