Summary: The Sensex and Nifty open higher as optimism about US-India trade talks boosts market enthusiasm in early trading.

This morning, Indian markets opened on a high note, with both the Sensex and Nifty gaining slightly. Investors seemed encouraged by signs that trade talks between India and the U.S. may finally be making progress, providing the market a welcome boost.

At the opening bell, the Nifty 50 rose nearly 0.5%, and the Sensex also followed suit, climbing about the same. All major sectors were in the green early on, with small-caps and mid-caps rallying alongside the larger names.

In addition to the optimism surrounding trade, positive changes in policy developments, both at home and abroad, are enhancing confidence. Traders are keeping an eye on inflation data, upcoming interest rate decisions, and other changes that could impact the economy.

The caution still lingers. Political and geopolitical uncertainty, particularly foreign tariff pressures, continue to weigh heavily on the mood. But for now, markets appear willing to lean into the good news, with many hoping for momentum to carry through the rest of the day.
