Stock market today: Gift Nifty hints a gap-up start; seven day trading stocks to buy on Monday, 3 August
The Indian stock market is expected to open positively on August 3, with the Gift Nifty indicating a gap-up start at 24,589.5, a 137-point premium over the previous close. This optimism follows a three-day gain in domestic markets, with the BSE Sensex rising 166.49 points to 78,094.64 and the Nifty 50 gaining 66.45 points to 24,383.60. The positive sentiment is bolstered by declining crude oil prices after US President Donald Trump announced fresh negotiations with Iran, raising hopes for a diplomatic resolution.
