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 May 29

  • Positive Start for Domestic Markets: Indian equities have opened on a firm footing, supported by a 0.50% rise in Gift Nifty and gains across key benchmarks. The Nifty 50 is up 0.11% at 23,933.05, while the Sensex has advanced 0.26% to 76,066.10. Banking stocks are also lending support, with Nifty Bank gaining 0.41%.

  • Supportive Global Cues: Strong gains across Asian markets, led by Japan's Nikkei (+2.66%) and Hong Kong's Hang Seng (+1.10%), are boosting risk appetite. Positive momentum from global equities and lower crude oil prices are providing an additional tailwind for domestic sentiment.

  • Institutional Flows Remain Key: Foreign investors remained net sellers to the tune of ₹1,042.7 crore in the previous session, but robust DII buying of ₹3,821 crore continues to provide a strong cushion. Meanwhile, a softer India VIX and declining bond yields indicate a relatively stable risk environment, which could support further gains through the session.
