Indian stock market: The equity market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open lower on Tuesday, following mixed global market cues.
Asian markets traded higher, with Japan’s Nikkei hitting record high, while the US stock market ended lower overnight.
On Monday, the Indian stock market witnessed a short-covering rally, led by buying across the board.
The Sensex surged 746.29 points, or 0.93%, to close at 80,604.08, while the Nifty 50 settled 221.75 points, or 0.91%, higher at 24,585.05.
“It appears that the markets have largely digested the recent tariff-related concerns and are now focusing more on earnings cues, with the results season nearing its end. Additionally, oversold positions in heavyweights are providing support. Traders should maintain a hedged approach and focus on stocks consistently displaying relative strength for long positions,” said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
