Here key things to know before market opens on Tuesday:

SGX Nifty Update

Nifty Futures on Singapore Exchange also known as SGX NIfty Futures rose 101 points or 0.56 per cent to 18,198 indicating a gap up opening for Indian markets.

Asian Markets

Asian markets were trading on a strong note on Tuesday taking cues from positive closing on Wall Street overnight. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 2.1 per cent, Singapore's STRAITS TIMES rose 0.46 per cent while Japan's Nikkei was down 0.01 per cent.

US Markets

Stocks shook off a downbeat start to close higher Monday, as big gains by technology and communications companies helped offset losses elsewhere on Wall Street.

The S&P 500 rose 0.8 per cent after having been down 0.2 per cent in the early going. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3 per cent and the Nasdaq composite added 1.9 per cent.

Twitter surged 27.1 per cent for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after the company disclosed that Tesla’s Elon Musk had taken a 9.2 per cent stake in the social media platform. In recent weeks Musk has publicly questioned the company’s commitment to free speech. The gains were a key factor in lifting the broader communications sector and keeping the S&P 500 in the green even as little less than half the companies in the index fell.

According to Ukraine’s prosecutor-general Iryna Venediktova, the bodies of 410 civilians have been removed from Kyiv-area towns that were recently retaken from Russian forces.
