India’s benchmark indexes opened marginally higher on Wednesday, after hitting a more than seven-month low in the previous session on uncertainties over U.S. policy under President Donald Trump and worries over domestic corporate earnings.
The Nifty 50 was up 0.23% at 23,079.6 points as of 9:15 a.m. IST, while the BSE Sensex added 0.27% to 76,046.42.
Both the benchmarks lost about 1.5% each on Tuesday, closing at their lowest level since June 6, while volatility in Indian markets rose to the highest since early August.
