Global Cues Signal Weak Start for Indian Markets Today

• Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are expected to open lower on January 19, influenced by a weak GIFT Nifty.
• GIFT Nifty is trading at 25,592, indicating a gap-down start for the day's trading session.
• Asian and US equities closed lower, with US markets seeing losses across major indexes for the week.
• The US dollar declined, while Asian currencies mostly strengthened; crude oil prices remained stable.
• Gold and silver surged to record highs amid fears of a US-Europe trade war over Greenland.
