Indian Stock Market Outlook: Sensex and Nifty Tumble Amid Negative GIFT Nifty Signal

Indian equities closed higher on Friday, with the Sensex and Nifty posting a decisive climb after Infosys' strong earnings revived risk appetite and lifted heavyweight IT stocks. The rally drove both benchmarks to fresh intraday highs, reversing recent caution and lending a bullish undertone to the session. However, GIFT Nifty signals a negative start on Monday, trading lower by 167 points, or 0.65 per cent, at 25,571.50.
