Pre-Market
Section titled “Pre-Market”Markets Data
Section titled “Markets Data”The market is expected to maintain a bullish bias today, supported by positive overnight movements in major indices and a decline in the US dollar. However, foreign institutional investors' net cash outflow and rising India VIX introduce caution. Brent crude's sharp drop and easing USDINR rates may further influence sentiment, while domestic institutional investors' inflows provide a counterbalance. Overall, the setup suggests a cautiously optimistic outlook.
