The Indian market opened with mild gains on 24 October as upbeat tech earnings in the U.S. and improved trade-talk sentiment offered a tailwind, though domestic investors remained cautious ahead of key global inflation data. The Nifty 50 index opened around 26,000 levels, while Sensex began the session near 84,550. Broader sentiment remains positive but tempered by elevated valuations and regional risks, especially in export-led sectors. Liquidity flows and foreign-investor buying will be key monitors in the early session.
