Global Market Cues Driving Sentiment
Indian equities are mirroring strong global sentiment:
- US Markets: Wall Street closed higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones gaining 0.65%, Nasdaq up 0.85%, and S&P 500 adding 0.72%, supported by cooling inflation expectations and strong consumer spending data.

These external tailwinds are helping Indian indices sustain gains despite profit-booking pressures.
