Nifty 50 Today April 4: Global Cues & Stock Market Trends

Global market cues play a pivotal role in shaping the stock market today, making it essential for traders to stay updated on key indicators before the opening bell. Factors such as the performance of major global indices like Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and Asian markets, fluctuations in crude oil prices, changes in bond yields, and Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) activity play a significant role in shaping the day's market sentiment.
For Indian markets, Gift Nifty serves as an early indicator of how Nifty 50 may open, providing traders with crucial insights into market trends before the official opening. Tracking these trends helps investors and traders make informed intraday, BTST (Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow), and swing trading decisions. Another important metric is the Nifty PCR (Put-Call Ratio) and Bank Nifty PCR, which help assess market sentiment and possible reversals.
