The Nifty 50 begins Thursday’s session with a +0.28% gap-up, opening at 23948.30. Early trade sees the index hold above 23,900, supported by continued FII buying from the previous two sessions.
The Nifty 50 opens Thursday’s trading session with a notable gap-up, starting at 23948.30. This marks an early gain of +66 points, or +0.28%, compared to its previous close of 23882.05. The benchmark index immediately trades above the 23,900 mark in the initial minutes.
Despite the index’s positive start, market breadth within the Nifty 50 remains flat in the earliest trades, reporting 0 advances and 0 declines. This indicates that while the headline index has moved up, individual stock movements across the 50 constituents are still consolidating or awaiting further direction as the market settles.
Among the top movers, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (ADANIPORTS) leads with a +0.51% gain at ₹1800.9. Grasim Industries Ltd. (GRASIM) follows with +0.47% at ₹3149.5, and JIO Financial Services Ltd. (JIOFIN) is up +0.38% at ₹230.86. Coal India Ltd. (COALINDIA) trades +0.37% higher at ₹430.65, and JSW Steel Ltd. (JSWSTEEL) sees a +0.30% increase to ₹1223.1.

(HCLTECH) which also trades −0.20% lower at ₹1143.3. Tech Mahindra Ltd. (TECHM) is at ₹1426, down −0.20%, while Titan Company Ltd. (TITAN) sees a −0.14% dip to ₹4580.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have shown sustained buying interest, remaining net purchasers for the second consecutive session. On July 8, FIIs injected +1962.8 crore into the market, following a +393.19 crore net inflow on July 7. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) also turned net buyers on July 8, with inflows of +790.16 crore, contrasting with their net selling of −383.43 crore on July 7. This consistent FII support appears to be a key factor underpinning the positive sentiment at the open.
