Sensex Opens in the Green
India’s BSE Sensex opened about 0.5% higher at 75,567 on Friday, recovering from the previous session’s losses as investors awaited updates on US-Iran peace talks. Geopolitics remained the key macro driver, with markets watching whether Washington and Tehran can advance negotiations on uranium enrichment and shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz, although US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the discussions as showing tentative signs of progress. Meanwhile, foreign investors withdrew $22.2 billion from equities in under three months, exceeding last year’s record annual outflows, signaling heightened caution over the market and global economic outlook. Notable gainers included Laxmi Dental (+20%), Le Travenues (+4.7%), and RCF (+5.9%). Among the laggards, LG Electronics fell 3.2% after lower quarterly profit despite an 8% revenue rise, hit by higher costs and a weaker rupee, while Gail slipped 1% after weaker Q4 earnings as Middle East tensions disrupted gas supplies.
