Oct-27-2025

Indian equity benchmarks maintained their upbeat mood in morning session, mirroring a sharp rally in global markets. Prospects of a US-China trade deal and fresh foreign fund inflows also added to the markets' optimism. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 621.51 crore on Friday, according to exchange data. Market participants also remained optimistic as Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will visit Brussels for talks with his EU counterpart to give political impetus to the proposed trade pact, as the deadline to conclude negotiations nears. Sector-wise, Auto stocks remained in watch as the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in its latest data showed that total passenger vehicle exports rose to 4,45,884 units in the first half of the current fiscal year (H1 FY26) as compared with 3,76,679 units in the year-ago period, an increase of 18.4 per cent, with Maruti Suzuki leading the segment with shipment of over 2 lakh units. On the global front, Asian markets are trading mostly in green amid improving global sentiment as U.S.-China trade tensions eased and cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation data reinforced views that the Fed will cut the fed fund rate by another 50 bps by year-end.
