Stock Market Today, July 31: Nifty, Sensex Open Higher as Positive Global Cues and FII Buying Boost Sentiment

Catch the latest Sensex Nifty updates as the markets swing with changing global trends, domestic cues, and sector performances. Follow how India’s benchmark indices are shaping the trading day.

Stock Market Outlook for July 31

• Markets Trade with Mild Gains: Gift Nifty is marginally higher at 24,409, while benchmark indices are also trading in positive territory, indicating a steady start. Early buying in frontline stocks is helping the Nifty and Sensex hold on to gains.

• Global Cues Remain Supportive: Strong overnight gains on Wall Street, led by the NASDAQ and Dow Jones, along with a sharp rally in Japan's Nikkei, are supporting investor sentiment. However, mixed performance across other Asian markets may keep gains measured.

• Institutional Flows in Focus: Strong FII buying of ₹3,623.5 crore in the previous session has boosted market confidence, although DII selling of ₹1,864 crore may temper the upside. Investors are likely to watch whether foreign inflows continue through the day.
