Stock market today: The Indian stock market is likely to open in green on Wednesday, February 11, following strong global cues.
Asian markets opened on a higher note on Wednesday, meanwhile, US stock market closed in negative territory.
“Indian equity markets are expected to open on a flat to mildly positive note today. The broader fundamental backdrop remains supportive, with FII flows turning decisively positive this month, lending strength to overall sentiment. Domestic institutional investors continue to accumulate on declines, providing a strong underlying cushion even during low-activity sessions. The rupee remains stable, adding macro comfort and limiting currency-driven volatility. However, markets are largely in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of key macro cues, particularly the January CPI (new series) data, where any material deviation could influence expectations around future rate cuts. In the absence of fresh triggers, the near-term trend is likely to remain range-bound, with consolidation around current levels,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
On Tuesday, the Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, extended their rally for a third straight session, supported by positive global cues. The Sensex ended at 84,273.92, up 208 points or 0.25%, while the Nifty 50 advanced 68 points, or 0.26%, to close at 25,935.15.
