Mumbai, March 25, 2025 – Indian equity benchmarks BSE Sensex and Nifty50 opened in the green on Wednesday, March 26, buoyed by positive global signals and renewed foreign investor interest. According to Times of India, the Sensex climbed over 100 points to hover above 78,100, while the Nifty50 crossed 23,700 in early trade, reflecting cautious optimism on Dalal Street.
The uptick follows a bilateral US-India trade thaw, easing fears of harsh reciprocal tariffs set for April 2, alongside a robust Rs 19,136 crore inflow from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) over the past four sessions. “FIIs turning buyers and a dip in futures short positions signal resilience,” noted an analyst cited by Times of India. Key sectors like financials and pharmaceuticals are in focus, with the latter poised for a rebound if trade tensions soften.
Global markets lent support—Wall Street rose on Tuesday, with Apple up and Nvidia down, as investors eyed a softer Trump trade stance (Reuters). Yet, volatility looms: India’s macro gains—retail inflation at 3.61% in February (ET)—clash with FII outflows of Rs 1.5 lakh crore in 2025 so far. The real test? Can this rally hold amid global trade flux, or will it falter under profit-booking pressure?
