Market experts believe that the ongoing foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows and optimism around India-US trade negotiations have improved investor confidence.

Continued FPI flows are boosting sentiment and futures are pointing to a positive start with follow through money waiting to jump in. Geopolitical risks are the only overhang. Asian currencies are surging today with the US dollar weakening. Oil prices are falling as the Saudis bring out the old playbook of bankrupting potential production expanding investors.
