Indian stock markets opened Friday with all the excitement of a Monday morning meeting. The Nifty 50 crawled up by 2.55 points to open at 25,064.65, a modest gain of 0.01 per cent—blink and you’d miss it. The Sensex, meanwhile, seemed less enthusiastic, opening down by 138.11 points at 82,392.63, declining 0.17 per cent. Despite the slow start, market experts hinted at fireworks ahead, pointing to strong inflows and historical trends that usually signal a second wind for momentum.
Banking and market expert Ajay Bagga said, “Indian markets continue to benefit from a strong inflow from FPIs while DIIs remain steady buyers as well.” Clearly, the global investment community isn’t done flirting with India just yet. Bagga added, “Yesterday’s positive reaction to the Trump assertion of zero-tariffs provided a boost to IT, auto and bank stocks,” proving once again that tweets and trade talks can still move markets.
Gainers:
Losers:
The gainers led early trade, while the laggards showed signs of morning sluggishness.
Elsewhere in Asia, Taiwan and South Korea tiptoed into the green, while Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore lost their footing. It’s one of those global mornings where no one wants to make the first big move.
So, while Friday’s market didn’t come out swinging, the stage is set—and investors are keeping one eye on the charts and another on global headlines.
