Sensex, Nifty Rise 0.2% and 0.35% on Global Market Gains

The Indian equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty, opened higher on Thursday, September 3, due to positive global cues and gains across Asian markets. The Sensex opened 154.60 points higher at 76,724.95, a 0.20% increase, while the Nifty gained 83.50 points to open at 23,997.95, a 0.35% increase.

The banking and realty shares led the early gains, with Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Realty rising up to 1%. The Nifty Private Bank advanced 0.83%, and the Nifty MidSmall Financial Services index gained 0.82%. However, technology shares remained under pressure, with Nifty IT falling 0.8%. The Nifty FMCG declined 0.44%, while healthcare and pharmaceutical indices traded marginally lower.

The market sentiment received support from easing US bond yields and stronger Asian equities, which followed gains on Wall Street. Crude oil prices also edged lower after US President Donald Trump played down the possibility of a prolonged conflict with Iran.

The mobilisation of $136 billion under a concessional swap facility, including $127 billion through the FCNR(B) scheme, could support the rupee and improve foreign investor confidence. Institutional flows also remained strong, with Wednesday’s 141-point fall in the Nifty coming despite institutional buying of about Rs 9,500 crore.

The Indian equity market has been closely watching the global market trends, and the current gains are a reflection of the positive sentiment. The easing of US bond yields and the gains in Asian markets have helped improve investor sentiment.

Technically, a break above 24,150–24,215 could strengthen the Nifty’s recovery, while 23,860 remains an important downside level. The market is expected to remain volatile, and investors are advised to keep a close watch on the global market trends.

The current gains in the Sensex and Nifty are a welcome relief for investors, who have been watching the market closely. The Indian equity market has been affected by the global market trends, and the current gains are a reflection of the positive sentiment.

In conclusion, the Sensex and Nifty have opened higher on Thursday, September 3, due to positive global cues and gains across Asian markets.
