What about global markets

In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong were trading with significant gains. The US markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday.

A look at FIIs and DIIs

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹973.94 crore on Wednesday while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were buyers as they bought equities worth ₹1,778.99 crore, as per exchange data.

Expert view on stock market

"There are no immediate near-term triggers that can take the market sharply up or down. Up moves may attract selling by FIIs who are likely to move some more money to China and Hong Kong since these markets are cheap and are witnessing an uptrend now," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services. But FII selling is unlikely to push the market down significantly since the ample domestic liquidity can easily absorb such selling, Vijayakumar said.
