Indian equity markets did not open on Thursday as both the BSE and NSE remained closed for Bakri Id. Trading in Mumbai’s main equity benchmarks, including the Sensex and Nifty 50, is scheduled to resume on Friday, leaving investors to react later to regional market weakness and global developments.
Holiday session
Because the market was shut, there was no official opening move in Mumbai. The previous session had seen the Sensex close slightly lower, with investors already balancing domestic earnings, global rates and energy-price concerns.
Regional backdrop
While India was closed, several Asian markets traded weaker. That means Friday’s reopening could include a catch-up reaction to oil prices, currency moves and global risk sentiment.
What to watch
The main focus when trading resumes will be the Nifty’s response to external pressure, especially crude oil. India is particularly sensitive to energy costs because higher oil prices can affect inflation, the rupee and expectations for monetary policy.
