TRADE SET-UP: Global backdrop remains cautiously optimistic.
US markets closed relatively flat but showed resilience. No major sell-off in tech, keeping sentiment stable.
Asian markets are trading mixed to mildly positive, with no immediate red flags.
Yesterday, Nifty closed 173 points higher, led by SBIN, supported by strong quarterly results.
Institutional data shows FII buying in large caps, while DII buying emerged strongly in mid and small caps, making both net buyers for the session.
Keep a close watch on India’s 10-year bond yield, hovering near 6.76%, as any spike can impact equity sentiment intraday.
