Stock Market Today LIVE: According to experts, here are three factors;

Earnings a key factor for FIIs to come back

A significant growth in Indian corporates' earnings will be a key factor that will keep FIIs invested in the Indian stock market. As experts have been saying, earnings growth is likely to improve from Q4 and more meaningfully in FY27.

Rupee's movement

The strengthening of the Indian rupee is also a key factor. If the rupee strengthens, their returns improve in dollar terms, and that typically encourages FIIs to increase allocations.

The Trump factor

While earnings growth and the rupee's strength will be key factors that determine foreign inflows, the unpredictability of US President Donald Trump remains a key risk.

Stock Market Today LIVE: * Indian equities market ended flat on Wednesday despite a weak start on negative global cues. Sensex and Nifty 50 posted minor gains of 0.1% and 0.2% respectively while broader markets outperformed the benchmarks.

Stock Market Today LIVE: According to Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, the Nifty 50 appears to be in a consolidation phase without big moves at the index level.

However, there are big changes within the Nifty 50 stocks with big declines in IT stocks consequent to the IT sell off in the US spreading to India, too.

The sell off has been triggered by Anthropic’s new automation tools that the market fears may replace IT services that are presently outsourced. The market fears significant margin pressure for Indian IT companies. What the real impact will be remains to be seen.

If the cessation of selling and marginal buying by FIIs becomes a trend, the market will gain strength. This is the data point to watch for

Stock Market Today LIVE: Key market themes to look for

Concerns about AI disruption have negatively impacted sentiment: Software stocks faced pressure as worries grew that the swift adoption of AI could threaten traditional business models. Anthropic’s expansion of its AI assistant into areas like legal, sales, and data analysis has heightened anxieties about potential industry-wide upheaval.

Attention shifts to Big Tech earnings: Alphabet is set to report on Wednesday and Amazon on Thursday, with anticipated revenue growth exceeding 15% and 13% respectively. Together, these two companies make up almost 20% of the Nasdaq 100, suggesting that solid earnings could drive a rally towards 26,000.

Commodities make a comeback: Gold and silver have recovered despite the massive $15 trillion market selloff last week. With underlying factors still favorable, revisiting record highs might be a matter of when rather than if.

Bitcoin facing a turning point: Bitcoin continues to hover below $77,500. Ongoing weakness could lead to a drop to $70,000, while moving above $80,000 might aim for $88,200.
