<p>Equity benchmark indices declined in early trade on Thursday amid weak trends from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/business/stock-market/article/stock-market-update-markets-turn-flat-amid-profit-taking-weak-trends-in-asian-peers-23382076" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">global markets</a> but soon turned positive and were trading marginally higher.</p>
<p>The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 102.78 points to 81,682.78 in early trade. The <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/sensex-rises-by-612-points-to-close-at-8169811-nifty-crosses-25000-23381102" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">NSE Nifty</a> dipped 34.85 points to 25,017.50, reported PTI.</p>
<p>However, recovering the early lost ground, the BSE benchmark gauge later traded 64.07 points up at 81,846.33 while the Nifty quoted 17.40 points higher at 25,070.15.</p>
<p>Among the 30 Sensex firms, UltraTech Cement, HCL Technologies, Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Axis Bank, Maruti, Bharti Airtel and Power Grid were the biggest laggards.</p>
<p>Bajaj Finserv, Hindustan Unilever, HDFC Bank and Tata Motors were among the gainers.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/business/stock-market/article/stock-market-update-sensex-nifty-surge-in-early-trade-on-rally-in-us-markets-foreign-fund-inflows-23380915" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Asian markets</a>, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong were trading in the negative territory.</p>
<p>The US markets ended lower on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,347.53 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data.</p>
<p>Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.11 per cent to USD 78.74 a barrel.</p>
<p>"The Nifty is expected to face choppy waters ahead, with uncertainty in market direction. The downturn in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/stock-market-update-markets-pare-early-gains-trade-lower-amid-muted-global-market-trend-23379315" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">US tech stocks</a>, particularly Nvidia's recent decline despite strong earnings, has contributed to this caution," Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said while speaking on stock market update, reported PTI.</p>
<p>"The management guidance from Nvidia has disappointed some segments of the markets this morning in Asia. AI and semiconductor stocks are falling, and MSCI Asia is down 0.5 per cent, while Nvidia itself is down 8 per cent in U.S. after-market trading," Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert, said while speaking on stock market update, reported ANI.</p>
<p>He further added, "In India, FIIs had a net cash segment outflow number for Indian markets on Wednesday. Expect a consolidating market that tries to break out further from its fresh all-time high levels. The IT sector could see some profit booking on the back of the bellwether Nvidia's below-expectation guidance," reported ANI.</p>
<p>Rising for the tenth straight session on Wednesday, the NSE Nifty went up by 34.60 points or 0.14 per cent to settle at a new closing high of 25,052.35. The benchmark surged 111.85 points or 0.44 per cent to hit a fresh intra-day all-time peak of 25,129.60.</p>
<p>Extending its winning run to the seventh day in a row, the BSE benchmark climbed 73.80 points or 0.09 per cent to settle at 81,785.56.</p>
