Sensex, Nifty on Wednesday
Following a volatile session, the Indian markets managed to end in the green zone taking cues from other Asian markets. Progress in US-China trade talks was another driver.

Of the 4180 stocks traded on BSE, 2227 stocks advanced, 1821 stocks declined while 132 remained unchanged.
The World Bank forecast that India’s growth will be a bit sower at 6.3% in FY26 compared with 6.5% in the previous year. The forecast for growth in FY2025/26 has been downgraded by 0.4% point in comparison to January projections. Global trade barriers can impact India’s external sector negatively.
