Indian equity markets are signaling a positive opening on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with GIFT Nifty futures indicating a gap-up. The NSE International Exchange saw GIFT Nifty futures down 304.30 points, or 1.21 percent, at 25,337.50, suggesting an upbeat start for the domestic market. This optimistic outlook is attributed to a moderation in crude oil prices and a revival of foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows into Indian equities.
