Nifty futures hint negative start; Brent surges to $91

Imagine a big scoreboard that shows how the stock market is doing.

In India, one important scoreboard is called the Nifty 50.

Before the market opened, a special signal called Nifty futures suggested the day might start with prices going down.

At the same time, the price of oil called Brent crude went up to $91 for one barrel.

When oil gets expensive, it can make many companies worried.

The Nifty 50 had already gone down for five days in a row.

People who study charts say the market has a safety line at 24,200 points.

If the market stays above that line, it might be okay.

Traders are also watching some companies like Paytm and Netweb Technologies.

Everyone is waiting to see what happens next.
