Indian markets face mixed cues from global tensions and corporate earnings; FII outflows persist while DIIs provide support.
Indian equities are expected to open with mixed sentiment, influenced by ongoing geopolitical tensions between Iran and the US, which led to declines in Nifty and Sensex yesterday. Global markets also showed a downward trend. Domestically, a series of Q4 corporate earnings announcements will be key, with some companies reporting strong growth and others facing profit declines or increased losses. FIIs continued to be net sellers, while DIIs provided buying support.
