Indian Markets Open Higher as Geopolitical Concerns Ease and Investors Eye US Tariff Deadline
Mumbai, June 26, 2025 – Indian stock markets opened in the green for the third consecutive session on Wednesday, reflecting growing investor confidence amid a temporary cooling of global geopolitical tensions. The Nifty 50 index edged up by 24.20 points (0.10%) to begin the day at 25,268.95, while the BSE Sensex rose by 130.90 points (0.16%), starting at 82,886.41.
This steady upward movement suggests a resilient sentiment among market participants, buoyed by easing external stress factors. Analysts suggest that the calming of international tensions has given room for a shift in focus back to core economic fundamentals, including earnings expectations and macroeconomic indicators.
However, investors remain cautious as the July 9 US tariff deadline approaches—a key factor that could impact global trade sentiment. Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decisions on interest rates are also on the radar, keeping market behavior measured.
With a mix of optimism and caution, the current market environment is poised for volatility, depending on upcoming global cues. Experts believe that while domestic fundamentals remain strong, the global landscape will play a pivotal role in shaping short-term market direction.
