Sensex and Nifty both opened and traded higher, reflecting positive market sentiment with modest gains of 0.19% and 0.17%, respectively, signaling cautious optimism among investors today.

The U.S. stock market showed strong gains on Monday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching all-time closing highs. This boost came mainly due to optimism around artificial intelligence (AI) dealmaking, which has investors feeling confident despite the ongoing U.S. government shutdown that has lasted six days.

The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.71%, closing at 22,941.67 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.36% to finish at 6,740.28. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped slightly by 0.14%, ending the day at 46,694.97.

Globally, the Nikkei index in Japan hit a fresh record high, driven by a rally in tech stocks following a major partnership between OpenAI and chipmaker AMD.

AMD’s shares soared 24% as this deal challenges Nvidia’s dominance in the AI chip market. Other U.S. indexes also saw positive momentum, with the Russell 2000 small-cap index crossing 2,500 for the first time, marking another record.

In other news, President Trump announced a 25% tariff on medium and heavy-duty truck imports, effective November 1. European markets closed mixed amid political uncertainty in France. U.S. Treasury yields edged higher, with the 10-year bond yield topping 4.16%.

The dollar index increased by 0.4%, reaching 98.11. Oil prices rose over 1% after a smaller-than-expected supply hike from OPEC+. Meanwhile, gold prices climbed above $3,900 an ounce due to expectations of a Fed rate cut and ongoing global uncertainty.
