Dalal Street is poised for a flat-to-positive open on Friday, with GIFT Nifty futures trading 24 points higher at 25,199 around 7:00 AM, suggesting a cautious yet optimistic tone as investors weigh a mix of domestic and global triggers.

The market will react to earnings from major firms like Wipro, Axis Bank, Jio Financial, CEAT, LTIMindtree, and Tata Communications. Results are also due today from Reliance Industries, JSW Steel, Hindustan Zinc, and several others across sectors.

FIIs net sold Rs 3,670.86 crore worth of equities on July 17, while DIIs absorbed some pressure with net purchases worth ₹2,717.50 crore.

Weekly jobless claims fell unexpectedly, signalling labour market strength. Japan’s core inflation cooled to 3.3 per cent, matching estimates.

Progress is expected on a 10–15 per cent tariff deal, which could impact sentiment across trade-exposed sectors.
