Global Markets:

Asian markets traded in the green on Wednesday as investors took cues from a rebound in U.S. ‌markets, shrugging off climbing oil prices as Houthi rebels threatened to open a front in the widening Middle East conflict.

In the commodity markets, brent crude nudged 0.6% higher to $91.55 a barrel after two oil tankers carrying ​Saudi crude to Asia reversed course in the Red Sea on Tuesday after threats of ⁠attack from Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis.

Overnight in the US, the S&P 500 fell on Monday as oil prices advanced in response to the latest bout of military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran.

The broad market index dropped 0.19% to close at 7,443.28, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.05% and ended at 25,508.07. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 307.16 points, or 0.59%, to 51,839.26.

The U.S. completed its ninth consecutive day of strikes on Iran overnight, but investor sentiment improved by midmorning in London after Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei lifted hopes for a diplomatic settlement.

Baghaei was quoted by the media saying that intermediaries had continued to exchange messages with Iran amid the latest round of U.S. strikes, and said negotiations between the two adversaries could be pursued based on national interests.

Domestic Market:

Key equity benchmarks ended lower on Tuesday, with the Nifty closing below the 24,200 mark, weighed down by higher crude oil prices, continued FII selling, and weakness in HDFC Bank.

Brent crude hovered around $90 a barrel amid ongoing Middle East tensions, fuelling concerns over inflation and corporate margins.

Despite the decline in benchmark indices, midcap and smallcap stocks outperformed on stock-specific earnings optimism. Among sectoral indices, auto and metal shares advanced, while PSU banks, IT and energy stocks ended lower.

The S&P BSE Sensex declined 238.41 points or 0.31% to 77,470.11. The Nifty 50 index fell 50.80 points or 0.21% to 24,187.70.

The FIIs have sold shares worth Rs 5,667.91 crore so far in July (till 20 July 2026). This follows their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian stocks gained on Tuesday as mediation efforts in the Middle East pushed oil prices away from a one-month high.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said they would impose ‌a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, a move that could further disrupt energy supplies, amid attacks between the U.S. and Iran, even as efforts were being made to revive a fragile ceasefire.

Brent crude futures eased 0.38% to $88.88 per barrel in early trading on Tuesday as investors latched on to hopes of a resolution. Brent hit its ​highest since mid-June at $91.42 a barrel in the previous session.

A senior Iranian official was quoted by the media stating that Tehran had received a ​proposal from mediators for a 10-day ceasefire, intended to pave the way for a lasting agreement to end the ⁠war that began on February 28 with U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

In other developments, investor focus this week will be on earnings from Alphabet and Intel, along with other firms, to gauge the impact of the war and whether the AI trade has more room to run given sky-high profit expectations for the second-quarter.

Strong earnings from Asian chip bellwethers Samsung Electronics and TSMC in recent weeks were not enough ​to satisfy investor expectations, underscoring the ​challenge facing the industry.

Overnight in the US, Wall Street's three major indexes finished lower on ​Monday while investors looked for moves toward Middle East de-escalation and waited for earnings reports due from major technology companies later in the week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 307.16 points, or 0.59%, to 51,839.26, the ​S&P 500 lost 14.41 points, or 0.19%, ​to 7,443.28 and the Nasdaq Composite lost ⁠12.17 points, or 0.05%, to 25,508.07.

Domestic Market:

Key equity benchmarks ended lower on Monday, with the Nifty closing below the 24,250 mark, dragged by heavy selling in private banking stocks following their quarterly earnings. Investor sentiment remained subdued amid weak global cues, escalating Middle East tensions and elevated crude oil prices.

Broader markets outperformed the benchmarks, with the midcap and smallcap indices ending marginally higher. Among sectors, PSU banks, pharma and energy stocks advanced, while private banks emerged as the biggest losers.

The S&P BSE Sensex tanked 442.93 points or 0.57% to 77,708.52. The Nifty 50 index fell 95.80 points or 0.39% to 24,238.50.

GIFT Nifty:

The GIFT Nifty July 2026 futures currently traded 92.00 points lower, suggesting a lower opening for the benchmark index today.

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 376.41 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 1,017.89 crore in the Indian equity market on 17 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have sold shares worth Rs 4,546.87 crore so far in July (till 17 July 2026). This follows their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian share markets traded mixed on Monday as the escalating conflict in the Gulf lifted oil prices and ​fanned fears of inflation.

Brent crude ‌climbed above $90 a barrel for the first time in more than a month as the U.S. military started a ninth straight day of attacks against Iran, which in turn struck targets across the region. Just a handful of ships transited the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday and one was reported to be on fire.

In the commodity market, the Brent duly added ⁠2.6% to $90.40 a barrel, while U.S. crude rose 2.3% to $84.39.

The jump in fuel costs has revived worries about inflation even as U.S. consumer price data surprised on ​the downside last week, leading futures markets to reportedly price in 29 basis points of Federal Reserve rate hikes by year-end.

Futures imply a 60% chance of a rate rise as early as September, pushing yields on 30-year Treasuries back above the psychological 5.0% barrier. This is a level ​that tends to attract funds away from equities and toward fixed income, while lifting the valuation bar for future corporate earnings.

Last week, stocks fell again on Friday, with Wall Street posting a weekly decline, as traders weighed the latest moves in semiconductor names along with recent quarterly reports.

The broad market index lost 1.01% to end at 7,457.69, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.4% to 25,520.24 as tech stocks came under scrutiny. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 406.55 points, or 0.77%, to close at 52,146.42.

Alongside chips, shares of Netflix were a major laggard Friday, falling more than 7% as the company’s forecast failed to ease investor concerns that growth is slowing.

Domestic Market:

Key equity benchmark indices surged on Friday despite weak global cues, with the Nifty 50 closing above the 24,300 mark and the Sensex rallying nearly 1,000 points.

The rally was led by strong buying in IT and banking stocks after upbeat quarterly earnings from Tech Mahindra and Jio Financial Services, while optimism ahead of Reliance Industries' June-quarter results further boosted heavyweight stocks.

Value buying in large-cap counters and a technical breakout above the 24,200 level added momentum to the upmove.

However, the broader market remained under pressure, with midcap and smallcap indices ending lower, indicating that gains were concentrated in large-cap stocks.

The S&P BSE Sensex surged 964.58 points or 1.25% to 78,151.45. The Nifty 50 index rallied 261.55 points or 1.09% to 24,334.30.

GIFT Nifty:

The GIFT Nifty July 2026 futures currently traded 84.00 points lower, suggesting a red opening for the benchmark index today.

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 4,205.56 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 2,986.41 crore in the Indian equity market on 16 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have sold shares worth Rs 4,170.46 crore so far in July (till 16 July 2026). This follows their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian markets traded lower on ​Friday as the drag from chipmakers weighed on global equity indexes, while oil prices were set for their sharpest weekly rise ‌in three months as tensions in the Middle East erupted anew.

Investors this week reportedly rotated out of semiconductor plays into other sectors such as banking after robust earnings from major lenders, leaving Asia vulnerable to the selloff given its heavier exposure to chips.

Markets in South Korea were closed for ​a holiday, after the government on Thursday announced it will temporarily ban new listings of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are tied ⁠to certain major technology firms, while raising minimum required deposits for retail investors to invest in such products, in an effort to curb volatility.

On the other end, Oil prices were on the rise, ​with Brent crude futures up 0.7% to $84.83 a barrel, while U.S. crude advanced 0.7% to $79.49 per barrel.

The U.S. began conducting a new wave of strikes ​against Iran on Thursday to "further degrade Iranian military capabilities", the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

Overnight on Wall Street, chip stocks pulled the Nasdaq and the ​S&P 500 lower on Thursday as they continued to lead broader market moves despite generally upbeat U.S. economic data and ‌a strong start to second-quarter earnings season.

The Dow Jones Industrial ​Average (DJI) fell 105.32 points, or 0.20%, to 52,553.32, the S&P 500 (SPX) lost 38.63 points, or 0.51%, to 7,533.77 and the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) lost 387.28 ​points, or 1.47%, to 25,881.95.

On the data front, a spate of U.S. economic indicators released on ​Thursday showed solid core retail sales, ​a drop in jobless claims ⁠and surging manufacturing activity in the Northeast.

Less positive data came from the housing sector, with a bigger than expected drop in pending home sales and souring homebuilder sentiment reflecting high borrowing costs and strained affordability for would-be homebuyers.

Domestic Market:

Domestic equity benchmarks surrendered most of their intraday gains on Thursday as investors booked profits amid weak global cues. The Nifty slipped below the 24,100 mark after touching an intraday high of 24,186.50 in morning trade.

Sentiment remained cautious amid escalating US-Iran tensions, fuelling concerns over higher crude oil prices and their potential impact on global inflation. Meanwhile, a sell-off in global semiconductor stocks weighed on overseas markets.

However, gains in IT, auto and consumer durable stocks helped limit the downside. Technically, the Nifty remains range-bound, with a decisive move above the 24,200-24,260 zone needed to revive bullish momentum, while a breach below 24,000 could trigger fresh selling.

The S&P BSE Sensex advanced 1.44 points or 0.00% to 77,186.67. The Nifty 50 index fell 5.75 points or 0.02% to 24,072.75.

GIFT Nifty:

The GIFT Nifty July 2026 futures currently traded 18.50 points higher, suggesting a green opening for the benchmark index today.

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 735.83 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 704.93 crore in the Indian equity market on 15 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have bought shares worth Rs 35.10 crore so far in July (till 15 July 2026). This contrasts with their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian shares fell on Thursday as chipmakers stumbled ahead of results ​from bellwether Taiwan ​Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (TSMC), the world's largest manufacturer of advanced AI chips.

Bonds, however, benefited from another benign reading on U.S. inflation that lessened the risk of an ‌imminent rate hike.

In a related development, South Korea's central bank raised interest rates for the first ​time in three and half year period to 2.75% on Thursday to stabilise a slumping won and counter persistent inflationary pressure. The decision was largely as expected.

On the other side, oil prices kept climbing as hostilities heated up in the Middle East. Washington continued striking Iran after reimposing a naval blockade of its ports, while Tehran warned of an "existential war" with America. Brent crude futures rose 0.6% to $85.45 a barrel, adding to this week's gain of 12%.

Overnight in the US, Wall Street stocks gained ground on Wednesday as softening inflation data and ​a robust beginning of second-quarter earnings season put investors in a buying mood.

In regular trading, the Dow advanced 150.91 points, or 0.3%, to end the day at 52,659.18. The broad market S&P gained 0.4%, finishing at 7,572.43, and the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.6% to 26,269.23.

A softer-than-expected U.S. producer price index added to optimism that inflation is cooling, helping lift equities and providing some comfort to investors that the Federal Reserve will keep key interest rates on hold.

Additionally, strong earnings from major financial firms reassured investors that earnings growth remains intact, despite easing inflation, while lower Treasury yields boosted demand for growth stocks, particularly mega-cap technology companies.

Domestic Market:

Domestic equity benchmarks surrendered most of their intraday gains on Wednesday as investors booked profits amid renewed concerns over escalating US-Iran tensions and rising crude oil prices. After climbing to an intraday high of 24,220.35, the Nifty pared gains to close at 24,078.50.

Financial stocks, which led the early rally following softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data, remained among the top gainers, while IT shares came under pressure after IBM issued weaker-than-expected guidance.

Investor sentiment turned cautious as Brent crude hovered around $86 a barrel amid concerns over potential disruptions to global energy supplies.

Technically, the Nifty faces immediate resistance in the 24,200-24,250 zone, while 24,000 remains a crucial support level.

The S&P BSE Sensex advanced 130.49 points or 0.17% to 77,185.43. The Nifty 50 index gained 26.45 points or 0.11% to 24,078.50. In the past three consecutive trading sessions, the Nifty lost 1.38%, while the Sensex fell 1.45%.

GIFT Nifty:

The GIFT Nifty July 2026 futures currently traded 15.00 points lower, suggesting a flat opening for the benchmark index today.

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 739.69 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 2,927.71 crore in the Indian equity market on 14 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have bought shares worth Rs 770.93 crore so far in July (till 14 July 2026). This contrasts with their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian markets advanced across the board on Wednesday after a surprise slowdown in U.S. inflation scaled back market expectations for interest rate hikes, while oil took a breather as the U.S. ​scrapped a plan to levy shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. headline consumer price index fell ​0.4% in June, its first decline since the COVID-19 pandemic, while annualised core inflation of 2.6% compared with widely reported expectations for 2.8%.

Brent crude futures steadied around $85.50 a barrel, having gained more than 12% this week ​on a flare-up in ​Middle East fighting.

U.S. President ⁠Donald Trump reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports on Tuesday and threatened to attack power plants and bridges next week unless Iran resumes negotiations ​to end their conflict, though he scrapped a plan for a 20% ​fee on ⁠shipping through Hormuz.

Meanwhile, China’s economy in the second quarter expanded at its weakest pace since the fourth quarter of 2022. These figures reinforce calls for policy stimulus as an accelerating slide in investments deepened the strain on growth, while consumption stayed subdued.

Gross domestic product growth came in at 4.3% in the April to June period, data from the National Statistics Bureau showed Wednesday, missing widely reported forecast for 4.5% growth, and slowing from 5% in the first quarter.

That second-quarter growth came below Beijing’s full-year growth target range of 4.5% to 5%, the least ambitious goal in decades, amid tensions with trade partners, including the U.S. and the European Union, and sluggish domestic demand.

The S&P 500 and ​the Nasdaq advanced on Tuesday as solid big bank results and a cooler-than-expected inflation report boosted risk appetite amid ‌rising Middle East tensions.

The Labor Department's Consumer Price Index showed inflation cooled more than analysts expected in June, largely due to abating energy price pressures amid last month's signs of progress in U.S.-Iran peace negotiations.

Domestic Market:

Domestic equity benchmarks ended sharply lower on Tuesday as rising crude oil prices, escalating Middle East tensions and weak global cues dampened investor sentiment. The Nifty 50 fell below the 24,100 level.

Selling pressure was broad-based, with IT, auto and banking stocks leading the decline, while pharma and metal shares outperformed. Geopolitical developments, crude oil prices and the ongoing Q1 earnings season are likely to drive near-term market direction.

The S&P BSE Sensex declined 561.46 points or 0.72% to 77,054.94. The Nifty 50 index fell 158.95 points or 0.66% to 24,052.05. In three consecutive sessions, the Nifty has lost 1.38%, while the Sensex has fallen 1.45%.

GIFT Nifty:

The GIFT Nifty July 2026 futures currently traded 10.50 points lower, suggesting a muted opening for the benchmark index today.

India’s retail inflation breached the ​Reserve Bank’s target for the first time in 17 months, government data showed on Monday, setting ‌the stage for interest rate hikes in an economy at risk from a prolonged West Asia conflict.

The consumer price index rose to 4.38% year-over-year in June, up from 3.93% figure that was recorded in May. Inflation was led by higher fuel and food costs, ​which rose amid Iran war-driven supply disruptions and a delay in seasonal rains.

The year-on-year inflation rate based on the All India Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) for the month of June was 5.32%, India’s Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation said in a Monday release. Transport inflation rose 4.3% in June, quicker than the ​1.75% rise in May.

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 3,062.27 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 2,171.70 crore in the Indian equity market on 13 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have bought shares worth Rs 1,510.62 crore so far in July (till 13 July 2026). This contrasts with their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian markets edged lower and oil hit a one-month high in early Asian trading on ‌Tuesday after President Donald Trump said the U.S. was reinstating its blockade of Iranian shipping in the Gulf and would collect a 20% fee on cargo traversing the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude futures climbed 2.6% to $85.50 a barrel, their ⁠highest since mid-June, as trading resumed in Asia.

The latest escalation came after Iran and the U.S. exchanged airstrikes over the weekend. Tehran targeted U.S. facilities in several Gulf countries and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, though Trump disputed that claim on Sunday, saying the key shipping lane remained open to commercial traffic.

Trump on Saturday ordered airstrikes on Iran after Tehran attacked a commercial vessel transiting the strait.

Markets were also rattled by hawkish comments on Monday from Federal Reserve ​Governor Christopher Waller, who said the U.S. central bank may need to raise interest rates "in the near term" if ​coming data show inflation continuing well above the 2% target.

Overnight, stocks on Wall ​Street sold off and oil futures surged more than 9% as conflict between the United States and Iran re-ignited, once again ‌throttling the ⁠flow of goods through the Strait of Hormuz.

The S&P 500 lost 0.79% to end the day at 7,515.34, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.55% to finish at 25,873.18. The Dow Jones Industrial Average settled down 138.37 points, or 0.26%, at 52,498.64.

All eyes now are on the U.S. CPI data that is due for release later on Tuesday, followed by comments from Fed Chair Warsh, who will deliver the central bank's semi-annual monetary policy report to Congress.

Domestic Market:

Benchmark indices recovered from early losses to end marginally higher on Monday, supported by strong buying in IT stocks. The Nifty settled above the 24,200 mark after rebounding from an intraday low of 24,000.20.

The Nifty IT index rallied 3.6%, led by a 5.5% jump in TCS, while consumer durables stocks also advanced. In contrast, FMCG and metal shares declined, while broader market indices ended largely flat.

Investors largely shrugged off concerns over escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and instead focused on stock-specific developments amid the ongoing first-quarter earnings season.

The S&P BSE Sensex advanced 47.04 points or 0.06% to 77,616.40. The Nifty 50 index rose 4.10 points or 0.02% to 24,211.

The GIFT Nifty July 2026 futures currently traded 189 points lower, suggesting a negative opening for the benchmark index today.

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) bought shares worth Rs 2,603.72 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 2,019 crore in the Indian equity market on 10 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have bought shares worth Rs 4,572.89 crore so far in July (till 10 July 2026). This contrasts with their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian markets traded lower on Monday after surrendering early gains as investors remained cautious amid renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Investor sentiment weakened after Iran and the United States exchanged airstrikes over the weekend. Tehran claimed it had targeted U.S. military facilities across multiple Gulf countries and announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, U.S. President Donald Trump rejected the claim on Sunday, stating that the strategic waterway remained open to commercial shipping. In South Korea, shares of SK Hynix fell 5% after the chipmaker's stock had surged 13% during its Nasdaq debut, prompting investors to book profits.

In US, Wall Street ended higher on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.29% to close at 52,637.01, the S&P 500 rose 0.42% to 7,575.39, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.29% to finish at 26,281.61.

Investors are also gearing up for a busy U.S. earnings week, with several major financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, scheduled to report quarterly results. Earnings from Netflix, Johnson & Johnson and UnitedHealth are also expected to be closely watched for clues on corporate performance and the broader economic outlook.

Domestic Market:

Benchmark equity indices rallied sharply on Friday, with the Nifty closing above the 24,200 mark, supported by broad-based buying across sectors. Investor sentiment was further lifted by positive global cues as concerns over a broader Middle East conflict eased. Lower crude oil prices, a firmer rupee and a decline in the India VIX added to the positive momentum.

The S&P BSE Sensex jumped 827.57 points or 1.08% to 77,569.39. The Nifty 50 index rose 244.10 points or 1.02% to 24,206.90. In two consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex rallied 1.35% while the Nifty jumped 1.33%.

The FIIs have bought shares worth Rs 1,969.17 crore so far in July (till 09 July 2026). This contrasts with their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian stocks rose sharply on Friday, led by chip and AI firms as investors brushed ​off concern over the stalled recovery of energy supplies through the critical Strait of Hormuz, with tit-for-tat attacks escalating between the U.S. and ‌Iran.

The renewed back-and-forth attacks have further eroded the fragile three-week-old ceasefire, bringing the spotlight back on oil prices and what it could mean for inflation and the global rates outlook.

Brent crude futures were set for a 5% rise in the week, their strongest weekly performance since early May. But at $76.03 per barrel, Brent has given up most of the gains it picked up ​when the conflict began at the end of February.

Attention will be on SK Hynix's U.S. market debut later on Friday after the firm priced its American Depositary Receipts at $149 ‌on Thursday, ⁠raising about $26.5 billion, indicating strong investor appetite to gain exposure in the AI supply chain.

The blockbuster offering, which will finance new factories and equipment to meet surging AI chip demand, is set to be the world's second-biggest share sale after SpaceX's , record-breaking IPO last month.

Overnight on Wall Street, stocks rose on Thursday, bolstered by a jump in semiconductors and a fall in oil prices, as equity markets tried to recover in spite of renewed U.S.-Iran tensions.

The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.30% to 26,206.89, while the S&P 500 rose 0.81% to 7,543.64. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 139.02 points, or 0.27%, to 52,487.41.

Domestic Market:

Benchmark indices rebounded on Thursday after the previous session's sharp sell-off, supported by broad-based buying and improving global sentiment. The Nifty closed above the 23,950 mark as easing geopolitical concerns after US President Donald Trump said a renewed war with Iran was unlikely.

Meanwhile, renewed FII buying in domestic shares, a steady rupee and optimism ahead of the Q1 earnings season lifted investor sentiment. Broader markets outperformed the benchmarks. PSU banks and consumer durables stocks led the gains. IT and auto shares, however, remained under pressure.

The S&P BSE Sensex jumped 238.22 points or 0.31% to 76,741.82. The Nifty 50 index rose 80.75 points or 0.34% to 23,962.80. In the past two trading sessions, the Nifty and Sensex declined 2.25% and 2.28%, respectively.

GIFT Nifty:

Institutional Flows:

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) bought shares worth Rs 1,962.80 crore, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 790.16 crore in the Indian equity market on 08 July 2026, provisional data showed.

The FIIs have bought shares worth Rs 2,502.03 crore so far in July (till 08 July 2026). This contrasts with their cash sales of Rs 49,028.63 crore in June, Rs 55,963.33 crore in May and Rs 70,135.46 crore in April.

Global Markets:

Asian markets traded mostly lower on Thursday as renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and a jump in oil prices dampened the investor sentiment.

The U.S. launched fresh strikes on Iran in response to Tehran’s attacks on commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Wednesday afternoon.

Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump said he may no longer be interested in negotiating a deal with Iran. Prior to that, he said that the ceasefire between the U.S. and Tehran is “over” after another wave of attacks in the Middle East.

Overnight on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from record levels on Tuesday as investors once again appeared to rotate out of names tied to artificial intelligence and as oil prices advanced.

The 30-stock index lost 130.76 points, or 0.25%, after earlier hitting a new all-time intraday high. Ultimately, the Dow closed at 52,925.15. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.16% to 25,818.69. The S&P 500 slid 0.45% to end at 7,503.85.

Domestic Market:
