Sensex Today

Sensex Today: Indian stock markets opened higher on Wednesday, supported by positive global cues and improved investor sentiment. The BSE Sensex climbed 243 points, or 0.30%, to 82,273, while the NSE Nifty50 opened 79 points, or 0.31%, higher at 25,225.

Global Cues

On the global front, investors are closely watching industrial production data from the Euro Area. Back home, Dalal Street participants await key domestic indicators, including the RBI MPC minutes, trade data, unemployment numbers, and passenger vehicle sales figures, which could guide market sentiment in the near term.

Asian markets traded higher on Wednesday, defying overnight weakness on Wall Street amid renewed US–China trade tensions. The rebound came after US President Donald Trump threatened “retribution” against China, including a potential cooking oil embargo, escalating the ongoing trade dispute.

Among regional peers, Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 0.3%, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.93%, and South Korea’s Kospi climbed 0.8%.

Overnight in the US, major indices ended on a mixed note as investors digested upbeat quarterly earnings from leading banks, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments, and the intensifying US–China trade conflict. The S&P 500 slipped 0.16%, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.76%. In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a 0.44% gain, supported by gains in financial and industrial stocks.
