Markets likely to make negative start amid weak global cues
Sep-11-2026

Indian equity markets are likely to make a negative start on Friday, tracking weak cues from global markets, as renewed fears of energy supply disruptions in the West Asia pushed up bond yields and oil prices. Additionally, sentiments may remain downbeat as Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers on September 10, 2026, with a net outflow of Rs 438.24 crore.

Some of the key factors to be watched:

India, Russia fast-tracking negotiations for new bilateral investment treaty: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India and Russia are fast-tracking negotiations for a new bilateral investment treaty (BIT) with an aim to provide legal certainty to investors of both countries.

India has opportunity to become trusted partner in shaping future of global finance: Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra has asserted that India has the opportunity to become a trusted partner in shaping the future architecture of global finance.

IMF welcomes India's efforts to modernise statistical framework: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has welcomed the country's efforts to modernise its statistical framework, saying that the incorporation of a new Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and Producer Price Index (PPI) series should help improve the accuracy of GDP estimates amid the ongoing debate over the credibility of India's latest GDP figures.

Apparel retail growth to moderate to 13% in FY27 as consumers diversify spending: Crisil Ratings in its report has said that India's organised apparel retail sector is projected to grow 12-13 per cent this fiscal, moderating from the 15 per cent growth recorded in the previous year, as consumers increasingly spread discretionary spending across categories beyond clothing. 

India aims to lead global 6G race, design tech standards: Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said India aims to lead the world in the upcoming sixth-generation mobile technology and become a designer of global technology standards, asserting that the country is moving from being a market for technology to becoming a maker of technology.

Global front: The U.S. markets ended lower on Thursday after producer price data for August and surging oil prices stoked worries the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates next week. Asian markets are trading in red on Friday following the broadly negative cues from Wall Street overnight.

Back home, snapping three days of decline, Indian equity benchmarks managed to end in green on Thursday on fag-end buying in blue-chip Power Grid and Tech Mahindra. However, elevated crude oil prices above $100-per-barrel mark, amid persistent geopolitical tensions, kept risk appetite subdued throughout the day. Finally, the BSE Sensex rose 138.36 points or 0.19% to 74,902.59 and the CNX Nifty was up by 46.30 points or 0.20% to 23,477.80. 

Some of the important factors in trade:

The two countries are now focusing on developing a framework for preferential market access before the agreement is signed at an appropriate time.

Policy should provide room for innovation growth while ensuring accountability, resilience: Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Deputy Governor Rohit Jain has emphasized that policy should provide room for innovation to grow while ensuring that accountability and resilience grow alongside it. He also stressed that policy has to remain informed by what is happening on the ground.
