Indian stocks rebound, then turn volatile amid global pressures
Indian stock markets started Friday by recovering some of the losses from the previous day.
The Sensex and Nifty both rose early in the session.
Later, they moved slightly lower and became volatile.
High oil prices made investors nervous because they can increase costs.
High US government bond yields also made shares less attractive.
Technology stocks continued to face selling pressure.
Foreign investors sold a large amount of Indian shares on Thursday.
These factors kept the market under pressure despite the early rebound.
The Sensex initially rose 86 points to 73,672.98, while the Nifty gained 18.80 points to 23,080.45.
Both benchmarks later slipped, with the Sensex down 12.95 points and the Nifty lower by 16.75 points.
Larsen & Toubro, Axis Bank, Mahindra & Mahindra, Power Grid, State Bank of India, HCLTech and Bajaj Finance advanced.
Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra and NTPC were among the declining stocks.
Foreign Institutional Investors sold equities worth ₹5,027.36 crore on Thursday after the Sensex and Nifty suffered sharp losses.
