Mumbai, March 7, 2025: Indian stock markets opened flat on Friday amid global economic concerns and recent U.S. trade policies. The BSE Sensex saw a marginal rise of 7 points to 74,347.14, while the Nifty50 dipped by 36.05 points to 22,508.65, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.
Market analysts point to foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows and U.S. tariff uncertainties as key factors influencing market movement. The recent suspension of 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods by President Trump has added to the uncertainty. Investors are now focused on upcoming U.S. labor market data and a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which could offer further economic insights.
