Indian Stocks Open Flat on Oct. 6; US-India Trade Frictions, Elevated Oil and RBI Hike Bets Curb Sentiment
AI Market Summary
Indian equities opened flat as multiple macro headwinds offset each other: stalled US-India trade talks, sustained high oil prices near $100, and rising expectations of an RBI rate hike. A slightly weaker rupee signals incremental external pressure. While strategic reserve releases temper supply fears, renewed Middle East security risks keep risk appetite cautious, sustaining near-term volatility in Indian risk assets.

Indian equities opened largely unchanged on Oct. 6, with the Nifty and Sensex trading flat as investor sentiment stayed cautious. Markets were pressured by setbacks in US-India trade deal negotiations, persistently high crude prices and expectations the Reserve Bank of India could raise rates.
The rupee opened slightly weaker at 96.32 per US dollar versus 96.29 at the previous close. Brent crude held around US$100 a barrel. Middle East exports and G7 reserve releases eased some supply concerns, though renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi targets kept risk appetite in check.
