Share Market: India’s benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, opened almost flat on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. The Sensex (index with top 30 firms) opened almost flat at 78,021.45 points on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Nifty50 (index with top 50 firms) gained 32.30 points to open at 23,700.95 points.
With this, the indices started settling on the gains made in the last seven trading sessions. However, FPI inflows continue. Experts highlighted that markets have factored in widespread disruption on April 2. Furthermore, this provides some positives for investors, as the reality could be less grim than discounted into sentiment and prices. “Cautiously optimistic” is the mood of the current situation.
In the sectoral indices, Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Media opened in red, while other indices opened with gains. Nifty Auto was up by 0.18%, while Nifty FMCG gained 0.18%. Nifty IT remained flat at 0.03%. The top gainers in Nifty 50 include Power Grid, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Grasim, while the top losers include Ultratech Cement, Maruti, and Infosys at the time of filing this report.
In other Asian stocks, all major indices were trading in the green. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index gained 0.29%, the Hang Seng Index was up by 0.34%, Taiwan Weighted was up by 0.13%, while South Korea’s KOSPI index surged 0.66%.
Share Market: What Experts Are Saying?
Ajay Bagga Banking and Market Expert told ANI, “Indian markets are seeing strong FPI cash market buying for the past few days, but the markets gave up their smart gains yesterday by the end of the day. April 2nd is not a single date when all tariff’s clarity will come in, but it represents the organised chaos and upending of 80 years of an economic system that Trump 2.0 represents. As we are within a week of April 2nd, uncertainty and volatility will rise, but markets may move to what expert sportsmen do, “watch the actual move, ignore the feints of the opponent.”
Experts also stated that the countdown to April 2 is being watched closely by the markets. “Flying blind into uncertainty” is an apt descriptor of investor sentiment. On April 2nd Trump will announce new tariffs which will further decide the market movements.
Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities said, “The nifty ended up for the seventh day yesterday but not before giving up most of its intraday gains. Additionally, the drop in the small and midcap benchmarks was more notable, and each of them traced clear bearish formations. Yesterday’s highs will be pivotal from here. On the downside, a drop below, 23402 will flip the near-term bias into the bear camp.”
