Meanwhile, US bond yields have climbed, with the 10-year yield nearing 4.35%, adding to global risk-off sentiment.

Despite Friday’s strong close—where the Nifty hit a one-month high of 24,051 and volatility cooled with a sharp drop in India VIX—GIFT Nifty is pointing toward a gap-down start for the week.
