Sensex, Nifty Set for Flat Opening as US Trade Optimism Offsets Visa Concerns

Indian markets brace for neutral start amid conflicting global signals.

Trade Winds vs Visa Headwinds

US trade deal optimism provides bullish counterweight to visa restriction worries—creating market equilibrium that leaves traders watching both horizons. The balancing act reflects India's delicate position in global economic chess matches.

Flatlining Before the Storm?

Traders eye sideways movement as competing narratives cancel out volatility. The calm opening masks underlying tensions that could erupt with single policy shift or tweet.

Because nothing says 'stable market' like depending on political whims from Washington while pretending it's all part of the strategy.
