Indian equities opened lower on Wednesday, ending a six-day winning streak for the Sensex and Nifty. Investors remained cautious ahead of the weekly Nifty options expiry and reports of a potential India–U.S. trade deal.
Latent View Technologies, Intellect Design Arena, and Endurance Technologies were the top gainers, while KEC International, Waaree Energies, and HBL Engineering led the losses. The rupee strengthened slightly, supporting some buying interest.
IT and FMCG stocks showed relative resilience, but falling oil prices and mixed global market trends kept overall sentiment subdued. Traders are keeping a close watch on upcoming economic data and corporate earnings for direction.
