Indian Benchmark Indices Open Little Changed on Friday

The Indian stock market opened with a cautious tone on Friday, 22 May, as crude oil prices hovered near $105 per barrel. Investors closely tracked developments in the ongoing US-Iran peace negotiations, which maintained opposing positions on Tehran’s uranium stockpile and control over the Strait of Hormuz during talks on Thursday.

Market IndexChange
Nifty 500.07%
BSE Sensex0.1%

The benchmark Nifty 50 edged up 0.07% to 23,671.20, while the BSE Sensex gained 0.1% to 75,260.39 as of 9:15 IST. Despite the cautious sentiment, broader markets outperformed the benchmarks, with small-cap and mid-cap indices rising 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively. Fourteen of the 16 major sectoral indices traded in positive territory.

Market experts noted that the decline in Brent crude below $105 per barrel and the rupee’s recovery to 96.20 against the US dollar from 96.96 levels offered some relief to investors. However, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained sellers, offloading equities worth ₹1,891.21 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data.

Market Outlook and Recommendations

Nifty 50 has been consolidating within the 23,800-23,300 levels for the past six to seven trading sessions, indicating a short-term sideways trend. Any breakout on either side may indicate further direction. The crucial support zone lies around the 23,300-23,100 levels, and a violation of this zone may trigger further downside toward the 23,000-22,500 levels.
