Benchmark indices were up marginally in noon deals on Friday amid a weak global sentiment on fears of a likely aggressive rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. The BSE Sensex was up 50-odd points at 53,480. The NSE Nifty50 languished around 15,960. The broader markets also held marginal gains. The BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices were up 0.4 per cent and 0.1 per cent, respectively. “The major drag on the market continues to be the FII selling which has exceeded $30 billion, so far this year. But this month, FIIs have been buyers for 2 days including yesterday. This means some of the FIIs have started buying in segments where valuations have become attractive,” said said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
