India’s Nifty 50 index begins Tuesday’s session with a modest +0.13% gain, opening at 24615.55. Positive FII flows from Monday’s session appear to provide early support as trades commence.
The Nifty 50 index commenced trading on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, with a positive bias, registering a modest gap-up opening. The benchmark index opened at 24615.55, marking a gain of +32 points or +0.13% from its previous closing level of 24583.80. This early uptick suggests a continuation of the positive sentiment observed in the prior session, with market participants digesting recent data.
| Index | Open (Today) | Change vs Prev Close | Prev Close |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 24615.55 | +32 pts (+0.13%) | 24583.80 |
In the initial minutes of trade, market breadth within the Nifty 50 remains neutral, with 0 advances and 0 declines reported among its constituents. This indicates that while the index opened higher, individual stock movements are yet to establish a clear directional trend, suggesting a cautious start to the trading day.
Institutional activity from the past two sessions offers context to today’s open. On Monday, August 10, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) demonstrated strong buying interest, recording net inflows of +₹1974.76 crore. Conversely, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net sellers, with outflows amounting to −₹1290.29 crore. This FII buying activity on Monday ensures zero consecutive sell sessions for foreign investors, signaling renewed confidence.
Prior to this, on Friday, August 7, both institutional categories were net buyers. FIIs had registered net inflows of +₹480.24 crore, complemented by DII inflows of +₹235.56 crore. The sustained FII buying over these two recent sessions appears to be a key factor influencing the Nifty’s positive opening today.
As the market progresses through its first half-hour, traders will be closely watching for sector rotation and any shifts in institutional flow patterns to ascertain the sustainability of these early gains.
