Wall Street set for flat post-Christmas open amid light trading

In the session following the Christmas holiday, U.S. stock futures showed little change, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq futures near flat levels after recent record highs. Light post-holiday liquidity contributed to subdued moves. Major technology names such as Nvidia and Micron showed modest gains, while broader participation remained muted as investors awaited further catalysts.

Indian equities traded in a narrow range amid thin year-end volumes, with Nifty maintaining levels above the 25,900 mark. Market activity reflected cautious positioning rather than aggressive buying or selling. As long as this support remains intact, near-term movement is expected to stay orderly, with incremental upside possible toward the 26,250 zone during low-liquidity holiday sessions.
