Indian equity markets open the week on a steady note, with benchmark indices starting largely flat as investors tread cautiously. The Sensex opens around the 83,500 mark, while the Nifty begins trade near the 25,650–25,700 zone, reflecting a calm start after last week’s gains.
Early trade sees selective buying in banking and large-cap stocks, while IT and broader market names remain mixed. Global cues are largely neutral, commodity prices are stable, and the rupee trades in a narrow range, keeping overall sentiment balanced in the opening minutes.
