Global Markets
Live world indices across the US, Europe and Asia.
Global marketsset the backdrop for every Indian trading day. This page brings the world's major stock indices into one live view — the US(Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq, Russell 2000), Europe (FTSE 100, CAC 40, DAX, Euro Stoxx 50) and Asia (Nifty 50, Sensex, Nikkei 225, Hang Seng, Shanghai Composite, KOSPI and more).
For Indian investors these are the global cues: US indices close before India opens and often dictate the Nifty and Sensex's opening direction, while Asian markets trading through India's morning and European markets in the afternoon shape sentiment intraday. Each index shows its live level, change, previous close and 52-week range, and you can click through to a detailed chart.
Because each market trades in its own timezone, some indices display their last close when that session is shut. Track this page alongside US Markets and the Market Dashboard for a full global picture heading into each Indian session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do global markets matter for Indian investors?›
Indian markets rarely move in isolation. Overnight moves in the US (Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq), Europe (FTSE, DAX) and other Asian markets (Nikkei, Hang Seng) set the tone — often called "global cues" — for how the Nifty and Sensex open the next day.
What are global cues?›
Global cues are the signals Indian traders take from world markets before the session opens — US closing levels, European trends, Asian markets trading in India's morning, plus crude oil, gold and the dollar index. Strong or weak global cues frequently drive the opening direction of the Nifty and Sensex.
Which global indices should I track?›
The most-watched for Indian markets are the US indices (Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq), because they close before India opens, and Asian indices trading in India's morning (Nikkei, Hang Seng, Shanghai, KOSPI). European indices (FTSE, CAC, DAX) matter through the Indian afternoon.
Are these index prices live?›
Yes — index levels refresh roughly every two minutes while their respective markets are open. Note that each market trades in its own timezone, so some indices show the last close when their session is shut.
