Indian equities opened Wednesday with solid gains, as optimism around trade developments and supportive global cues lifted investor confidence. Both the Sensex and Nifty 50 advanced at the opening bell, led by financials and cyclical stocks.
Strong start on Dalal Street
The session at the Bombay Stock Exchange began with broad-based buying, reflecting upbeat sentiment among domestic and foreign investors. Early strength in index heavyweights set a positive tone for the broader market.
Financials and cyclicals lead
Banking, energy and metals stocks were among the strongest performers at the open, benefiting from expectations of improved trade flows and stable economic growth. Market breadth was notably positive in early trade.
Rupee stability supports confidence
A relatively stable rupee provided additional comfort to investors, reducing concerns over imported inflation and capital outflows. This stability reinforced risk appetite across equity segments.
Focus turns to earnings and policy
With earnings season under way and policy developments in focus, investors are preparing for higher volatility in coming sessions. Nevertheless, the strong opening suggested confidence in India’s medium-term growth outlook remains intact.
