Key Global Triggers to Track in Today’s Session

After offloading equities for fifteen straight sessions, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net buyers on January 28, purchasing shares worth ₹480 crore. Meanwhile, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued their strong accumulation, pumping ₹3,360 crore into the equity markets. Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are expected to open flat to slightly weaker on January 29, in line with cues from GIFT Nifty, which was trading marginally lower around the 25,390 mark. Indian equity markets extended their rally for a second consecutive session on January 28, driven by sustained buying interest in energy and metal stocks. The session began on a positive note, with benchmarks gaining momentum in the first half of the day. The Nifty touched an intraday peak of 25,372.10 before profit-taking during mid-session erased a large part of the gains. However, renewed buying in the final hour enabled the indices to settle near the day’s high. At the close, the Sensex advanced 487.20 points, or 0.60%, to end at 82,344.68, while the Nifty climbed 167.35 points, or 0.66%, to settle at 25,342.75.
