Indian stocks open flat on Friday, global economic concerns & Trump tariff influencing market movement

Mar 07, 2025

MUMBAI: Indian stock markets opened flat on Friday after two days of gains, as selling by foreign investors continued to weigh on sentiment.

Experts believe that relief from foreign outflows is unlikely before April, as investors await strong corporate earnings and the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting.

The Nifty 50 index opened at 22,508.65 points, down by 36.05 points or 0.16 per cent, while the BSE Sensex started the day at 74,347.14 points, registering a marginal gain of 7 points or 0.01 per cent.

Despite the flat opening, market analysts suggest that concerns over global economic conditions, along with the impact of Trump tariffs, are influencing market movements.
