Global markets play a crucial role in shaping the opening and intraday movements of Indian stock markets. Traders can use global cues to make more informed decisions by closely monitoring key indices such as the Dow Jones, which reflects broad US market sentiment, the NASDAQ 100 for technology sector trends, and the S&P 500 for overall US market health. For instance, when global markets are down—as seen in the current scenario with the Dow Jones falling by 256.02 points (-0.61%), NASDAQ 100 by 196.82 points (-0.93%), and S&P 500 by 39.19 points (-0.67%)—Indian markets are likely to open weak. This creates a favorable setup for bearish strategies or protective positioning. FII (Foreign Institutional Investor) selling pressure may increase, while defensive sectors could outperform. To effectively use global cues, traders should plan pre-market strategies based on overnight performance, adjust sector focus—especially if tech-heavy indices like NASDAQ are weak—and manage risk with appropriate hedging. Additionally, sharp global declines can sometimes present contrarian opportunities. For best results, global cues should always be analyzed alongside domestic indicators like GIFT Nifty and India VIX to ensure a balanced and comprehensive trading approach.
