Indian shares are expected to open little changed after a recent rally, as renewed tensions in the Middle East dampen ceasefire optimism. GIFT Nifty futures indicate a stable opening near Wednesday's close. Both Nifty 50 and Sensex rose about 4% on Wednesday due to a ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, but investor sentiment has turned cautious following Iran's response to Israeli strikes. Market consolidation and profit-taking are anticipated, with attention shifting to upcoming earnings reports from Indian companies.

In February, inflows into Indian equity mutual funds increased by 8.1% month-on-month to 259.78 billion rupees, marking the first rise in three months, driven by stabilizing earnings and a U.S. trade deal. However, systematic investment plan inflows fell to 298.45 billion rupees. Investments in gold ETFs dropped significantly. Foreign investors turned net buyers, purchasing shares worth 226.15 billion rupees, despite offloading IT stocks. The trade deal reduced tariffs on Indian goods, enhancing market access for agricultural products.

Panic selling hit Dalal Street on March 9, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty dropping over 3% amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The BSE Sensex fell 2,494 points (3.16%) to 76,424, while the Nifty 50 dropped 753 points (3.07%) to an intraday low of 23,697.
