Live: Nifty to react to H1-B visa fee hike, GST 2.0 implementation | Opening Bell

Nifty closed last week with gains of nearly one percent, though both Sensex and Nifty snapped their three-day winning streak in the previous session. Bank Nifty, too, ended its 12-day run, settling in the red. On the global front, US President Donald Trump announced a steep $100,000 fee for each H1-B visa, a move that could weigh on Indian IT companies. Back home, the much-awaited GST 2.0 framework comes into effect today with a two-tier structure, while Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is set to lead a delegation to the US, keeping policy watchers on their toes. This morning, global cues were positive. US markets ended higher on Friday's session while Asian markets started the day higher after China kept its prime lending rates unchanged for the fourth month in a row.
