Sensex and Nifty Decline in Early Deals as Persistent Foreign Fund Outflows Weigh on Markets

Indian equity markets opened on a weak note as benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty slipped in early trading, pressured by continued foreign fund outflows and cautious investor sentiment. Persistent selling by overseas institutional investors has dampened risk appetite, keeping frontline indices under pressure.

The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 traded lower in early deals, extending recent losses amid year-end repositioning and thin trading volumes. Concerns over global economic uncertainty and relatively stretched valuations have led foreign investors to reduce exposure to Indian equities.

Broader markets also remained under pressure, with mid-cap and small-cap stocks witnessing selling across sectors. Market participants noted that the absence of strong domestic triggers and mixed global cues are likely to keep markets range-bound in the near term.

Analysts expect volatility to persist as investors await fresh signals on global interest rates, capital flows, and upcoming macroeconomic developments.
