Indian share market indices closed on a positive note because of the strong foreign investor inflows and encouraging signals from the global market.

Market experts believe that the ongoing foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows and optimism around India-US trade negotiations have improved investor confidence. In the sectoral indices on NSE, all the sectors opened with gains except the Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Private bank, Nifty FMCG and Nifty IT lead in gains.

Global cues also remained slightly positive, with investors watching developments from Warren Buffett’s annual Berkshire Hathaway meeting and recent interviews of US President Donald Trump over the weekend. Furthermore, now the fed meeting will take the charge of further movement in the market. Back home, several key companies announced their fourth-quarter earnings today.

What Else For The Share Market?

Ajay Bagga Banking and Market expert told ANI, “Indian markets are getting into a zone of complacency, betting that no kinetic action will take place on Pakistan. Continued FPI flows are boosting sentiment and futures are pointing to a positive start with follow through money waiting to jump in.”

He added, “Geopolitical risks are the only overhang. Asian currencies are surging today, with the US dollar weakening. Oil prices are falling as the Saudis bring out the old playbook of bankrupting potential production expanding investors. Oil prices are falling as a result.”
