Domestic benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened on a higher note on Wednesday amid weak cues from global markets despite escalating tensions in the West Asia conflict, which involves the US and Iran.
At 9:17 am, the BSE Sensex gained 373.72 points, or 0.51%, to 74,292.48, after rising as much as 411 points in early trade, while the NSE Nifty was up 91.25 points, or 0.39%, to 23,333.35, briefly touching a high of 23,337.80.
Among Sensex constituents, Reliance Industries jumped 1.41% to Rs1287.45. Trent advanced 0.58%, while SBI, HDFC Bank and Infosys rose 0.52%, 0.49% and 0.46%, respectively.
"The market is likely to largely ignore the escalation of the conflict in West Asia as a one off. The softness in crude price indicates that. Despite the escalation, Brent crude continues to trade below $93 level,” said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd.
“A significant trend in global markets is the fatigue that is creeping in AI trade. FIIs appear to be increasingly cautious about the concentration risks associated with the AI-related trade in South Korea and Taiwan,” Vijayakumar added.
