Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian domestic markets are poised for a weak start this week, with limited cues from global equities as the Japanese and Thai markets remain closed. Gift Nifty indicates a slight uptick, but analysts expect volatility due to foreign portfolio investors’ (FPI) continued selling, totalling ₹58,710 crore through October. Despite this, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have absorbed the selling pressure. Quarterly results from companies like Reliance Industries, HCL Tech, and AngelOne are set to influence market sentiment today. The Nifty ended last week nearly flat, with mid-cap and small-cap indices performing better. Sectors like Pharma and Auto outperformed, while metals and FMCG lagged. Technical analysts note bearish sentiment as call writing outpaces put writing, signalling caution. The market’s future direction depends on upcoming earnings and global geopolitical events, with the put-call ratio remaining at 0.75.
