Today's Indian market saw muted gains as global uncertainties loomed large. Despite a mild uptick in Nifty 50 and Sensex, significant foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows of ₹1,090 Cr highlighted caution among global investors, primarily due to geopolitical tensions, notably the Trump-Xi trade summit amidst the Iran conflict. The ban on sugar exports aimed to curb inflation but posed challenges for FMCG stocks reliant on sugar. Meanwhile, the stability in the USD/INR rate offered some respite amidst the rupee's broader weakness.
