The GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of Nifty's performance, traded at 25,659.50. On Tuesday, Indian equity benchmarks snapped a two-day gaining streak, wiping out all the gains it incurred in the previous two trading sessions. The BSE Sensex closed over 1,000 points lower at 82,225, while the NSE Nifty 50 ended 1.1% lower to close below 25,450—below its crucial support level of 25,450 on F&O expiry day.

South Korea's Kospi gained 1.72% to cross 6,000 for the first time; SK Hynix rose 0.6% and Samsung Electronics added 0.88%, while Kosdaq edged up 0.16%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 climbed 1.13%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.39%, and China's CSI 300 added 0.49% after a tech-led rally on Wall Street eased concerns around AI-related disruption in some industries.
