The Indian markets saw a positive uptick with Nifty and Sensex both gaining 0.83%, despite substantial FII outflows, driven by a combination of geopolitical tensions and domestic factors. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has spurred oil prices, creating inflationary pressures, yet domestic investor confidence remains intact, buoyed by strong buying from domestic institutional investors (DIIs). The media and IT sectors led the charge, benefitting from sectoral rotation and a rebound in global tech sentiment.
