MARKET COMMENTARY

Apr-08-2026 08:29

Indian equity benchmarks, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open on a strong note today, supported by positive cues from GIFT Nifty, which was trading near the 23,863 mark.

In the previous session, domestic markets extended their winning streak for the fourth consecutive day amid volatility, with the Nifty closing above the 23,100 level. Gains were led by IT, media, metal, and realty stocks. Global sentiment remains supportive after a sharp decline in crude oil prices, following reports of a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. This is likely to further boost investor confidence at the opening bell.

On the domestic front, all eyes are on the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee decision due later today. While the repo rate is widely expected to remain unchanged, market participants will closely track the central bank’s commentary for signals on future policy direction and its assessment of ongoing geopolitical developments.

On Tuesday, the 30-share benchmark index ended at 74616.58 up by 509.73 points or by 0.69 % and then NSE Nifty was at 23123.65 up by 155.4 points or by 0.68 %.

On the global front, Asian markets surged on Wednesday morning, with South Korea’s Kospi leading gains. Japan’s Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi were trading 4.97 per cent and 5.69 per cent higher, respectively. Overnight, on Wall Street, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite settled 0.08 per cent and 0.10 per cent higher, respectively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.18 per cent.
