Indian share market opened with gains because of the global cues remaining broadly positive, the uncertainty on the domestic front capped gains for Indian indices due to tensions on the India-Pakistan border.
Market experts pointed out that the ongoing border tensions are the primary factor holding back a stronger rally in the Indian equities. They believe that in the absence of such geopolitical risks, the overall positive global sentiment would have supported a sharper upward move in domestic markets.
What Else For Share Market?
On the global front, equity markets showed resilience despite some economic concerns. US markets are leading the recovery charge, brushing aside weaker-than-expected Q1 GDP numbers and subdued Chinese manufacturing data.
The rally is being fuelled by strong Big Tech earnings and easing tensions between the US and China, supporting the broader “hope trade.” As a result, global cues remain firmly positive, providing a supportive backdrop for emerging markets like India.
In corporate earnings, several notable companies announced their Q4 FY25 results today. In the previous trading session, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) remained net buyers with an investment of Rs 1,792 crore. However, foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows moderated significantly, with net inflows of only Rs 50 crore, according to data released by the NSE.
