Sensex, Nifty Set for Muted Opening Amid High Crude, Global Yield Pressure
Indian equity benchmarks are set for a muted opening on Wednesday, August 19, as elevated crude oil prices and rising global bond yields weigh on risk appetite, according to The Times of India. GIFT Nifty futures at 24,202.5 point to a flat start after six straight sessions of losses for the Nifty 50. Foreign investors bought Rs 1,652 crore of equities on Tuesday, but a record $25 billion sell-off so far this year remains a concern.
