"The market is tantalisingly poised with the possibility of a sharp move based on the exit poll results tomorrow evening," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said, adding, "largecaps in financials, autos, capital goods and telecom have the potential to lead the rally." Vijayakumar further said that the latest macroeconomic data from the US showed the world's largest economy grew at slower than expected pace during January-March 2024.
In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong were trading in the positive territory. Wall Street ended lower on Thursday.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude went lower 0.34 per cent to $81.58 a barrel.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 3,050.15 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data.
Meanwhile, the rupee appreciated 5 paise to 83.24 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday boosted by robust sentiment in domestic equity markets and a downward trend in the crude oil prices overseas. Forex traders said, however, strong American currency and unabated outflow of foreign capital weighed on the local unit.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 83.25 and gained further to trade at 83.24 against the greenback in initial deals, registering an increase of 5 paise from its previous closing level. On Thursday, the rupee gained 11 paise to close at 83.29 against the US dollar.
