Indian Markets Open in Green as Investors Find Relief Amid Global Uncertainty
Domestic equity markets opened on a positive note Thursday despite continuing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, with benchmark indices rebounding after facing selling pressure in recent sessions.
Early trading showed investor sentiment improving as both the BSE Sensex and NIFTY 50 traded firmly in positive territory.
At around 9:22 a.m. IST, the Sensex was up 448.92 points, or 0.60%, at 75,057.90, while the Nifty gained 139.11 points, or 0.59%, to trade at 23,551.70.
Broad-Based Buying Seen in Early Trade
More than 25 of the 30 Sensex stocks were trading in the green during opening trade, reflecting broad-based buying across multiple sectors.
Among the top gainers were Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Asian Paints, and Trent Limited, with each stock rising more than 1.5% in early market activity.
Market analysts said bargain buying and improved sentiment after recent volatility helped support the rebound.
IT Stocks Under Pressure
Despite the broader market gains, information technology stocks remained under pressure during early trade.
Shares of Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and HCLTech traded lower, weighing on the technology sector.
The weakness in IT counters came amid cautious global sentiment and currency-related concerns affecting export-oriented companies.
Rupee Weakens Against US Dollar
Meanwhile, the Indian rupee slipped slightly against the US dollar during early foreign exchange trading.
The currency weakened by 8 paise to trade at 95.74 against the dollar, reflecting continued pressure from global market uncertainty and geopolitical developments.
Investors are now closely watching international crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and upcoming economic indicators for further direction in the markets.
