The Indian stock market is set to open higher on Friday, with the Gift Nifty trading at around 24,263, signaling a rise of nearly 100 points from the previous close of Nifty futures. This positive outlook comes despite mixed global market cues, as Asian markets showed varied performance and US indices retreated from record highs. The rise in crude oil prices, with Brent crude futures increasing by 1.17% to $106.3 per barrel, reflects concerns over renewed military tensions in the Middle East. Additionally, gold prices remained steady, though they are projected to decline for the week due to inflation fears driven by high oil prices. The geopolitical landscape, particularly the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, is also influencing market sentiment.
