Global Factors and Market Sentiment
Investor confidence was boosted by the relative calm in the Middle East ceasefire, easing fears of supply chain disruption. While Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) trimmed holdings due to narrowing yield spreads between U.S. and Indian bonds, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) stepped in as net buyers, supported by improving liquidity and rebounding consumption, noted Vinod Nair of Geojit Investments.
