Stock market outlook today, 5 Oct: Sensex, Nifty prediction - DJIA, S&P, NASDAQ, GIFT Nifty, Nikkei, Taiwan cues
Indian stock markets are expected to open positively on Monday following a global trend, despite a record-breaking eight-week losing streak. Analysts cite softer US employment data as a potential catalyst for recovery, though geopolitical risks and foreign selling remain concerns.
Why it matters
The market's performance reflects broader investor anxiety regarding global macroeconomic conditions and persistent geopolitical instability.
Stock market prediction for Monday, 5 October, 2026: The Indian stock market is likely to open in green, as GIFT Nifty signalled a positive start on Monday, 5 October.
Meanwhile, Asian markets traded higher on Monday, while US stock futures closed in green on Friday last week.
“Indian equities are likely to open on a cautiously positive note, with GIFT Nifty futures trading above 22,600 against the Nifty 50’s previous close of 22,422, pointing to an early recovery attempt. Softer-than-expected U.S. employment data has eased some immediate concerns over further Federal Reserve tightening at its October meeting, offering a degree of support to global risk appetite. However, elevated Treasury yields, persistent foreign selling and renewed geopolitical risks could limit the upside and keep investors guarded through the session,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
