Mon Jan 27 09:39:52 IST 2025: ## Indian Markets Poised for Weak Open, Following Global Trends

**Mumbai, India** – Indian benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open lower on January 27th, mirroring a negative trend in the GIFT Nifty, which was trading at 22,975 early Monday morning. This follows a mixed performance on Friday in global markets.

While Indian indices closed higher on January 23rd, with the Sensex up 0.15% and the Nifty up 0.22%, it was the broader market that saw the most significant gains. This positive domestic performance contrasts with the negative close on Wall Street on Friday, where the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all fell. The decline was attributed to investors digesting mixed economic data and earnings reports ahead of a busy week of economic releases and a Federal Reserve meeting. Despite Friday’s losses, all three major US indices still showed weekly gains.

Asian markets opened higher on Monday, although caution remained due to President Trump’s recent imposition of tariffs and sanctions on Colombia. Oil prices fell 1%, while gold remained steady near record highs. The US dollar strengthened, and Asian currencies showed mixed results.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued their selling spree in India, offloading equities worth ₹2,758.49 crore on January 24th, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought equities worth ₹2,402.31 crore.

Traders Gurukul’s “Bots” options trading summit continues to provide opportunities for Indian retail option traders, with the event being held on the second or third Sunday of each month in major Indian cities. This event aims to improve user access to trading information and generate leads for brokers.
