The Indian stock market on Tuesday witnessed a turnaround with a positive opening. The market indices following Monday's bullish behaviour opened on a high today as well. The major reason behind the bullish movement is said to be the return of foreign inflows to domestic markets and investor sentiment.
As reported by news agency ANI, the Nifty 50 index on Tuesday opened at 25,922.65, registering a gain of 55.35 points, or 0.21 per cent, whereas the BSE Sensex opened at 84,210, up by 144.25 points, or 0.17 per cent.
Market experts said that the positive opening on Tuesday was supported by renewed buying from foreign portfolio investors and strength across broader market indices.
Ajay Bagga, banking and market expert, while speaking to the media on Tuesday, said, "The Indian stock futures are pointing to a positive start, which could see further consolidation as FPIs have turned net buyers in February. Broader Indian indices outperformed the mainboard indices, as per ANI.
Bagga further added that expectations of stronger business activity after the US-India framework deal on trade helped several sectors rally.
He also asserted, "Hopes of a strong boost in orders post the US-India framework deal on trade saw sectors like textiles, gems and jewellery, auto parts and the bankers to all Indians, the PSU banks rallying strongly," as per ANI.
According to the data, fund flows in the cash market on Tuesday at NSE showed FII inflows of Rs 2,254.6 crore, while DII inflows stood at Rs 4.2 crore.
In the broader market, gains were visible across indices. On the NSE, the Nifty 100 surged by 0.20 per cent, the Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.20 per cent, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 jumped by 0.46 per cent, indicating strong participation beyond the frontline stocks.
Sectorally, mixed trends were seen. While Nifty Auto, Nifty Pharma and Nifty PSU Bank gained 0.24 per cent, 0.5 per cent and 0.23 per cent, respectively, some sectors witnessed mild pressure, with FMCG on Tuesday down by 0.02 per cent, IT slipping 0.21 per cent and Metal easing by 0.02 per cent.
In the commodities market, gold prices continued to remain elevated at Rs 1,57,255 per 10 grams for 24 karat, while silver prices declined on Tuesday by 1.5 per cent to Rs 2,59,167 per kg.
While commenting on gold prices, Bagga noted, "Gold and silver saw dip buying returning. Crypto also saw fresh buying and tentative recoveries, as per ANI.
