Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian equity markets opened higher on Thursday, with both benchmark indices extending gains for the third consecutive session amid cautious trading ahead of the Union Budget 2025.
The Sensex opened higher at 76,888.89 compared to its previous close of 76,759.81 and is currently trading at 77,006.86, up by 247.05 points or 0.32 per cent. Similarly, the Nifty opened at 23,296.75 against its previous close of 23,249.50 and is now at 23,350.60, gaining 101.10 points or 0.43 per cent.
Market sentiment was bolstered by strong global cues, as US markets closed higher following robust earnings from Tesla and IBM. However, concerns emerged after US President Donald Trump’s plans to potentially impose 25 per cent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports, driving gold prices to a record high of $2,799 per ounce.
