Indian markets are set for a steady start following global cues and renewed investor confidence in banking and energy sectors. Technical analysts highlighted that the Nifty may hold support near 25,600 with resistance seen around 25,950 levels. Market breadth improved despite mid-day consolidation, reflecting institutional repositioning before month-end. Global indices advanced as risk sentiment strengthened across Asia. Domestic traders expect continued rotation into large caps and selective accumulation in high-dividend stocks as foreign flows stabilize after last week’s volatility.
