Institutional flows remained supportive despite the weak headline indices. On August 26, FIIs were net buyers of approximately ₹503 crore, while DIIs were net buyers of around ₹6,425 crore, according to provisional exchange data.
IT stocks remained under pressure amid concerns surrounding US visa policies and their potential impact on technology companies. At the same time, banking and metal stocks showed relative strength. Crude oil prices moving toward the $85-per-barrel region provided some relief to the broader Indian market, although geopolitical uncertainty remained an important factor.
For Thursday, market participants will also watch global cues and developments around US inflation, interest-rate expectations and Nvidia’s results. Technical market commentary places 24,350 as an important resistance area, while 24,130–24,150 remains an important near-term level to watch. These are market reference levels and not investment recommendations.
