Sensex, Nifty Likely to Open Higher on Wednesday Amid US Tech Recovery

The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open higher on Wednesday, stabilising from a severe fall in the previous session, following gains in the global markets.

Asian markets rallied, while the US stock market ended higher overnight, led by gains in technology stocks.

As of 7:36 am, Gift Nifty was trading around the 25,664  level, up nearly 61 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close, indicating a positive start for the Indian stock market indices. 

GIFT Nifty is pointing to a positive start, supported by four key catalysts:

  1. US tech stocks rebound: Technology stocks in the US recovered after a sharp fall due to AI-disruption concerns.

  2. FIIs turn net buyers: Foreign institutional investors recorded net buying of ₹1,369.93 crore in February so far.

  3. Positive global sentiment: Asian markets opened higher, following the rally in US equities.

  4. India’s GDP Growth in Q3FY26: India’s GDP growth in Q3FY26 is expected to be around 8%–8.1%, according to an SBI Research report released on Tuesday, suggesting that the domestic economy has held up well despite global headwinds.

Taken together, these factors signal a higher opening for the Nifty.
