Calm Before the Breakout… or a Pause Before the Fall?”

Indian benchmark indices opened marginally higher on Wednesday but traded largely flat despite positive global cues.

• Nifty 50: Opened at 25,752 (+27 pts | +0.11%)

• Bank Nifty: 61,255 (+0.13%)

Markets are showing selective buying rather than broad-based momentum.

🔥 Sectoral Action

• Metals, PSU Banks, Realty & Energy: In demand

• IT Stocks: Under selling pressure

While banks and metal stocks provided support, IT heavyweights dragged the indices, keeping gains capped.

🌍 Global Cues Support Sentiment

• Asian markets traded higher, with the Nikkei up nearly 1%

• US markets closed with mild gains, led by tech and financial stocks

• Easing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran boosted risk appetite

🏆 Stocks in Focus

Infosys, Bharti Airtel, Eternal, Dabur India, BHEL, Bosch, Hexaware Technologies, and Dilip Buildcon are among key stocks in action today.

🥇 Gold & Silver Surge

• MCX Gold: ₹1,53,303 (+1.24%)

Precious metals gained amid short-covering and global bullion strength, though international gold prices remained largely flat.

🎯 Market Outlook

The market is currently in consolidation mode. Strength in metals and PSU banks is balancing weakness in IT, resulting in a flat trend.

🔍 The Big Question:

Will Nifty reclaim strong upward momentum, or will IT weakness drag the indices lower?
