Nifty & Sensex — 16 Jul 2026
Pre-Market
Section titled “Pre-Market”Markets Data
Section titled “Markets Data”Expect bullish momentum as overnight gains in US indices and falling dollar support risk appetite, though foreign institutional selling and rupee weakness may cap upside. Reduced volatility and Brent crude's climb create favorable conditions for long positions, with domestic institutional buying providing counterbalance to FII outflows. The market starts in the upper third of its recent range with normal conviction behind the upward bias.
