Market Snapshot
| Index | Close | Change% |
|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 23431.50 | −0.86% |

FII and DII Flows
Institutional participation remains a focal point for traders. In the last session, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers for the second consecutive session, offloading ₹582.99 crore. Conversely, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided a cushion to the market, recording a net purchase of ₹1509.04 crore. This trend of DIIs absorbing FII selling pressure has been a consistent theme throughout the week.
What to Watch at 9:15
With the Nifty 50 failing to hold key levels during the previous session, the primary focus for the 9:15 AM open will be whether domestic liquidity can continue to offset the persistent FII outflow. Traders should observe the opening price action in the Nifty Bank and Nifty Midcap 100 indices to gauge broader sentiment as the market navigates the current volatility. All eyes remain on the opening tick to see if the index finds support or faces further downward pressure.
