Indian equity markets open in green, with Sensex above 74,300. Experts cite global uncertainty and inflation data as key factors influencing market trends.
The Indian equity benchmark indices, including the BSE Sensex, opened in green on Wednesday. The BSE Sensex was above 74,300, and the Nifty50 was above 22,550. At 9:19 AM, the BSE Sensex was trading at 74,372.38, up 270 points or 0.36%. The Nifty50 was at 22,556.25, up 58 points or 0.26%.
On Tuesday, Indian markets showed stability, contrasting with declines in Asian markets after sharp drops on Wall Street. Market experts expect trends to align with global developments and remain consolidated, given the lack of significant domestic catalysts.
Factors Influencing Market Trends
According to Osho Krishnan, Sr. Analyst, Technical & Derivatives of Angel One, “Going ahead, the ongoing global uncertainty stands out as a significant challenge, poised to shape the short-term trends in our domestic markets significantly. Alongside this, the release of upcoming inflation data garners careful attention as it plays a crucial role in the broader economic landscape.”
US equities declined on Tuesday, extending recent losses, as concerns grew about global economic impacts from recent tariff proposals. Investors are closely monitoring US inflation data to understand the Federal Reserve’s rate decisions amidst trade issues and growth concerns.
Asian equities traded narrowly after President Donald Trump minimised recession concerns, which helped US markets recover late despite earlier fluctuations.
Investment Trends
On Tuesday, foreign portfolio investors were net sellers, offloading shares worth Rs 2,823 crore. Domestic institutional investors acquired shares valued at Rs 2,002 crore.
Foreign institutional investors’ net short position decreased from Rs 1.79 lakh crore on Monday to Rs 1.78 lakh crore on Tuesday.
