Hello and welcome to our live coverage on stock markets.

The GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of Nifty 50's performance, traded at 24,045, pointing to a firm opening for Indian markets. On Friday, Indian equity benchmarks closed lower for a third consecutive session, led by losses in information technology and pharma stocks. The Nifty 50 ended at 23,898, down 1.14%, while the Sensex fell nearly 1,000 points, or 1.3%, to 76,664.21.

Japan's Nikkei 225 advanced 0.53% to a record high, while South Korea's Kospi rose 1% and also touched a new peak. Australia's S\&P/ASX 200 moved lower, falling 0.54%.
