The Indian market saw a mixed performance today with Nifty 50 and Sensex barely moving, while Bank Nifty showed modest gains. This cautious market behavior is influenced by global geopolitical tensions, particularly the conflict in Ukraine, which has led to volatility in energy and metal sectors. Despite these challenges, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) provided strong support by buying ₹5,031.57 Cr, offsetting foreign institutional investors' (FIIs) selling pressure. Additionally, positive news of FIIs turning net buyers in February has improved sentiment in banking and IT sectors.
