Mumbai, Sep 10, 2025 | 14:39 IST – Indian shares rallied in the afternoon on Wednesday, supported by bullish international news, strong foreign investor inflows, and new hope on the India-US trade front after encouraging comments from President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Market Snapshot

At 14:39 IST, BSE Sensex was at 81,346.18, up by 244.86 points (0.30%). The index opened at 81,504.36, touched a high of 81,643.88, and a low of 81,303.17 during the day.

The NSE Nifty 50 was at 24,948.60, up by 80.00 points (0.32%). It hit an intraday high of 24,991.00 and intraday low of 24,948.60. Market breadth was mixed with 34 advances against 16 declines in Nifty constituents.

Both indices in spite of volatility, were positive.

Global and Domestic Drivers

Encouragement was derived from news in India-US trade talks, with President Trump indicating there would be “no difficulty” in having successful talks, calling Prime Minister Modi a “very good friend.” Modi set the same tone, noting that the US and India were “natural partners” with “limitless potential.”

Abroad, Wall Street closed yesterday evening at record highs, while Asian markets like Kospi, Nikkei, and Hang Seng were in the green, contributing to the upbeat mood.

On the commodity front, Brent crude was quoted at $66.95 a barrel, introducing a cautious tone for energy-sensitive areas.

Institutional Flows

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned aggressive buyers on Tuesday, injecting ₹2,050.46 crore into Indian equities. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) also added ₹83.08 crore, reinforcing confidence in market strength.

Sectoral Performance

The gains were led by IT giants such as Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and HCL Tech, along with L&T and Kotak Mahindra Bank.

Negative, on the other hand, were auto shares like M&M, Maruti, and Tata Motors, and Sun Pharma that weighed down the indices in the wake of profit-taking.

Market Outlook

Aided by strong global cues, steady institutional flows, and diplomatic strides in India–US relations, experts predict near-term support for equities. However, traders remain wary of news on tariffs and profit-booking at higher levels.
